Access to medically necessary care should be based on need and not your ability to pay. If you agree, join me and Canadian Doctors for Medicare in calling the federal government to take action in defending the Canada Health Act. 2/3

Let me be clear: we know from evidence in countries around the world that physician dual practice drains resources away from the public system and, in many cases, increases wait times for public patients. This goes directly against the spirit of the Canada Health Act. 1/3

the UCP plan is to implement HIDDEN TAXES! This is the very definition of taxation without representation They did NOT run on this, and they aren't even telling you about it... but you'll eventually find out as all the personal bills start to come due! 4/5

- Seniors:  HC premiums + co-pay (private insurance is now first to pay, so premiums will go up 5% or more)- Employers/Employees:  HC premiums, $1900 Head-tax for industries short on workers- Albertans: out of pocket pay for testing and treatment/surgery All while HC Access worsens... 3/5

It's well known that the Trump administration wants to crush the Canadian economy to force us into a U.S. dominated-customs union. It's helpful to remind those who think there is some kind of "deal" to be had when the President shouts it from the rooftops.
Trump post saying that Carney is making the US "the enemy" "until their economy collapses, then it will prove to be very bad for Politics - worse than anything that has ever happened to a Canadian Politician. Just watch!"

Again, the lesson for Canada fron the tariffs - but also the EU, the Indo-Pacific and any other region looking to do business with the U.S. - is that the tools have been taken out, this will not end with Trump.

Today @cdndrsformedicare.bsky.social sent a letter to PM Mark Carney about Alberta's plan to undermine health care. "Canadians deserve reforms that strengthen Medicare, not policies that erode it through profitization ..." www.canadiandoctorsformedicare.ca/alberta_bill... #cdnhealth #cdnpoli
An open letter from Canadian Doctors for Medicare to Prime Minister Mark Carney: "Dear Prime Minister,
We are writing again, with far greater urgency, regarding Alberta's Health Statutes Amendment Act,
2025 (No. 2). Since our last letter sent to you on March 3, 2026, this legislation has moved from having
become law to increasingly entrenched policy.
Every week of federal inaction allows dual practice, extra-billing, user-charges, and private-payment
infrastructure to become further embedded in Alberta's health system. What could once have been
reversed with a policy correction will soon require dismantling a functioning private pay market, a far
harder and more disruptive task. We urge your government to act now."

Unpopular opinion: if we spent less time trying to recall politicians, launch petitions, get the feds to disallow provincial policies, waiting for the courts to overturn laws, or wishing on a prayer for proportional representation, we'd have a lot more time for engaging in pivotal elections.
