Fiscal Update takeaway: no action on Pharmacare, no effective action on opioid overdose crisis, no national standards on long-term care, not a word on dental care. Good to see Safe LTC Fund, $ for NRC to bolster vaccine manufacturing capacity, $ for Indigenous health.
Why does this seem like business as usual for the PHSA?
QUITE the scandal.
'Insiders say the costs were racked up despite Ministry of Health orders to end discretionary spending and direct every dollar to front-line workers fighting the pandemic.

For decades, Liberal and Conservative gov'ts in Ottawa have given big breaks to the wealthiest people & corporations – & broken their promises to help everyday people. This time we can choose leaders like Jagmeet who will do things differently. #InItForYou

The update needs to be that PM Trudeau will halt all arms transfers to Saudi Arabia – full stop. We need to invest in workers in regions like Southern ON who deserve long-term, sustainable work. And Canada must stand for human rights at home & abroad.

Broadway BS-Line report raises questions. There are much better transit options to UBC, with better use of public funds, that have not been adequately considered.

Relevant to the Broadway Subway discussion. SNC and Bombardier hold critical patents for skytrain technology. No other technology can be used to extend the already existing Millenium Line to UBC.
