#cdnhealth political ideology damaged healthcare in Canada.

Harper weakened our health care system. Remember what the privileged, wealthy Conservatives did. They can afford for profit health care.

So this is a very interesting article. 1 in 17. Those are very scary numbers. The culture shift is good. We do need the environment to be as such that when a mistake has happened, we can right it. However, patients also deserve compensation and accountability. #cdnhealth #onpoli #fordnation

Culture shift on harm in care should include no fault compensation.

We also need system level accountability so executives and politicians cannot hide behind the CMPA & at fault.

We need to bring this into single payer & reduce private for profit care homes to a low percentage of beds.

We need non-profit in single payer, ideally nationalized for consistency & scale Prov’s are incapable of achieving.

If Premiers want to strengthen healthcare they can back a national citizens assembly on healthcare (see my pinned post) to capitalize on single payer #cdnhealth #saskhealth

Gov of Sask:
“These moments remind us why we must continue to listen, learn, and strengthen our health care system.”

It’s not acceptable there was no follow up to explain everything that occurred in surgery.

CBC & other outlets (Power Play) need to be reporting on this junk regularly.

The Con Party supporting this is bizarre. The line used to be at mini-van and private school.

Poilievre wants to end the CBC for a reason.
Poilievre’s interests align with oligarchs, not the working class.

The CBC would benefit from a bias review at the producer level and above.

CBC (all stations) should be reminding the public weekly that PP refuses to come in for interviews.

IMO
The western world has a media problem

The media used to hold the politicians to account
Now they install fascists

This is why the US has Trump
This is why the UK is expecting a Farage government

This is why there has never been a MSM story about the IDU

This is a huge problem for democracy

This is terrifying and so wrong. I lived in some of these areas and worked in a dangerous enough industry where access to an ED was important. Took more than one coworker to one of these EDs due to workplace injuries.

Parksy @pfparks.bsky.social · 1d

Think of the impact this would have on the pt's family, wondering if an open local ED could have made a difference?

We understand that we cannot have an ED in every town, but closures are regularly occurring in places like: Hinton, Edson, Lac La Biche, Oyen... and many more

China is absolutely correct in doing this. Canada should also not send rare earth minerals to a madman. Not to mention any other countries that process them. They want us dead. Let the world stop them by starving them of the ability to produce more weapons, that only hurt the world.

How about tax software?
Should we support Canadian tax software this year (is there any?)

The Federal Gov should be issuing a spreadsheet that we can use for most basic taxes for free 🍁✅

I used to work at an immigration center in Greece. Most of the people I met were refugees who dreamed of reaching America. They wanted safety, work, dignity, everything humans deserve. I told them Canada could give them that. Canada was safer, kinder, fairer. But...

Why do closures of EDs & surgical & obstetric units not provoke outcry in rural Alberta?
I used to train rural anesthesia docs who provided excellent service to their communities such as Edson, Ponoka, Westlock
Drumheller, Slave Lake etc. Not now.
Why does this not matter to rural Albertans?

People might want to stop supporting those chefs that want profit over listening to science for human health

“But, as The New York Times has reported, some celebrity chefs have come out in opposition to the bill, particularly those who sell or endorse cookware lines.”
