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."

When the government claims TMX is mega profitable (Tim Hodgson keeps saying $1 billion a year), remember that we BOUGHT IT for $34 billion. So it won’t be profitable for *34 years* at this rate, and that’s if oil demand doesn’t decline! (It will!) It very likely will NEVER be profitable:

IISD writes: “The TMX pipeline is not recouping its costs. Because the tolls charged to the oil industry do not cover the full project costs, Canadian taxpayers could end up subsidizing oil shipments by between CAD 8.7 billion and CAD 18.8 billion, or up to CAD 1,255 per household, over the life of the project.”

So when Avi Lewis talks about public ownership, it's a direct challenge to the privileged class. It's the majority taking back what's ours. We need publicly owned assisted living facilities, better public healthcare for the elderly, TAXING that top 20% when they go to transfer their wealth.
