Canada still approaches misinformation as secondary rather than key component of climate-risk management. Continues to rely on outdated communication mediums like radio, TV, static gov websites, while climate misinfo is optimized for social-media. False content circulates quickly online digitally
theconversation.com/climate-misi... Emergency response systems depend on public trust to function. When that trust erodes, response capacity weakens and preventable harm increases.
Climate misinformation is becoming a national security threat. Canada isn’t ready for it
Climate misinformation is undermining emergency response during crises. Canadian governments need to develop co-ordinated efforts to tackle it.

there is NO SITUATION where it is normal for a pt to wait >8hrs with severe chest pain if there is ANY meaningful flow in an ED that is functioning as it should be.

You are blaming the federal government for provincial responsibilities. Learn the difference. There has been a decade + of Con governments in the majority of the country at the provincial level. They have gutted rent controls, refused increases in minimum wage, eroded public housing & healthcare etc
