Grifols buys and sells human blood plasma. When it was greenlighted to operate in Canada, donations were supposed to stay here, but apparently that is not the case. @chrishannay @HemaQuebec @FondationHemaQc @CanadasLifeline #CdnPoli theglobeandmail.com/business/econo…

"...universal high quality health care on the basis of need, not ability to pay, is a defining national value. Canadians overwhelmingly support it. Less understood are the economic benefits Canada enjoys as a result." @JimboStanford #cdnpoli @markjcarney centreforfuturework.ca/2025/06/17/the…

We are one of the richest countries in the world and there is zero to be gained by not resourcing ERs to do their job. I cannot understand why Canada just lets ERs wallow in misery. Patients say they love staff, they see them working hard and they have no idea how we can do it.

This is why we need to protect and advance Canadian universal health care. #CdnPoli

Another jaw-dropping medical bill moment: My kid had 2 days of right lower quadrant pain, possible appendicitis. ER visit (stable, no fever), 4-hour workup with labs and CT scan. All negative. The cost? A staggering $9,500🤯

We agree with our friends at @CFNU We urge @debates_can to include health care, specifically the $50 billion Cda Health Transfer and the criteria of the Cda Health Act, in the leaders debate.

A national debate that excludes health care is both unacceptable and dangerous. The CFNU is calling on @debates_can to include health care in the leaders' debate tomorrow. Add your voice, tell the Commission to put health care back on the agenda: tinyurl.com/243xndpj

The Canadian Health Coalition urges the consortium that is organizing the leader's debates to reconsider their decision to exclude health care healthcoalition.ca/health-coaliti…


Healthcare is a fundamental pier in Canada and needs to be a priority in this debate.

🔥 Call it out. Tag @Debates_Can and demand they put health care back in the debate. Canadians built this system. We won’t stand by while it’s ignored, sold off, or dismantled. #Debates2025 #cdnpoli @theJagmeetSingh @MarkJCarney @PierrePoilievre



Healthcare remains important to Canadians and should be included in any debates.

The debate consortium has cut health care from the leaders’ debate. It’s a staggering disservice to Canadians—and proof they’re out of touch. Health care is a top priority across the country. Cutting it out is indefensible. @Debates_Can #cdnpoli #Debates2025

Trump says Canada should adopt U.S.-style health care, where big insurance and pharma dominate, medical debt bankrupts families, and thousands go without care. That’s not the future we want. On April 28th, vote to protect public health care. #VoteHealthCare #Cdnpoli #Elxn45
