Please not Dr. Henry who has been more withholding of public health tools and information than any PHO in Canada. But the fact Carney has allowed us to go so long without a top federal health officer doesn’t seem like a great sign #cdnpoli
As Carney proves himself to be the fiscal conservative asshat we all knew him to be, just a reminder he STILL hasn't appointed a new Medical Health Officer, Tam retired in June
Quite obviously, the health of Canadians is not his top priority
