Health Ministers from across Canada are meeting in Halifax on September 27th to discuss the future of public health care. The problem? Stephen Harper is cutting $36 Billion dollars from public health care.
It's hard to overstate the urgency at hand here. Universal, public health care in Canada is being destroyed.
Harper is refusing to meet with the provinces, and is instead trying to arrange separate agreements with each province. To protect health care, Stephen Harper needs to be brought into the same r
oom as all ten Canadian premiers to negotiate a new Health Accord.
Provinces must run a national campaign to bring Stephen Harper into a meeting with the premiers to negotiate a funding accord.
The details of this event are still in the works, but save the date: September 27th, 12-1pm, Victoria Park.
