This news article from Saltwire about how Provinces used the extra Healthcare transfers from the Federal govt, this is telling and this is why people are angry, we know they are redirecting the funds to anything but healthcare, excerpt below:

/2 When the first of many multi-billion-dollar annual health transfers to the provinces was issued, it included funds recommended by the federal government to improve provincial home care services. When I and my CEO colleagues attended our regular monthly CEO meeting with
/3 the deputy minister of health at the time, we expectantly inquired when we would receive our share of funds to expand and reform our regional home care programs. The deputy minister looked at us and stated that since the federal government had not stipulated how the new
/4 money was to be spent β no strings attached β the provincial government had redirected the funds to general revenue to reduce the provincial deficit. Any chance of successful health reform and renewal was further prevented by the fact that during this post-millennium
/5 period, most provincial governments were struggling with growing deficits and public debt. Subsequently, in the hope to reduce the mounting financial dilemma, the provinces decided to dismantle the existing system of regional health authorities right across the country to
/6 try and save administrative costs.
Consequently, all of the impassioned health CEOs and their senior management staff across Canada were broken up and either reassigned or downsized, thus erasing the national strategic knowledge base needed to reform and renew
/7 our ailing universal Canadian health-care system.
Three sub-accounts
My advice to the federal government, to hold the provincial governments accountable, is to break the new Canada Health Transfers into three sub-accounts, as follows:
/8 1. A primary health-care transfer fund focused on accelerating the rollout of multi-disciplinary community clinics so that more Canadians will be able to access the right primary care clinician, (family physicians, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, nutritionists,
/9 social workers, mental health clinicians, etc.) at the right time, and in the right place when needed.
2. A home care transfer fund focused on finally expanding the scope and scale of home care services, including tele-home care to rural and remote communities.
/10 3. An urgent health-care transfer fund focused on the most pressing short-term issues of crowded emergency departments, crowded hospitals, which addresses the stress, morale and retention of the health human resource sector.
So, before the federal government issues
/11 this new round of multi-billion-dollar Canada Health Transfers to the provinces, contact your local MP and MLA and demand that all your tax dollars be allocated, with enforceable conditions, to finally reform and renew our indispensable universal health care system.
Programs/Policy that were created or set up by Stephen Harper while in power, that the CPC members blame the current govt and PM for, the hypocrisy and inaccuracy of their statements is outstanding. /1 (thread) π§΅
/2 Carbon pricing - PMJT only created the rebate to give to Canadians
When I think about our next election in Canada, what our country needs, this is how I choose democracy over darkness. I will vote ABC, anything but Conservative, why you askβ¦.well I will not vote for anyone or a party who chose to align themselves with extremists, the people/1
/2 who held our country captive by blocking our borders, roads, streets, who cost our country billions in losses because of their hate, the CPC, just egged them on, they laughed and applauded the abuse, anger, hate, the CPC did not call out any of it, they did not have any issue
/3 with the death threats made against the other members of parliament, they applauded these criminals. The CPC has lied over and over again about everything, blaming every single problem on one man. This is the biggest lie of all, that one man controls everything.
#1 He states he wants to create a smaller govt - he already has one of the largest shadow cabinets (over 51 + 20 associates) in the history of Canada - Harper's cabinet (in '14 was 39 ministers) was larger than the current Lib Feb govt (37 ministers)/1

#2 Removing the Carbon pricing will NOT create more jobs, nor will it allow businesses to bring in more employees or create stronger paycheques, the Carbon pricing is .015 %

You may or may not like what I have to say here, but it's my opinion, you can choose to make your own as well, so here goes....
PMJT has made some great policy moves over the last few years, some of them help a lot of people, now hear me out, most of these policies have not/1
/2 helped me much at all, but that is ok, I appreciate policies for those who really need it, low income, seniors, families with children, etc. These policies/social programs are doing some good, because the funding is putting money back into families pockets and they are
/3 able to take care of their children, have some extra $$ to buy things that they need...which in turn puts more into the economy. There are some policies which I don't much care for, but again, some of these policies help others, so that to me is great. He is not
