Important healthcare thread 🍁🧵⤵️ Dr. Jane Philpott was played by the Ontario Conservatives. Reading this should make us want to review provincial jurisdiction and system level accountability. We need a national citizens assembly on healthcare w/ a requirement to act on results. #cdnhealth #cdnpoli

Voting does not fix provincial run healthcare. Elections do not bring health system level accountability. MoH’s are shuffled out, people vote on other issues like the economy & jobs. How do we justify the billions it cost to have Prov run / 13 systems w/o accountability?
