The science has changed !

It's not as if the Alberta premier would be political with covid and vaccines? Naw that would never happen!

The pandemic has been more or less over for several months. Covid is endemic and much less of a threat now that most of the population has lots of immunity.

Hmmm, any chance you read the article? Why did Bonnie Henry suddenly remove the vaccine mandate for health workers? Only province in Canada that still had one!!

and also people are dying in ER waiting rooms waiting hours for care , due to shortage of healthcare workers , even though aggy tells us everyone gets looked after in canada

Yes because the Provinces are underfunding healthcare and healthcare education on purpose.

Lower taxes and resource royalties are more important for their business friends!

And only a very small number of healthcare workers refused the vaccines.

If you want a job in healthcare you are supposed to follow the employers work requirements regardless of whether you disagree with them.

So you think workers can do as they please when it comes to health and safety in a hospital?

How much funding would be enough for healthcare?

What percent of GDP?

Do you think 100% of GDP would be enough to meet demand when the cost to consumers is free?

To tie this in with the other thread well you are embarrassing yourself with trying to discuss economics.

Do you think there will be more money to spend on health Care if a country is running a trade deficit or a trade surplus? What proportion of healthcare dollars require imports? Most of the pharmaceuticals. Most of the medical equipment. Maintenance and upkeep and subscriptions on medical equipment and programs. All of the computer programs and systems. With a trade deficit which you seem to be promoting, Where does the currency come from to import these goods and services to support the healthcare system?

They all would done things differently, because they are so brilliant. None of them had the responsibility of making life and death decisions. Very easy to criticize when you don't have to make decisions.

so do you think it made since to fire fully trained experienced health care workers in the middle of a huge health crisis ? as we were told it was , because they would not take a jab that was not even tested to stop transmission ??

You do realize we are discussing British Columbia!? Where do lower taxes and royalties enter the narrative in an NDP run BC government?!

so 2,500 is a very small number for one province ?and by the way you follow the rules on the contract that you sign when you accept job , not rules that are added later

[cropgrower]

Interesting numbers from 2021 , hospital beds per 1000 people per country , Canada where everybody gets looked after according to aggy is a long way down the list at 2.58 , likely lower now with population surging higher

Been on my American odyssey and for how awful and expensive their healthcare is compared to our universal Medicare gosh hospitals seem to be well staffed, in good repair, and well serviced. Wyoming with half the population of Saskatchewan appears to have more medical services. I wonder why Chuck?

I still believe in a universal system but Christ what we got going on is a wretched joke. When the guys in the white suits in the station wagon come to take you away to the hospital by the river you will understand.
