This isn't about wait times. It's about dismantling Public Medicare for profit. #onpoli #healthcare #nursing #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney #abpoli #cdnpoli #privatization

A group with alarming American connections is pushing for the privatization of Canadian public health care by spinning a false narrative, but their report doesn't make sense at all. #onpoli #healthcare #dougford #abpoli #daniellesmith #cdnpoli #markcarney

TODAY: cross-Canada actions to stop the destruction of Public Medicare. Locations of local rallies in Ontario below 👇 Please share widely and make a show of strength with us. #onpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney #healthcare

"This is unequivocally the biggest threat to our single-payer, universal Medicare system we've ever seen. Not just for Albertans, but for all Canadians." - @friendsofmedicare.bsky.social. Rally locations below⬇️ #onpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney #healthcare

Public health care in Canada is under a full-on privatization attack and the forces leading the charge are citing numbers that don't make sense. #healthcare #onpoli #bcpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney

Canadian sovereignty means standing up for our values: our public health care is facing the most urgent crisis we have seen since its inception. 👇The twin threats & our first actions in the fightback #onpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney #healthcare

If this federal government does not find some strength and stand up for Public Medicare, we’re going to lose it in Canada. #onpoli #abpoli #bcpoli #polqc #nbpoli #nlpoli #nspoli #peipoli #cdnpoli #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney #healthcare #nursing

Canada Strong is healthy people who get the care they need when they need it, regardless of location or ability to pay. #onpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli #healthcare #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney #fyp

Privatization is not the solution. It makes wait lists longer and allows queue-jumping for the few who can afford it. #onpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli #healthcare #hospital #nursing #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney #ontario #alberta #canada

Canadian sovereignty has to mean something. Fundamental to the values that underlie our society is that we take care of each other. That is part of what makes us Canadian. #onpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli #healthcare #hospital #nursing #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney #ontario #alberta #canada

It's more important than ever to counter disinformation from pro-privatization forces because the problem is not public health care. The problem is cuts and privatization. #onpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli #healthcare #hospital #nursing #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney

Privatization is not about wait times. It's about dismantling public health care. #onpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli #healthcare #hospital #nursing #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney

For-profit clinics & hospitals cost us more, not less. #onpoli #cdnpoli #healthcare #dougford
