It was a remarkable sight to see the provincial leaders present a united front in defence of Canada-wide universal health, especially given the tattered state of the federation. Even Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, making her council debut, struck a conciliatory tone, invoking the Canada Health Act and “cooperative federalism” in her remarks to reporters.The NP Comment newsletter from columnist Colby Cosh and NP Comment editors tackles the important topics with boldness, verve and wit.
provincial reporting requirements and federally-imposed performance measures as preconditions for increased federal health transfers; an obvious non-starter to anyone paying attention to the negotiations.Article content Trudeau’s evasiveness on health care transfers has exasperated even ideologically friendly provincial governments. NDP-affiliated British Columbia Health Minister Adrian Dix recently told reporters, “It’s always a new moving excuse, a new line in the sand that drifts away after the tide comes in.”
PM: I’ll give you more funds but they have to be spent on health care. Conservative Premiers: Absolutely not. National Post: WHY WOULD TRUDEAU DO THIS?!?!?
This is a biased article.
Provincial. Premiers - conservative - are burning healthcare down So many reasons to NeverVoteConservative
Why do you do this? How about giving the reason? Ford was given $4.4B fucking dollars for Covid and ‘can’t find it’. JFC. Report the news. Both sides. We don’t care about your fucking lopsided opinions.
Fake news from PostMedia (what’s new? 🙄). The feds have increased transfer payments by $7B over last year:
Another National Post writer who doesn't understand the government, or is happy to mislead to cover for incompetent Conservatives. Good job!
Healthcare is a federal program, it’s time to administer it at the federal level. Cut out the provincial middlemen who have misappropriated those funds.
I think that is the Provinces who won’t agree to standards
Conservative media trying unsuccessfully to shame Canadians into throwing away our healthcare money to corrupt premiers
CdnMediaFailed
So tired of news outlets, posting opinion pieces... that's not news.
The feds are being super reasonable, it’s the premiers who REFUSE to be held accountable to something as fundamental as having a plan of what they would do to make things better. Today, we can guarantee that Dough Ford will embezzle any federal given to him.
Ummm isn’t healthcare *provincial * jurisdiction?
Trudeau needs increase federal powers to improve social health care. We should give him the power to rule by decree.
No, Liberal voters, NDP voters and Trudeau are content to watch health care system crumble.
Of course. Deep Fake Doctors don't need pensions and can work 24/7. Also can do other things. World Economic Forum's Fourth Industrial Revolution. You are the lab rat. cdnpoli
His final solution:
The premiers need to justify what they need the money for how they are going to use to improve Healthcare delivery. Since we know the penchant for conservative premiers throwing buckets of tax money to their rich pals in private sector, no one can stop them from doing that again
Well, he did say he cares about Canadians health. Then he ran people over with horses. Then he said we heard things ‘differently’ if there ever was a leader in Canada that needed to be removed. It justin.
When did PMJT share his feeling of 'contentment' on health care with rmohamed_yyc? cdnpoli
He is asking for accountability . Premiers are the problem
NP the garbage rag at it again ...
The Premiers CANNOT be trusted! They have cut provincial funding to Healthcare throughout the pandemic! They have used federal funding for everything except Healthcare! They have treated nurses so badly that they are quiting in droves! String must be attached to all money!
The federal gov't extracts huge amounts of money from Canadians through excessive taxation and then reluctantly doles out increasingly smaller amounts back to the provinces in the form of transfer payments while wasting billions on their own. This is why Canada doesn't work.
Hey NP: maybe your readers would be better informed if your correspondents understood the constitution of the country they are writing about before you publish their BS articles. But hey, it’s your paper so I guess you don’t care about that kind of thing,
NP losing credibility with every tweet
Canadians would rather let it crumble than answer some hard questions or start paying into the system more. It says plenty about Canadians and their level of misplaced entitlement
luinov1962 Yep. Then he’ll blame conservatives. His go to for election; Abortion Guns Health care I’m sure China will help any way they can…
Major sign of disrespect for the provincial premiers and Canadian people! Can 13 premiers fire Trudeau, they should!
It is not a climate issue so no concern ... lol
That was the Plan all along. WEF Playbook
ikwilson Well that’s because Trudeau is a prominent member of a group who’s goal is depopulation. You achieve depopulation through people dying or being killed in astronomical numbers. Trudeau wants most of the people on earth dead. Get it?
Of course. JustinTrudeau doesn't have to wait on long queues when he wants to see a doctor.
No. He has said he'll give more money if the premiers agree to not steal it. The premiers said, 'No way.'
For the love of all that’s sacred - Health Care is a provincial mandate! We would be far better served if PMJT were actually in charge of, and responsibly for the delivery. STOP LYING!
No he’s not. Healthcare is provincial jurisdiction with some federal money and standards. Look to conservative premiers and their cronies who very much want the public system to crumble and a private, for-profit system to replace it. Cui bono?
New Brunswick has had a surplus 2 years running. It's our premier that is watching our healthcare crumble. That is when he is not too busy trying to destroy our education system, dismantle language rights, or disrespect our First Nations.
