    Reimer said she was “surprised and disappointed” to see that health care was not included on the agenda for this week’s federal leaders’ debates, despite polling that suggests it is a top concern for voters.

    Heathcare is under provincial control, so if the provincial leaders would get their heads out of their asses they could band together and ask the feds for some help advertising their vacancies.

    As far as extra dollars for healthcare every province has (and will be) receiving extra billions from contracts they negotiated with Trudeau.

    If they spent that money on other things - which they made sure was a prerequisite to signing the deal - it’s on them.

      THANK YOU. Nothing stood out more to me over the last 5+ years then people who are completely ignorant of how our government is structured and who manages what and who is responsible for what.

      And surprise, nobody fucking understood that healthcare, education, infrastructure, and housing (until the last two years) are ALL provincial responsibilities. And yet people refuse to vote in provincial elections or pay attention to them, and keep voting in conservatives who refuse to expand public healthcare, cut education, and spend frivolous amounts of money on Infrastructure thats for the fossil fuel industry. 🙄
