DEFEND PUBLIC HEALTH CARE. RESPECT INDIGENOUS SOVEREIGNTY. ✊🏽 On July 21–22, OSSTF/FEESO proudly joined the @OntarioHealthC’s Shadow Summit, Rally & Car Cavalcade in Huntsville, standing alongside health care unions, the Canadian @HealthCoalition 🇨🇦, First Nation leaders,…
Augurs badly for health care in AB, ON and SK. If you care about health care you care about nurses. « The conditions of work are the conditions of care. » #CdnPoli
Three Premiers couldn’t be bothered to show up for the group photo with Canada’s nurses this week: Smith, Moe and Ford.
“Canadians like to see our politicians co-operating on issues of national concern, and that extends to health care. So we’re looking to see this spirit of collaboration,” @StevenStaples of @HealthCoalition halifax.citynews.ca/2025/07/21/adv…
‘a new poll suggests nearly all Canadians(89%)believe improving access to our universal health system should also be a key priority in building a stronger country’ 89%!!! Now that’s a mandate! Elbows AND ears @MarkJCarney … Elbows AND ears cma.ca/latest-stories…
We’ll be rallying and reminding the Premiers that Canadians support health care on Tuesday at the Council of the Federation in Huntsville. @MarkJCarney #CdnPoli
89% of Canadians believe better health care is key to a stronger country. So how do we get there? My view-Make provinces more accountable for the tax dollars they spend. I think there is a lot of waste and diversion. @CMA_Docs cma.ca/latest-stories…
Nik Barry Shaw points out the biggest threat against #pharmacare which gets 1 billion versus 20 billion in unbridled military spending. Pharmacare is being nickel and dimed while billions will go to the military.

Health care advocates gather to defend Medicare in the lead up to the meeting of the Premiers at the Council of the Federation in Huntsville. We’ll be making our voices heard!! @fordnation @MarkJCarney @francoislegault @ABDanielleSmith #CdnPoli
So @MarkJCarney Canadians overwhelmingly want Billionaires and the 1% taxed more. Will you do it? Or are you still working for them?
Canadians deserve to keep more of what they earn — so we cut taxes for the middle class. Families across Canada will save up to $840 a year. That’s good news for you, and good news for our economy.
Any governments across Canada that claim to prioritize the economy while dismantling our public health care have lost their moral compass. Read our joint statement ahead of the gathering of First Ministers and the Council of the Federation below ⬇️ ontariohealthcoalition.ca/index.php/advi…
An excellent clear thread about why signing pharmacare agreements is beneficial to Canadians. With only 4 provinces onboard 4/5 of us are not covered. That means inequality and problems for many accessing their meds and increased costs to people and the hospital system. #CdnPoli
Provinces and territories that have not joined the new national universal pharmacare program are missing out on hundreds of millions of dollars in potential federal funding for cash-strapped public health care services. @ccpa @StevenStaples 1/6
According to our friends at the @CCPA most of the Carney government cuts will be on transfers to other govs, non-profits and people. A stunning 1 in 5 dollars is just cuts to FN govs for basic social programs. The Cda Heath Transfer is OK for now. #CdnPoli
The cuts are rapidly expanding and more than half will come from fed transfers to other govs, persons, non-profits and biz. Big transfers like equalization and health transfer are protected, but there's more than those transfers. 1/x datawrapper.de/_/xzSL2/
Most provinces are refusing hundreds of millions in federal pharmacare funding as provincial health care is under increasing financial strain. Why are governments refusing cash for expanded services? How much is your province passing up? #cdnpoli policyalternatives.ca/news-research/…
Our friends @UnitedNurses will address chronic and ongoing shortages of nurses in their meetings with the Premiers at the Council of the Federation Monday and Tuesday in Huntsville-health care is top of mind for a lot of us and we are going to say so! una.ca/1685/canadas-n…
Four out of five Canadians don't have access to the new federal pharmacare program yet—and provinces are dragging their feet in negotiations for agreements. Read more by Steve Staples: policyalternatives.ca/news-research/…
Proncial and Terr’l gov’ts are losing out to the tune of millions in federal pharmacare funding - just leaving it on the table according to the @ccpa #cdnpoli @picardonhealth @Avis_Favaro @KenyonWallace @kkirkup policyalternatives.ca/news-research/…
Governments across Canada claiming to prioritise the economy & dismantling public health care have lost their moral compass. See our joint statement in the lead-up to the meeting of the Premiers and @MarkJCarney next week #cdnpoli #CounciloftheFederation friendsofmedicare.org/pthcs_joint_st…
New study shows that public Long Term Care offers the most total hours of care per resident day (HPRD), and better wages and benefits for care givers. Non-profit LTC came in second, and for-profit LTCs provided the least HPRD/wages/benefits. #cdnpoli www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/82-003-…
