Avi Lewis @avilewis.ca · 17/04/20261/ Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social and I had a warm and productive first conversation today. I shared the NDP’s concerns about the cost-of-living crisis facing Canadians, including the creepy practice of surveillance pricing. 640782
Avi Lewis @avilewis.ca · 17/04/20262/ I raised the urgent need to stop the privatization of health care by dusting off and actually enforcing the Canada Health Act. And I reiterated our position that Canada must take a clear moral stand against illegal wars (and the countries that start them) in this age of impunity. 628039
20xt6 @20xt6.bsky.social · 17/04/2026We can be leaders in standing up against these wars. We can set an example. Other countries will follow our lead. 060
MondoAB @mondoab.bsky.social · 19/04/2026I have not heard the Libs nor Carney say a word about the Canada Health Act, which Alberta's Bill 11 absolutely is violating. If Alberta gets away with it, surely all the other right leaning provincial governments, with intense lobbying from private insurance will go the same route. 041
CovidSolutions @covidsolutions.bsky.social · 17/04/2026Indeed, I'd argue that "privatization" has been made to euphemism, whereas it's a question of morality. We are a society that rejects #HealthcareBankruptcy, let alone what can only be described as murder for profit. 👇 bsky.app/profile/tass...Tassie Devil@tassiedevil.bsky.socialAustralia's Medicare has its problems, but I'll take it any day over this shit.moneywise.comWest Virginia dad dies after insurer denied his $50,000 cancer treatment 4 times — 93% of patients face the same delaysThe vast majority of patients who require prior authorization from their insurer face delays, which can result in permanent disability or even death. 121
Avi Lewis @avilewis.ca · 17/04/20263/ It was a forthright and friendly exchange — and it made me feel encouraged about the prospects of a little old school respectful political debate in this country. 517112
