Bill 11 brings two-tier, U.S.-style health care to Alberta—including higher health insurance costs & premiums.
And who stands to be hit the hardest? SENIORS.
The last thing Alberta seniors need right now is higher expenses just to maintain their prescriptions! – at Alberta, Canada

It’s time to put politics aside and unite Delta for better health care.
I have written to all provincial party leaders, demanding immediate action and clear commitments on two vital projects for our city:
1️⃣ Restarting the Beedie Long-Term Care Centre.
2️⃣ Building an urgent care centre for North Delta.
I'm calling on Provincial leaders and all local MLA candidates to stand with me and support this crucial push for accountability.
Delta can't afford to let its health care needs get left behind.

With a possible election in BC, now is a good time to remind the govt of its promise to expand public long-term care. The need is more urgent than ever, but govt deferred construction on 7 new facilities. Our new report explains why this won't save $$: centreforfuturework.ca/2026/… /2

Last month I joined @vankayak to announce a $6 million investment in funding to our partners @ParticipACTION because staying active improves health and well-being
It was a thrill, on behalf of Minister of Health @MarjoriePLC, to join Secretary of State @vankayak, and Hon. Judy Sgro to announce $6 million in continued funding to our partners @ParticipACTION that will help Canadians get active.

A warm welcome to the new doctors and nurse practitioners in Esquimalt.
BC offers something that health-care workers around the world value: a public health-care system where access to care is based on need, not ability to pay. We'll keep working to strengthen health care in BC.

Dr. Avi Kopstick left the US & chose Kelowna to continue his career in pediatric medicine. He's part of a growing healthcare workforce. 580+ US-trained health professionals have accepted jobs in BC.
Know a US-based healthcare worker? Share this story & let them know BC's hiring.

Heureusement le QC n'a pas permis aux compagnies privées comme Grifols de faire la collecte du plasma à but lucratif. Longue vie à Héma Québec et honte à la Société canadienne du sang @CanadasLifeline. #polqc #cdnpoli @HemaQuebec
Grifols keeps failing on safety. Poor screening, sanitation & reporting, ignoring risk factors for HIV & other infection—yet still allowed to profit from buying & selling Canadians' blood plasma??
No more foot-dragging. Govts & Health Canada must step in!
