Honest answer?
If you’ve lived through Canadian HC for a few decades, you’ll notice a few things:
It’s no where near as good as it was in the past.
It’s broken now after Covid and the apathetic response to the stress upon the system.
The conservative governments (mostly provincial) are purposely not putting monies where needed (eg more staff), and underfunding everything in it so the system breaks. This way, their associates can swoop in and take over with “more efficient” and faster HC services - and they can then begin raking in the enormous profit margins seen in the private US system (many of whom are their ‘associates’).
Canadians in most provinces are currently being slow-walked into private, for profit HC.
If you don’t see this. You’re truly blinded by your comforting illusions of what Canada is now, compared to 20-30 years ago. Shit, even 10.
Two-tiered HC coning right up!

If you could plant a single thought in the minds of everyone on Earth simultaneously, what thought would you choose to share?
“The purpose of your life is to make others happy”
Put that in the head of all the ‘players’.

Toronto patient waiting for hospital bed watched for 48 hours as ER staff dealt with flood of sick patients
Conservative government is trying to break health care.
This allows their cronies to set up private health care for crazy profits.
You know? The American model?

This is the reason your ER doctors are leaving: You don’t have a family doctor, and you can’t get an admission bed. So you end up waiting and waiting in the ER for a physician
This is the ‘slow walk’ to private (read:profitable) health care in Canada.
All these business interests pushing the governments to ‘let it ride, until it breaks’.
Then they can swoop in, take over, and CASH IN BAYBY!
Money, favours, and stock options speak volumes.

Poll says three in four want Trudeau to go, but Trudeau insists he’ll stay
Good grief. Everyone talks like Trudeau is lacking, and he might be, but has anyone considered that it’s a MINORITY government right now. You can’t just “ram shit through”, you have to work with others and play nice.
I fucking LOVE this situation right now.
A. It’s not the right-wing wackos in charge - don’t get me started. B. Trudeau has resources and experienced support, old favours, blah blah C. But Trudeau is held in check by, mostly, by the NDP(who I view as the political ’conscience’ of Canada). D. NDP are the real kingmakers - anything doesn’t pass muster? Nope! E. This forces EVERYONE to play and work together.
Isn’t that what this country is about?
Or is it about, “MY turn to drive!”? There’s no absolute power, right now and that’s a good thing.
Who gives a shit if a turd is, technically, “in charge”? The bus is driving like it’s supposed to.
Did he steal a cookie? They ALL do!

Dropping prices and heavy tax burden will mean cannabis industry bankruptcies, warns producer
Yes. But the greedy business venture folks thought all that prohibition-profit could be gathered with a butterfly net by legally now becoming the “dealers”.
If you read through the old white paper on the matter 5 or 6 years ago (?) put together byb the LPC. It stated that home cultivation should stay in to mitigate the government, or private industry from becoming the new “dealers”. They likened it to the home made wine industry.
This is how it was intended to roll out, more or less. Industry is just pissed because they can’t pull in $10-15 a gram on low- grade, or mids.
People want weed grown with care. It makes all the difference.
Also, they made it all about THC content. …it’s not about that. You can get seriously fucked up on 15% THC with good terpenes, and a short, dull high from 33% corporate junk.
…IMO.
