I think so. Going to see my GP today. Fortunately I have one. Felt guilty sitting there among people with broken bones and much worse issues than mine. I wish that the Feds could put demands on the millions of dollars sent to the provinces for healthcare.

Helping Canadian’s inflation low while keeping up pressure makes sense.

Many Canadians are struggling financially and we should not punish them further.
Carney's government isn't shouting about this move — but the sequence suggests strategy rather than retreat. By pausing tariffs in February, allowing Canadian harvests to carry households through spring and summer, then lifting them in the fall to avoid winter sticker shock, Ottawa has shown a quiet but deliberate strategy. There's also a clear inflation angle: Canada's inflation rate dropped to just 1.7% in July, largely owing to cooling gasoline prices. Removing tariffs on widely consumed goods like juice, peanut butter, and alcohol helps prevent imported price shocks from nudging that number higher - keeping everyday costs steadier for Canadian households. It's a balancing act: domestic affordability without giving up all leverage.
