The Research

Our Broader Stance on:

Undoubtedly a mark of pride for most Canadians is our globally-respected healthcare system. Every Canadian who has needed our healthcare system in recent years knows that despite how great it is to not worry about bankruptcy from medical bills, it still needs much more investment in additional staff and facilities, as well as updated technology.

As importantly, there are a number of unacceptable gaps in the provincial application of healthcare which fail to meet all necessities of human life. The Manifesto of Human Needs declares that all aspects of physical, mental, and emotional care are human rights; this means we believe that pharmacare, oral/dental healthcare, hearing care, vision care, and mental healthcare must be no-cost services at point-of-care to every Canadian, regardless of their employment status.
