With 6.5 million Canadians without a family doctor and with long waits in ERs and to see a specialist putting lives at risk, a new way forward is urgently needed. Certainly expanding private health-care services would help take the pressure off the public system. I lived in England, where the mix of private and public health care works well. The other thing that needs addressing is the fact that thousands of doctors have immigrated to Canada only to find they cannot practise here. Rather than
fixing the broken health-care system, Mark Carney sent a message informing foreigners that Canada had “free health care” to encourage more mass immigration. LARRY COMEAU ANY PIPELINE BELIEVERS? Re: Smith-Carney pipeline deal still faces major First Nations, investor hurdles, May 17 Does anyone believe for a minute that the proposed pipeline scheduled for 17 months from now will ever be built? So much for fast tracking. I can’t believe Alberta Premier Danielle Smith agreed to it. There are so many conditions attached to the proposal
that, as far as I’m concerned, it will never happen. Seems to me just the unnecessary costs for Mark Carney’s fanatical obsession with net zero will do nothing but drive investment away.
