Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

[Altair]

It can be both…

That being said there is a blindness within Canada to looking at our flaws for ways to improve because ‘America’ doesn’t or does do something.

Take our healthcare, lots could be greatly improved on, but many refuse to even consider the idea because ‘America doesn’t have universal healthcare’ ignoring the fact many Americans enjoy a much higher standard of healthcare than Canada (just those at the bottom have it worse).

How does one fix healthcare in Canada? There are 13 different systems at play.

Any approach taken by the federal government can rightly be challenged as encroachment on provincial jurisdiction.

For that reason alone I've given up thinking we can ever address the healthcare system in Canada.

Its a great time for federal-provincial collaboration.

Be that as it may, i dont see quebec ontario or alberta letting the feds into their sphere of responsibility.

As such, unless canadians organize into 13 separate pressure groups and direct that pressure at provincial legislatures, nothing is going to happen.

And Carney, to his credit, is focusing largely on federal jurisdiction. The sole exception to this being housing.

The whole reason we have universal healthcare is the Federal government and them saying you play ball with us or you don’t get the following funds.

Yes it is Provincially controlled and they do get the final say however the Feds can flex a ton of influence on them to get their way. The amount of money involved isn’t something a Provincial government will say no to.

A simple start would be standardizing the Provincial doctors associations and nursing associations so one who is qualified to work in one province can work in every province.

Care should also be standardized where each province provides the same treatments, there is no reason someone in Nova Scotia should die from certain cancers when Ontario would have treated them.

Tons of little things can be in play too which would add up to tons in savings long term.

For example their overtime scheduling is insane. My wife works in a hospital as a casual worker. Depending on how they choose to list the shifts someone who is full time (and would be paid overtime) would get the shift before her (even though they would be paying standard time for her). To me you should check with all your part time and casual employees before offering it to someone getting paid overtime for the shift. Thats a no brainer which can save millions over the course of a year.

Totally agree but there is a lot of turf protection in place. Simply on the basis of language, there is no way Quebec is going to accept a unilingual Anglo from another province, and a unilingual Francophone Quebecer might be qualified to work in BC but will have trouble getting a job.

Depends on the profession, and the province.

Wishing to "do a lateral" from another province , to apply to work in Ontario. The process:

If they are currently certified as a paramedic in a province other than Ontario but would like to achieve labour mobility so they may become a paramedic certified to work in Ontario, they must do the following:

Visit the Canadian Organization of Paramedic Regulators (COPR) which is an agreed upon comparator tool for use by Canadian paramedic practitioners. The tool is a guide to help you assess gaps that occur from province to province. Licensure of paramedics is the responsibility and domain of the various provincial regulatory bodies. Consult the provincial regulators for final decisions regarding practice.
Visit the Ontario Ministry of Health - Paramedic Equivalency Processto present your experience and qualifications on a case-by-case basis, to determine eligibility to challenge the AEMCA Theory Examination. The Equivalency Process for all applicants involves two phases - validation of educational and work experience, and qualifying evaluations.
Follow the Labour Mobility process as defined by the Ontario Ministry of Health if you require specific information on the Labour Mobility process).
Apply to a Paramedic Service for employment.
Upon successful employment you must become certified to perform specific Delegated Medical Acts under the license of an Ontario Base Hospital Medical Director.

If licensed as a physician in one province but working in another, who does a complainant make a complaint to (after trying to find the jurisdiction of registration)? And who investigates the complaint (along with the expense) or sits a hearing? It's the annual fees to the provincial colleges that primarily funds their activities.

My thoughts would be more along the lines of establishing a universal standard and list, along the lines of the red seal trades. It can be done, the red seal trades prove that (as trades are also provincially managed).

You could even have it set up so that when you work in another province you could be paying dues to that provinces board well working there. That would resolve any jurisdictional issues and funding problems as well as where the complaint complains.

Totally agree but there is a lot of turf protection in place. Simply on the basis of language, there is no way Quebec is going to accept a unilingual Anglo from another province, and a unilingual Francophone Quebecer might be qualified to work in BC but will have trouble getting a job.

Not saying it wouldn’t be a uphill battle. Everything in this country is due to our protectionist nature. Just saying that it isn’t a bad thing to strive for.

I can't speak for doctors - their rules are a bit tighter, but I can speak for lawyers.

Back in the 1980s there was a move to open lawyer mobility - ie the right to practice in another jurisdiction. It opened up a lot and the system was negotiated across jurisdictions by the Federation of Law Societies of Canada. For example, a lawyer from any common law province can practice in Manitoba for 100 days in the year if he can provide certain assurances including being a member in good standing of his home law society, having adequate liability and defalcation insurance, the practice is temporary in nature and no economic nexus to Manitoba is created etc. There are numerous conditions that apply but to answer your question, the Professional Code of the host jurisdiction will govern but, in general, complaints will be handled by the home jurisdiction with the consultation and cooperation of the host jurisdiction.

Quebec is an issue primarily because much of the law is civil rather than common and because of the language requirements.

Professions in general have been moving to easing age-old restrictions on trans-jurisdictional practices in temporary situations. If the mobility is more permanent then a transfer to the new jurisdiction is required. When I permanently moved from Manitoba to Ontario I transferred my practicing certificate and the process was straightforward and easy.

It always amuses me that Central Canada and the LPC don't seem to acknowledge that they are responsible for giving this monster, Alberta Separation, the reason to be more than an ignorable fringe.

Regionalism will destroy us. One Canada for all.

The great Canadian pastime. Anti-Americanism. More popular than Hockey.

The greatest gift to Carney was the American election of Trump.

Carney has the relatively easy job of blaming every ill on America, and every success as a triumph in the face of American hostility against Canada or actions abroad.

I know the end is nigh because I agree with you. Lock step, agree with you.

Ardent Canadian patriot...Wab Kinew? Huh.

First nations may have a lot of grievances against the federal and provincial governments but they are ardent supporters of confederation because every treaty right they have is with the crown, which is represented by Canada and the devolved powers within it.

Imagine the situation for first nations without treaty rights? They would be the smallest of all minorities with zero power.

So when it comes right down to it, you won't find a group more willing to fight for Canada than first nations who have the most to lose when it comes to independence movements.

I realized this morning though that the opposition is in a awkward position, we enter a technical recession, however, remember all those attacks saying the liberals (carney) was just stealing all of the CPC's policies. So by extension that would mean CPC policies would of lead to this as well. Awkward.....

Nah, the opposition just says they would do it better, with all of the benefits and none of the drawbacks.

Except Pierre says they stole the ideas and only partially implemented them (refusing to go whole hog), this was in several interviews back in early winter or so.

Bias? Im just pointing out you cant have your cake and eat it too. If you are saying the PM stole your economic policies, and then attack the PM for us being in a technical recession because of those policies. You are essentially admitting your policies didnt work. Its a catch 22 for the CPC
