Write & ask PM Carney to fund a National Citizens Assembly on Healthcare for these 3 core issues:
1) Jurisdiction
2) For Profit vs Non-Profit delivery
3) At Fault vs No-Fault harm in care compensation.
S Korea Nationalized healthcare and it paid off big time.

Althia Raj: Mark Carney is quietly giving sweeping new powers to his ministers
Sneaking a change of this magnitude into a 600-page bill that will not get parliamentary scrutiny raises a red flag, Althia Raj writes.

I understand the history of the Canada Health Act, and how powers are distributed between the feds and provinces.
But it doesn’t mean things can’t change if there was the will for it, and i believe Federal control is needed here.
There is no universality.

Why have so many corporations donated to Trump’s White House ballroom project?
Could it be because many of them have lucrative government contracts?
Or because they have mergers and other regulatory business before Trump?
I’m sure they just thought a ballroom sounded nice…
