“We’ve met with Marjorie Michel. We think she’s a capable minister, knowledgeable about the file, and we’ve had very frank and honest discussions with her. We think she wants to be the guardian of medicare. But does Prime Minister Carney?” said Steven Staples, the national director of policy with the Canadian Health Coalition, quoted in this rofile of federal health minister Marjorie Michel @MarjoriePLC by @R_SPatel of the @TorontoStar. @JMACL3AN @StevenStaples @MarkJCarney @mablanchard65 @DougEyolfson @HedyFry @HelenaJaczek @drbrendanhanley @DrJacquesRamsay @docdanielle @CMA_Docs @BoluOgunyemi1 @canadanurses @CFNU @CFNUPresident

Provinces and territories that have not joined the new national universal pharmacare program are missing out on hundreds of millions of dollars in potential federal funding for cash-strapped public health care services. @ccpa @StevenStaples 1/6

Trump says Canada should adopt U.S.-style health care, where big insurance and pharma dominate, medical debt bankrupts families, and thousands go without care. That’s not the future we want. On April 28th, vote to protect public health care. #VoteHealthCare #Cdnpoli #Elxn45

Absolutely preposterous claims made against one of this country’s best defence writers. The idea of Dave playing hockey on the Russian embassy team is particularly hilarious to anyone who knows him.
I've never seen anything like this. Former Canadian Member of Parliament Chris Alexander just accused longtime Ottawa Citizen reporter @davidpugliese of being a Russian asset. He cites papers we cannot see. It's roughly 40 minutes into this video. cpac.ca/in-committee-from-th…

Thanks to the NDP, 9 million Canadians will have access to the dental care they deserve.
Seniors, children, people with disabilities will soon be able to get to the dentist without worrying about the cost.
This is the biggest expansion of public healthcare in half a century.

Today is the 2nd anniversary of the entry into force of the United Nations #NuclearBan Treaty, which makes nuclear weapons illegal under international law. I call on Canada to finally help free the world from nuclear weapons by signing and ratifying the Treaty now! @nuclearban

Responding to Zelensky’s remarks tonight, a NATO country diplomat told me: “This is getting ridiculous. The Ukrainians are destroying [our] confidence in them. Nobody is blaming Ukraine and they are openly lying. This is more destructive than the missile.” ft.com/content/d417ea8f-62ee…
