Write & ask PM Carney to fund a National Citizens Assembly on Healthcare for these 3 core issues:

1) Jurisdiction
2) For Profit vs Non-Profit delivery
3) At Fault vs No-Fault harm in care compensation.

It's not just Tricolor.
Subprime loans for cars .... a big problem.

Chart from www.wsj.com/business/aut...

The K-shaped market comes to auto: more cars over $50K, more delinquencies, defaults and repos.
Good story here:

When politicians make guarantees, they must be held accountable. Albertans were promised no out-of-pocket costs for healthcare — no exceptions. A $100 vaccine fee isn’t just a bill, it’s a broken promise. #Alberta #Accountability #HealthCare #AxeTheCaxTax #ABleg #ABpoli
A mock greeting card styled as an official government communication from Alberta. On the left side of the open card is a fake invoice labeled “Government of Alberta” with the provincial crest at the top. The address reads “Alberta Health, 10025 Jasper Avenue NW, Edmonton, Alberta T5J 1G.” The heading says “INVOICE – ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE,” with details showing a charge of $100 for a COVID-19 vaccination administrative fee. A large red rubber stamp diagonally across the invoice reads “RETURN TO SENDER” in bold block letters. Below, faint text clarifies “SAMPLE – SATIRE / NOT OFFICIAL.” On the right-hand side, a printed letter is addressed to “Premier Smith.” The text reads: Dear Premier Smith, In April 2023, you made Health Care Guarantee, assuring Albertans that no one would ever have to pay out of pocket to see their doctor or receive the medical treatment they need — no exceptions. I recently received a $100 administrative bill for a COVID-19 vaccine. In the spirit of your promise, I am therefore returning this bill to your office for correction. A Tax-Paying Albertan The card combines political satire and protest imagery, criticizing Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for an alleged contradiction between a public healthcare promise and a supposed out-of-pocket vaccine fee. The “RETURN TO SENDER” stamp symbolizes the sender’s rejection of the bill and their demand that the government honor its guarantee of no-cost healthcare. The overall tone is formal, ironic, and defiant, intended to highlight perceived inconsistency in provincial healthcare policy while emphasizing that the image is parody, not an authentic government document.

Have you seen this idea to write the PM requesting citizens assembly?

Consistency for things like vaccines would be valuable for Canadians and reduce workload for provinces.

“Alarmingly, three quarters of a stove’s methane emissions leak out of the stove when the burners are off. Long-term methane gas poisoning can cause lasting cardiovascular, respiratory and neurological problems.”

I have read health issues are being linked to gas stoves.

So this is a very interesting article. 1 in 17. Those are very scary numbers. The culture shift is good. We do need the environment to be as such that when a mistake has happened, we can right it. However, patients also deserve compensation and accountability. #cdnhealth #onpoli #fordnation

Culture shift on harm in care should include no fault compensation.

We also need system level accountability so executives and politicians cannot hide behind the CMPA & at fault.

We need to bring this into single payer & reduce private for profit care homes to a low percentage of beds.

We need non-profit in single payer, ideally nationalized for consistency & scale Prov’s are incapable of achieving.
