The Liberals have a clear policy roadmap for pharmacare sitting on their desks since 2019 - the Hoskins report - that calls for universal coverage for essential meds as a first step.
That would cost just $3.5B/yr, less than 0.8% of the fed budget.

Health care is a common good matter. It's in the interest of all Canadiaans to have universal, single payer pharna care. Keep the profit makers out of health care.
"As the Liberals prepare to scrap universal pharmacare, don’t be fooled into believing it’s because we can’t afford it," @LindaMcQuaig writes.
"The real reason is that Trudeau doesn’t have the backbone to take on powerful [pharma & insurance] industries."

What could go wrong with sending massive machines to scrape away seabed? Other than dead marine life, destroyed ecosystems, and poisoned water, that is. Join urgent campaign to stop deep-sea mining! Extraction insanity!! #StopDeepSeaMining#DefendTheDeep https://t.co/vJgtlTuh7u

❗️@JustinTrudeau urges Israel to show “maximum restraint” in Gaza, and says “the killing of women and children … of babies … has to stop.” But he STILL refuses to withdraw Canada’s support for Israel’s murderous war! If he wants the killing to stop, demand a #CeasefireNow!
Israeli settlers are brutally attacking Palestinian homes in the village of Burin, Nablus district now.
Illegal settlers also set Palestinian olive trees on fire.
The attacks are being carried out under the protection of the Israeli army.

“If the money stayed in corporations and they invested in new enterprises that would be one thing, but the money typically goes to rich people. Not taxing multinational corporations has provided a flow of wealth to a few people" https://t.co/SA15gKbxdL
