Break out of the silo mentality and negotiate like you mean it.
Provinces should notify the feds that their 500k new immigrants per year will not be eligible for provincial health cards, due to lack of capacity. Trudeau is playing both sides — breaking the system while withholding return of our $$. @PremierScottMoe @ABDanielleSmith https://t.co/Y4mS4euxXw

btw, here’s a link to our euthanasia program….your government is here to help in these most important ways, because we care.
The Death Care Pamphlets should be handed out to every new Immigrant. But no Provincial Health Care. It is the same with Canada’s Educate the World program. Our Universities have become Liberal Puppy Mills and a vast make work project for Liberal Socialist’s. Look at the drain of tax dollars for Federal Education. Another Provincial Jurisdiction taken over by the Feds through the corruption of the Federal Spending Powers.
5-700,000 Foreign students admitted every year. All given free healthcare and many welfare benefits, and then the vast majority never go home.
This number of student immigrants should be deducted from those Trudeau wants to let in.
NO MORE UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE FOR NON CITIZENS
We need strong Premiers

This is ALL coordinated and centrally managed and funded. The question is ‘by whom’?
Not whom but what , Satan.
Ever since Blackie took office, he has been sticking his nose into matters of provincial responsibility.
Except for K-bec!
They could bring in a kick a puppy law there and the Putz from Papineau wouldn’t say jacques merde.
Every couple of years the provinces come back for more federal money but with no strings attached. That is the problem. Canada’s provincially led health system resembles an inverted pyramid. It is broken. For every front line worker there are 10 administrative staff. It is unsustainable and inefficient.
One way to lessen emergency room backlogs is to charge a visiting fee or user fee of say 35$. They do that in Europe. The number of visits to emerg would plummet, especially in big centres such as Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.
jaymo:
That has been my view for decades. Even small user fees discourage frivolous visits. “I’ve got the sniffles …. better go to see the doc … oh yeah, $35 …. for what? … to be told to drink plenty of liquids and get plenty of bed rest”? Nah.
Analogy:
Grocery carts left by your car can cause damage to other cars and waste staff time to retrieve. Charge a $1 coin to use a grocery cart outside; refund it upon return. Nearly everybody does. Problem 95% resolved.
I agree but the problem with that is that you know there will be exceptions for low income, seniors, immigrants etc, so the frequent flyers of the system now will still be clogging up the ER’s – the druggies, homeless, mentally ill, newcomers with no doctor. The only schmucks that will pay will be the already hardworking, taxpaying shmoe who then has to pay twice – through a co-pay AND through taxes.
Just quit handing out free healthcare to non citizens. Very simple.
Also quit paying them pensions after 3 years in the country.
Another thing that would work would be to keep medical professionals in the country so that people would have regular physicians.
But Canada does not reward hard work or excellence. The US does.
How many strings from the federal government will reduce the number of bureaucrats involved in delivering “health care”?
Since health care is a provincial responsibility, the straightjacket of the federal Canada Health Act should be declared unconstitutional, otherwise the fee for service is a non-starter
I agree, it is clearly a provincial responsibility. If other provinces are so irresponsible that they refuse to balance their budgets, that isn’t Alberta’s problem. So, along with opting out of the Canada Health Act (Notwithstanding Trudeau’s opinion), we need to opt out of the transfer payments program which funds it.
It is much more than just a provincial “responsibility”, it is an exclusive power of the provincial legislatures:
“The Establishment, Maintenance, and Management of Hospitals, Asylums, Charities, and Eleemosynary Institutions in and for the Province, other than Marine Hospitals.”
Canada’s Only Blackface Prime Minister – who is constitutionally illiterate – should stick to his own Federal powers.
By the way, there is no “transfer payments program” to opt out of. It’s funded through Federal taxation, which is a power our Dear Leader in Blackface does have.
Millions of Canadians have no family doc. They get (feel) sick and they go to emerg. Mom’s can’t get childrens Tylenol – they go to emerg, cuz they have it, and their kid is sick. You gonna charge them $35?
I’m all for reforming the system. I agree with accountability. I’m good with user fees and or a deductible but I am not prepared to give the health care system a dime without a major overhaul. Our politicians need to grow up and make a legitimate effort at fixing health care.
To date, only the premier of Quebec has had the courage to go public and say that the level of immigration to his province is too high. The Dear Leader and the legacy media barely criticized him, if at all. But let the premier of Ontario or Alberta say the same thing, and they will be pursued by a braying mob, led by the CBC and the Toronto Star, shouting that they are racist. Mobs of leftists and immigrants will march on their legislatures demanding their resignations. That’s why it won’t happen, despite the fact that the criticisms would be completely accurate and rational.
It took no courage for the premier of Quebec to complain about excessive immigration.
It’s because the Presstitutes are loyal to the Lieberals and Dippers or whoever is in charge of Quebec.
That frenchie Premier should put the money where his mouth is and shut down Roxham Road If he really means business.
Till then he is just flapping his gums, do or get off the crapper.
It’s not courage. It’s privilege.
Legault is reminding the f@g that Quebec is special and does not have to scrape by as the “lesser” provinces do.
Courage was definitely the wrong word to use in my comment. I accept all of your comments and agree that when it come to Quebec, the Dear Leader and the legacy media will let the province do anything it wants without criticism.
Your comments reminded me of the hyperventilating outrage in the legacy media and in Quebec several years ago when Macleans published an article saying that Quebec is the most corrupt province. This is a link to the Macleans’ article:

Spot on Kate.
Yes, we bring in people who aren’t yet citizens and who don’t pay taxes (or speak either official language – chiefly English but you get the point). They ‘qualify’ instantly for radical radiation cancer therapy treatment for advanced head and neck cancer…they and their family before them have not paid “their fair share” (read – fecking ludicrous taxes) into the system yet they can use it carte blanche.
Seems fair, no?!?
If we’re now killing native born Canadians, why are we bringing in sick new ones? Anyone ever ask that question?
Giving government what it wants won’t improve services and the only solution is to put conditions on collecting taxes.
“But Ottawa insists it won’t offer up any cash until the provinces agree to meet certain conditions — such as increasing access to family health services.”
I’m assuming that he means expanding access to be able to kill their unborn children?
Killing them at both ends of the age spectrum.
That’s the Trudeau way!
Free The West!
“The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he’s in prison.” —Fyodor Dostoevsky
It’s the same with housing.
But both are made-on-purpose crises.
The Liberals are never faulted for making the problem as they say things like, “Imagine how worse it would be if the Cons were in power.”
And Commie Canadians go “Yeah gee I guess so eh.”
Better still, Moe and Smith should announce the formation of provincial militias with all volunteers exempt from all federal gun legislation.
Forcing other people to pay for their ideological virtue signals is what progressives do.
The Turd wants the world to see that he’s doing the most to fight climate change so he anchors his nation with a constantly increasing taxes and punishes the productive with new and ever more onerous regulations and restrictions.
The Turd wanted the world to see him as a saviour so he sent China all of our medical supplies that are rated for viruses like corona leaving our front line workers with nothing at the start of the pandemic.
The Turd wants the world to see that he is generous and kind so he sends billions of dollars to every third world sh*thole for the stupidest of reasons like abortion and such and then tells veterans thanks for your service, sorry that you’re having a tough time coping with what we made you see and do, here’s your suicide shot so that should cover any responsibility that we may have.
This will never change until we change it.
It is why God put Romanians on this earth:
https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/romanian-revolution-pictures-1989/
Then there is a little bit of hope.
“According to the 2021 Census, there were 215,885 Canadian residents declaring themselves of Romanian origin; Romanian was the mother tongue of 93,160 of Canadian residents. There were 86,770 Canadian residents who were born in Romania.
Immigration from Romania reached a high in the early 2000s. Figures from Citizenship and Immigration Canada show that the annual number of new permanent residents from Romania increased from an average of over 3,700 per year in the late 1990s to an average of over 5,500 per year since 2001, peaking in 2004 at 5,658. After 2004, the immigration from Romania constantly decreased.”

Good Link…very VERY interesting READ. …including some of the comments.
OttawaMJ, then we have a chance.
Steakman, AND HOW!
People who grew up under communism know.
They also know how to stop it , dead in its tracks.
The feds (as in the U.S.) are collecting far more in taxes than they should. And it is deliberate to strengthen the central government over the rights of the provinces/states. It is essentially blackmail. It is happening in democracies around the world because it is easier to control a few central governments than many sub-national governments. It is truly time for the provinces to play REAL hardball with the central fascists.
If the provinces had any intestinal fortitude, they would cut the f@g off.
No oil, no wheat, no anything.
He is blackmailing everyone and whoever supports it needs a good throat-punching.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
I’m constantly amazed at the number of common sense solutions that are proposed by commentators here. A couple of examples:
-no abortion on demand unless there are extenuating circumstances
-no foreign aid authorized solely by the federal government
-provincial guard with certain provisions
-no automatic healthcare for people staying in Canada
-serious limit on immigration
These are only a start but at least they should be addressed as part and parcel of the next election. Some will address this as having no compassion however compassion eventually has a price and that price is now beyond the ability of most Canadians.
– no foreign aid until the debt sits at zero and the budget is balanced.
– no corporate welfare, time for companies like Bombardier to sink or swim on their own.
– reduce politicians and bureaucrats salaries to the national private sector average, they only get a
raise when everyone else does.
– demote immigration from its own ministerial position and put it back into Manpower Canada and tie
it to what skills the nation needs.
How be the federal government starts getting a say when they stop violating the Canada Health Act re: 50/50 funding formula.
That’s one way to implement a Chinese One Child Policy. The vaccines take care of the one.
Quebec has a tried and true method to screw federal taxpayers that the other provinces should follow. First, the province demands that it be given the right to manage its affairs in the same areas that Quebec does (e.g., immigration, employment insurance). Second step, the province demands that federal taxpayers give the province the money required to manage the program, just like Quebec receives. Third step, the province hires its own bureaucrats to manage the program. The plus side: more provincial independence. The down side: probably more bureaucrats in the country.
