Today is the 42nd anniversary of the Canada Health Act. We are calling on PM Mark Carney and Minister Marjorie Michel to enforce the Act and stop Alberta's experiement in two-tiered Medicine. Need not money should dictate care.

“Bill 11 brings two-tier, American-style health care to Alberta. It will mean that Albertans will experience a system where those who have money will be able to pay to have access to quicker care & the rest of us will be left waiting longer or go without," said FOM's Chris Gallaway.

Seems like a good time to remind people that Canada Post will deliver any piece of mail to federal elected officials for FREE. No stamp necessary! Just a reminder in case you, oh I dunno, wanna send your elected officials a sternly worded letter a day for a year or something.
