Canada is a big spender on health care but we lag behind countries in results
In the end, it is not only how much or how little you spend but what you spend it on and what you get for it. Canadian health care is not bad, but it could be better, given the amount of money being spent.

Senior Edmonton Care Home Staffer Says they Won’t Properly Treat Unvaccinated Residents
David Dickson, a retired Liverpool police officer and owner of a cybersecurity firm who has been instrumental in gathering government data to show deep flaws in Alberta government and AHS practices, has been hearing reports from within Villa Caritas care home in Edmonton which he shared with TNT.
Dickson said that:
“Last week I was informed through the health care workers group I support, that a senior staff member at Villa Caritas Care Home in Edmonton stated that they would “Slow Code” any person who was unvaccinated. This statement was made to another health care worker in an area that was monitored by a camera.”
Dickson then went on to explain what a “Slow Code” is and why it is fully irresponsible to subject unvaccinated care home patients to that standard of care.

Ontario won’t issue retroactive long-term care fines over pandemic violations
Hefty new fines for Ontario long-term care providers won’t be applied retroactively for violations earlier in the pandemic when new legislation from the Progressive Conservatives takes effect, despite concerns that the worst offenders haven’t been held to account.
The Ministry of Long-Term Care said it has not issued a single fine to operators who broke the rules during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has so far killed more than 4,000 people in long-term care and infected more than 15,000 nursing home residents.
The bulk of those deaths — which make up 40 per cent of all virus deaths in the province — occurred during the first two waves of the pandemic, before most residents in long-term care could be vaccinated. Inspection reports and eyewitness accounts from homes with virus outbreaks described horrific conditions and a failure to follow measures meant to control the spread of COVID-19.
