During his hospital stay, the Quebec man developed a major pressure sore on his buttocks. In late March, he received medical assistance in dying to put an end to his suffering.
No there isn’t. Gov’ts (both fed and prov) have consistently underfunded healthcare. Trudeau did try and help by giving billions to the provinces - tied to the provinces agreeing to spend ALL the money on healthcare - but the premiers stonewalled Trudeau and he caved. So provincial leaders get to spend those billions on whatever they want, just like the spoiled, snotty-nosed brats they’ve become.
Yes there is and I will not argue about it. You are free to look up the exact amount of money that is paid out by the Feds to the provinces in health transfers, and free to see exactly where every cent goes. You are also free to look at provincial budgets and do the same.
We have billions going to healthcare, and management of that money is the problem. Stop being willfully ignorant to that and maybe we can start trimming the ridiculous amount of bloat that the healthcare system has in middle and upper management positions.
Every time funding is increased those positions take most of it. So keep crying “More funding!” because that is what “they” like to hear. Gives “them” an excuse to create new jobs for their friends that serve no purpose and add no value to the system so “they” can claim it is too expensive to run and gut it for the sake of privatization. Which only involves removing Doctor, Nursing, and Auxiliary positions until the system collapses to ensure their friends positions are safe until the bitter end.

To address this specifically, thank you for supporting my point that it is not about funding and all about money management. You made it very clear what the problem is and I find it funny that you think you disagree with what I said in your comment.
I’m curious, do you work in healthcare? Healthcare adjacent? Where did you acquire your expertise on the funding and operations of healthcare?
I worked in healthcare at one of Canada’s largest hospitals - in finance. The pay is below average, even in upper management. Right sizing salaries to industry standards has forever been pushed back because there isn’t money for it. There are structural funding deficits. Models haven’t been revisited in 15, 20 plus years. Every year there are austerity measures taken - services cut or capital spend deferred.
Even with an external financial review of the hospital operations and finances, run in conjunction with the Ministry Of Health, it was found that it couldn’t get much more efficient - that additional funding was needed to cover the gap.

Appeal to authority to someone else. I am making a habit of avoiding speaking to people who open their comments with logical fallacy. Feel free to try again because I stopped reading here.

But of course there is no funding forthcoming.
