Alberta's Bill 11 creates the legal framework to privatize health care, ending single-tier Public Medicare as a national project, enabling doctors to charge patients directly for health care & bill the public health system at the same time.

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

Some provincial govts aim "to make the use of the notwithstanding clause so routine, so normal, that the Charter becomes entirely optional: no longer a guarantee of the rights contained therein but a suggestion." If this is allowed to happen "the Charter will effectively become a dead letter."

The hardest room to escape.

The problem isn't public health care—the problem is privatization.
