Wondering what the budget has to say about health/healthcare?

Carney’s first budget is asking the wrong Canadians to make sacrifices
This budget seems to have a case of mistaken identity. Instead of asking for sacrifices from those able to make them, they are leaning on individuals and sectors already struggling.

Right now, while Canadians who actually work for a living are paying taxes on 100% of their paycheck, rich Canadians who make their money via a few clicks in their brokerage account are only paying taxes on half the profits. That has to change.

We would never deny that big things are hard to do!
But the alternative is a country where working Canadians dutifully pay their taxes and the uber-rich don't.
That's just not the kind of country we want to live in, and most people agree (about 80% of them in fact)

It’s true, some wealth taxes have been tried and abandoned. Sometimes due to legitimate challenges, and sometimes due to billionaire funded lobbying and political campaigns to undermine them.

Terence actually makes this point for us not one paragraph later! But pardon us if we’re not holding our breath for the benevolence of billionaires.

That means universal requirements and standardized systems that allow governments to collect revenue predictably and fairly.
What Terence is describing is philanthropy via the CRA.
@patmillscanada.bsky.social organize to fix a broken system, not to do philanthropy.

Sending money voluntarily does not solve the problem! Taxes should require those who have profited the most from investments in education, infrastructure, healthcare, etc. to reinvest back into the economy and ensure those services stay well funded.
