No one who is STILL on a waiting list for a family doctor, etc. is surprised to read this...

This is why health transfers require confirmation and enforcement/fulfillment of healthcare spending by premiers.

PREMIERS ARE NOT SPENDING THE BILLIONS AND WHINING FOR EVEN MORE BILLIONS THEY REFUSE TO SPEND ON HEALTHCARE.

Continued thread

To be clear: there is a valid reason provinces don’t get to control these appointments.

They are a check against abuse of power, despite their unwillingness to use the reserve powers they’re given.

That was the deal that got the provinces the not-withstanding clause.

Is #Quebec willing to give that up?

The #Quebec govt could easily free up $3.75M to sweeten the deal with striking workers by simply rolling back their absurd 30% raise they gave themselves (on a base salary that already exceeded $100k/year).

Again: it’s hard to emphasize enough how irregular and shady it is for a sitting legislature to grant itself a raise that immediately takes effect.

It’s just not something that happens in real democracies.
