Individuals across Canada are dying from toxic substances. This toxicity is a direct result of current drug prohibition policy that is based on Colonial-era legislation now understood to be racist and not based on evidence for how to manage the potential harms associated with people's use of different substances. My own son died of Fentanyl poisoning at age 21 after losing access to a safer supply and lack of effective treatment options. Safe Supply, separating people from lethally toxic illicit supply, is one part of stemming the horrific tide of death and harms from toxic drugs in Canada. On May 29 (not 31) the House of Commons will vote on an opposition motion to end all safe supply programs. We need to rally all MPs, across all parties, to not support this motion.

CONSIDÉRANT l'importance du droit à l'information régionale ; CONSIDÉRANT que la désinformation gagne partout du terrain ; CONSIDÉRANT l’annonce de l’abolition d’un poste de journaliste permanent à temps complet dans la salle de nouvelles de TVA au Saguenay – Lac-Saint-Jean le 17 février dernier ; CONSIDÉRANT qu’un journaliste en moins dans une équipe de cinq personnes dans la salle de nouvelles se traduit par 20 % de moins de contenu, de sujets originaux et régionaux dans les productions quotidiennes de la salle d’information ; CONSIDÉRANT qu’il faut assurer une information juste, vérifiée et diversifiée, et une présence régulière et quotidienne de la grande région du Saguenay – Lac-Saint-Jean sur le réseau TVA et à LCN, tout en tenant compte de l’ampleur du territoire à couvrir et de la diversité des enjeux régionaux à couvrir médiatiquement ; CONSIDÉRANT que les citoyens de la région doivent pouvoir compter sur une diversité de contenu régional et de bénéficier d’un temps d’antenne dédié aux gens de chez eux, à leurs histoires, à leurs enjeux et à leur réalité ; CONSIDÉRANT les particularités propres aux réalités locales et régionales et les appuis reçus de plusieurs acteurs politiques régionaux en ce sens ; CONSIDÉRANT que la population du Saguenay – Lac-Saint-Jean est un téléspectateur assidu de TVA et qu’elle s’attend, en retour, à obtenir une couverture médiatique en conséquence. C'est pourquoi nous demandons à Quebecor (groupe TVA) de revoir sa décision de réduire la taille de l’équipe de la salle des nouvelles de TVA Saguenay – Lac-Saint-Jean et de redonner à la région la couverture qu’elle est en droit de recevoir.

Many aspects of GLBI are not known, such as no example has been given about the Disability portion, and how the non-income tested portion will work. We're asking you Leah, to be detailed and precise for the PBO, all 3 scenarios include much higher earners with higher benefits for those with lower incomes as well, and because Canada deserves correct answers before it becomes a campaign promise again.

Hospital CEOs hold a significant amount of sway with the government — and for the most part they don't hear from the public. Right now, most hospital CEOs haven't rejected Ford's privatization plans. In fact, a couple of them have actually spoken out in support of it. But they haven't heard from the community their hospital serves.

Privatized health care means people who can pay get better service than people who can't. Private cataract-clinics, for example, offer a better choice of lenses and far shorter wait times to the lucky Ontarians who can afford them. Instead of padding the profits of their corporate buddies, the Ontario government, the OMA and the OHA should recommit themselves to the best possible fully funded public health care for all.

Hospitals are the frontline of the privatization fight, and CEOs hold a significant amount of sway with the government — and for the most part, they don't hear from the public. If we can flood hospital CEOs with a wave of public pressure from local community members — calling on them to reject Ford's privatization plans — it could be enough for them to speak out against his plans. If the CEOs say no, there will be no one to implement Ford’s privatization.

Healthcare workers were praised as heroes of the pandemic and it is time to show them exactly how much we mean those words. Everyone can find themselves in a health complication and we all age. Canadians have always been proud of our 'universal' healthcare and the less fortunate cannot afford an even more discriminatory and exclusive system. We need to hold the people truly responsible for this crisis to task and speak fervently in favor of public health for all

Hospitals are the frontline of the privatization fight, and CEOs hold a significant amount of sway with the government — and for the most part, they don't hear from the public. As public members of society, we believe a resilient, well-funded, public healthcare system is crucial to our community. Our CEO needs to hear your voice, NOW. Please sign the petition and show your support for our Public Healthcare system. Say NO to Doug Ford's privatization plans.

We as Canadians, who are fortunate to have public healthcare, will defend this element that makes our country great. The consequences of our healthcare becoming privatized are far reaching and will have a negative impact on not just low-income and marginalized people, but nearly everyone. In March, 2023, Doug Ford proposed Bill 60, on the first day of the current legislative season, after changing the rules of Legislature so that bills could pass by even faster, without the need for democratic discussion in parliament. Under Bill 60, private clinics can be established by any third party/corporation without being subject to the conflict of interest and ethics regulations of public servants and without public notice. Bill 60 essentially hands over the roles of Minister and the Cabinet to any third party/corporation that wishes to open a private clinic, overturning the long history of the Independent Health Facilities Act, which was introduced in 1990 in order to prevent privatized health care in Canada. Tell Arden Krystal, the CEO of Southlake Regional Health Centre, to push back against Ford and say a clear "NO" to private health care in Newmarket, Ontario. It is not the way forward, it is not a solution, and it is not an improvement on our current health care system.

Healthcare workers, unions and medical experts have been ringing the alarm bells for months. If hospital CEOs hear from the community they serve, we can convince them to not only reject Ford's privatization plans but to also share the solutions like repealing wage-suppression Bill 124 and increasing spending on public healthcare. A resilient, well-funded, public healthcare system is crucial to our community!
