Beware of Premiers Bearing Promises of a Quick Health Care FixWinston Churchill famously said, ‘Never let a good crisis go to waste,’ and clearly Premiers Doug Ford in Ontario and Danielle Smith in Alberta, took note. Both are seizing this crisis in our healthcare system to institute huge, ideologically motivated changes to health care delivery. They promise a quick fix, but what they really want is to privatize as much of the system as they can, ripping away at the bedrock of our public health care system. Recent polling released by the Ontario Federation of Labour showed that 60% of Ontarians oppose private health care delivery. We are seeing public health care failing across the country.
