Successive provincial governments chipping away ...
It's the provinces that direct how healthcare transfer payments are spent. And don't forget that Trudeau gave every one of them extra BILLIONS even tho none of them would sign a deal promising that money would be spent on healthcare alone.
Conservatives and the governments they elect.
Let's put the blame where it's due. People who are dumb enough to think voting blue is fiscally responsible.
tons of cutbacks happen under liberal governments... the least they could do is restoring funding....
we keep voting the same 2 parties in over and over expecting different results
Imo we need to get rid of fptp for anything else.
And I guess I was more focused on ontario where the cons have been open about wanting to privatize healthcare
Ditto for Berta
I wholeheartedly agree
