Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, right, and Nova Scotia NDP leader Gary Burrill take the ferry to Dartmouth from Halifax on Aug. 11, 2021.The NDP is promising free mental-health care, a national dental care program, a push for universal pharmacare and an end to private, for-profit long-term care in a new outline of the party’s commitments.
Among the health care pledges is a promise to create a national dental care program and fight for universal pharmacare, as well as make mental-health care free and accessible for anyone who needs it. The document also includes provisions for ensuring Canada is better prepared for a health crisis such as a pandemic and for improving the long-term care system.As part of the party’s health care priorities, the NDP wants to create a Crown corporation responsible for vaccine production within Canada.
“It’s harder to find a home, to get the health care that we need, to have hope for the future when we see the dangers of the climate crisis growing and threatening everything we hold dear,” NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said in a statement. “Going back to that isn’t good enough.” In anticipation of an election, Mr. Singh has been travelling the country since the beginning of summer, visiting different regions and occasionally making campaign-style announcements.
It is not, NOT, NOT free!! It actually means someone else will be forced to pay for it.
I douth it. They have become a liberal puppet party. They will likely tip the balance in the next election. Another 4 yrs of a so called minority government that does anything its want to do. Staying in power is number 1 at any cost. Canada is doomed.
True mental health care for true illnesses involves medication not talking with 'therapists'. I had to fight off free therapy as doctors in the GTA are now jumping on the CBT bandwagon. You can't talk yourself out of a biological condition. It's like leeches and blood letting.
Don’t we already have free mental health care
Great ideas from the NDP but how would all these things be paid for?
Great. But could you please explain the two thumbs up in front of The Supreme Court given our courts taking an Alice In Naziland approach, gaslighting to cover up a war on hetero love helping the US link Canada to 9/11 (even tho an anti= statement) & encouraging more mass attacks
😂😂😂
LIE, LIE, LIE and the media will promptly sell all those lies for them.
