A group with alarming American connections is pushing for the privatization of Canadian public health care by spinning a false narrative, but their report doesn't make sense at all.

Some provincial govts aim "to make the use of the notwithstanding clause so routine, so normal, that the Charter becomes entirely optional: no longer a guarantee of the rights contained therein but a suggestion." If this is allowed to happen "the Charter will effectively become a dead letter."

BC Should End Costly Deals with Private Health Staffing Agencies | The Tyee Growing use of the contractors has pushed up costs and hurt morale.

💯"...the more reliant health authorities become on private agencies, the more they will continue to squeeze the health-care budget and hollow out the public sector workforce."

When budgets are tight, provinces should stop doling out money to private clinics.

In Ontario, it’s a time of plenty for private health care while public hospitals starve - CCPA Ontario public hospitals face large deficits even as the provincial government doles out more cash to for-profit providers.

"Ontario has the lowest per-capita hospital spending in the country. Expanding private care will worsen access." #ONpoli #health
