My big hope for Canada is that, as we enter elections for the country and Ontario, we all remain aware that any politician who talks of “sacrifice” and “making tough choices” is *always* referring to ordinary people and not them. The rich will not be asked to sacrifice, the toughness imposed on us.

I can only hope that conservative Canadians are paying attention. This is what the Cons want. Money in their and their donors pockets at your/our expense. Vote like your life depends on it. It literally does.
Next year we (2 people) will pay $12,461.28 for health "insurance," and this amount means my insurer will pay for the bare legal minimum of preventive care; anything else we need we will pay out of pocket, until I have paid an additional $8000 for me or $16,000 for the family.

A blood test that could spot cancer early is for sale in Canada. Would you pay $2,099 for it? | CBC News
It’s an idea that thrills cancer researchers: a blood test that has the potential to screen for a sweeping number of cancers before symptoms appear.

Hinton ER won't have physician for two nights straight
The temporary disruption is due to an inability to secure physician coverage, according to Alberta Health Services. If coverage is found, the disruption will be cancelled.
