Not true. Our governments spend enough. Our federal government grew by 24% in the last few years. The Moron of Ottawa is spending like a drunken sailor on leave, just recently he committed $40 billion to the Natives for something with no strings attached. We certainly spend more on healthcare than most of the developed world, yet we get shit in return- We don't even meet the WHO's minimum requirements for the number of beds per capita. Our system is a sacred cow, untouchable, beyond evolution, over staffed, over unionized, over funded, overly politicized and it consistently underperforms.
You've never worked for the government. If you did, you'd be appalled at how money is wasted. There's enough tax dollars... but it's not spent properly.
You do realize it is the provinces responsible for administering health care and correct me if I'm wrong. It is a Conservative government in charge, NO??
Its administered by the provinces but Its funded mostly by the federal gov't through direct transfers. You seem to forget that for 15 years we had a Liberal gov't running the show here in Ontario.
SO why isn't Dougy a Conservative jumping up and down (just stand back if you're too close if he is) screaming at Justin for more health care dollars before Covid, during Covid and probably after Covid? Actually, the opposite, Doug and his government worked hand in hand with Justin and were content with the money flowing in. This isn't being said by me to criticize Doug, I actually thought it was awesome Doug and Justin working together to deal with a pandemic unlike the dumbasses across the border.
People criticizing the lack of capacity in health care seem to disagree with you.
As much as I think Doug should be investigated for pandering to his LTC buddies while their patients were dying off, it's the voters, most of whom knew exactly what his act was who put him in office because they were bored with Liberals....
NOW prior to Covid, Dougy was a very bad boy
Bob Hepburn: Why Doug Ford’s to blame for health-care mess
Since taking office more than two years ago, Ford has made a long series of policy and funding moves that have worsened — not improved — the already underfunded and overloaded system.www.thestar.com
Where are you getting your data from? I'd really like to know the source. When I look on the Reuters Covid tracker website, Israel has had very few deaths, and Canada much worse per capita.
From Reuters site, Canada has had 846.7 deaths per million while Israel has 918.7
I'm looking at the same data set. Not interested in how the pandemic has played out over the last two years, just looking to see what's happening now. Last reported date, January 15, Canada has 133 deaths and Israel reports 10. Canada has 38 million citizens, Israel just over 9 million. For four times as large a population, Canada has 13 times as meany deaths.From Reuters site, Canada has had 846.7 deaths per million while Israel has 918.7

I get where you're going but Israel started vaccinating much earlier and half their population was boosted before omicron hit them while Canada had barely rolled out boosters so it makes a direct comparison troublesome.
