That building on the left was the Petro-Canada office,
The Canadian owned producer that kept profits for Canadians.

Federal Conservatives sold that off, it was a money maker for Canadians

Guess who didn’t send profits out of the Country…

Petro-Canada

Thx Ab state capture

Smith also referred to Japan, in hopeful the media will drill down on that.

Japan is more nationally designed and the national gov more involved.

Canada needs a national citizens assembly on healthcare.

It’s time to review jurisdiction and more, by Canadians, not politicians that brought us here
November 27, 2025 at 2:51 PM
The gov is making changes without a proper review, or a public mandate.

Countries with more nationally designed systems outperform us - like JAPAN, where the National Government sets the care Fees Doctors charge.

People don’t pay privately to get fast specialist access, it’s fast for all
November 27, 2025 at 2:48 AM
Would love a show on the other countries that pay about the same or less and offer more.

Japan and S Korea would be at the top of my list to review in depth.

One thing is clear, Prov elections brought us to where we are.

A few quotes from Gov response to petition ⤴️
@heathermcpherson.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social

Let’s get on this for Canadians, not Premiers that come and go.

Premiers have ignored national commission after commission, reports Prov MoH’s commissioned and this is where we are..

Canadians care about single payer healthcare.

Now is the time for a national citizens assembly on healthcare

#CDNhealth #CDNmedia
e-4113 (with response)

We need a Federal Team willing to lead on healthcare.

Provinces failed, Canadians need a leader

By Smith’s rationale, a national HC system would be cost effective to get care to Canadians!

Until we talk about what Prov jurisdiction buys Canadians (not politicians) single payer won’t be safe or optimal.

Great question and couldn’t be a better time to ask it

Japan, blend of national and prefecture. Prices set nationally, insured services set nationally, medical licenses nationally.

S Korea fully National and coordinated with municipalities when needed…
November 25, 2025 at 6:58 PM
Particularly Japan?

I’ve learned a bit about their system from friends and online research.

Japan, nationally set care prices and have national health insurance for those w/o employer. Private insurance regulated well & backed by gov, no prior auths…

Many nuances. Korea also interesting

Here is some of the data on the cost for provincial run healthcare, not all the costs associated with having 13 customized health systems.

I’d say politicians are broken and use fear to prevent us from asking basic questions like, what does 13 customized systems buy us?
November 25, 2025 at 6:47 AM
Also, what countries should we compare in a National Citizens Assembly on healthcare @mark-carney.bsky.social ?

1) Jurisdiction
2) For profit Delivery Vs Non-Profit
3) Harm in Care, At Fault Vs No-Fault

4 weeks non-urgent specialists referrals in Japan, annual physicals…

We can be better
November 24, 2025 at 7:09 PM
Something like the numbered items would make me happy.

If they cannot adhere to some integrity standards they don’t deserve a pension or benefits. This has to apply after office too

Anyone who thinks it’s a problem shouldn’t be running for office.
November 23, 2025 at 9:00 PM
Get ready for stories like this one
November 20, 2025 at 4:56 PM
We should study how S Korea transformed their bed counts.

Maybe Premiers are not accountable like they claim to be
November 20, 2025 at 4:45 PM
Stelmach moving the system from regional health authorities and full sets of executives and boards was a good move.

Before Smith AB had one of the most cost effective system administrations.

Smith sounds to be making a big expensive mess. Let’s see how next few reports play out
November 20, 2025 at 1:56 PM
Japan doesn’t ban private care, but it is not sought by the public. The ultra wealthy go to a private clinic to avoid public waiting rooms, same as Canada.

The masses in Japan wait about 4 weeks for non-urgent specialist referrals.

We need to do more than support this petition, e-6818.

We have to support and volunteer time to advocacy to get direction to change.

Smith and the UCP have been hellbent on privatization.

Countries the UCP referred to have a higher overall cost per person.

Japan and S Korea are lower overall cost per person and rank higher.

Universal, no buying your way to the front.
November 19, 2025 at 11:34 PM
How many of the countries listed by the UCP w/ 2 tier are national systems??

They are not comparing apples. #cdnhealth

Evidence is clear nationalizing healthcare frees money for hands on care.
@naheednenshi.bsky.social Japan & S Korea have more beds

Canadians pay enough to have fast access to imaging, but we don’t have it.

Where does the money go? Duplicate executives and regional administrative duplication?

2 weeks for non-urgent MRI in Japan, 2 weeks
In Canada we can wait a year.
November 19, 2025 at 1:02 AM
Check out the stats on S Korea.

Took them about 10 years to amalgamate insurance into a national system.
November 18, 2025 at 9:37 PM
If enough people support changing jurisdiction there could be more stability.

Private industry wants privatization and private pay.

What do Canadian tax payers want tho?

Why won’t the media really dig in on the benefits of nationalizing?

Worked in S Korea
November 18, 2025 at 9:08 PM
I’ve been pushing for jurisdiction change and now a national citizens assembly..

This report will be of interest.

If enough Canadians want jurisdiction change it can happen.

Premiers push propaganda on jurisdiction.

Next push is for CBC to take on questioning jurisdiction for thorough journalism
November 18, 2025 at 9:01 PM
Canada had Petro-Canada.

Massive gains lost to CEO’s because the conservative gov sold it to private industry.

Industry cried and lobbied, voters got screwed.

Selling Petro-Canada was a massive screwup.
Let’s complain about taxes and healthcare money tho
