Photo of a white poster with black lettering and the words “Smith Deliberately Ignoring Forever Canadian Four hundred and Four thousand, two hundred and ninety three signatures!” There is also the stylized red maple leaf logo used by the Forever Canadian campaigners. 404 293 represents the total certified signatures gathered during the signing period far exceeding the requirement to be tabled in the legislature and brought to a referendum. Smith tried to say the proponent pulled it from a referendum. This is a lie, she is ignoring it to let the Separatist referendum go ahead if they get the required signatures. The Forever Canadian referendum would have stopped the Separatist one from going ahead.

Photo of a poster that reads: “Recall D. Smith and J. Wright For Not Representing US, Together We Can Make a Change.” It has emojis for a hospital, school, no to coal and Canadian flags.

Dear Prime Minister Carney,
We write to you out of deep concern regarding passage of Alberta’s Health Statutes Amendment
Act, 2025 (No. 2), and the threat it poses not only to Alberta’s public health care system, but to
the integrity of Medicare across Canada.
Canadians understand that provincial health systems are under genuine strain. We all share the
goals of reducing wait times to improve access to timely care and of recruiting and retaining health
care workers. We know that protecting and improving Medicare to enable healthy populations is
a vital nation building project. However, Alberta’s Health Statutes Amendment Act, 2025 (No. 2)
risks undermining these goals.
Instead, it proposes a system where patients face financial uncertainty and where timely access to
care will inevitably depend on ability to pay. Alberta’s law abandons the foundational principles
on which Canada’s health care system has been built, as enshrined in the Canada Health Act. By
formally enabling physicians to accept both public and private payment (dual practice) and
allowing patients to be billed for medically-necessary services, this legislation enables a multi-
payer, two-tier system of care that is confusing, inefficient, unfair, and expensive.
This shift is unprecedented in Canada. Since 1984, when the Canada Health Act was passed,
Alberta, like all provinces and territories, has upheld a single-payer model grounded in equitable
access to medically necessary care based on need, not ability to pay. The Health Statutes
Amendment Act, 2025 (No. 2) represents a clear departure from that shared national commitment
and raises grave concerns about Alberta’s compliance with the Canada Health Act.

The Health Statutes Amendment Act, 2025 (No. 2) represents a clear departure from that shared national commitment and raises grave concerns about Alberta’s compliance with the Canada Health Act.

We are deeply concerned that Alberta’s Health Statutes Amendment Act, 2025 (No. 2) will:
• Undermine equity by normalizing private payment for medically necessary care,
privileging those with financial means;
• Risk contravening the Canada Health Act which exists to protect universality and
accessibility;
• Exacerbate workforce shortages in the publicly-funded system by permitting physicians
to split their practice between public pay and private pay sectors;
• Set a dangerous national precedent inviting similar legislation in other provinces thereby
weakening Medicare across the country.
Beyond its domestic impacts, Alberta’s Health Statutes Amendment Act, 2025 (No. 2) raises
uncertainty related to national treatment and market access obligations under the current CUSMA.
If Alberta’s legislation opens a pathway to private duplicative insurance (covering the same
medically necessary services as the publicly funded system) and for-profit investor-ownership of
hospitals (delivering medically necessary care), we are concerned this could lead to US health
insurance companies and hospital corporations expecting to enter Canada’s
market. Notwithstanding the protections afforded by Canada’s sectoral reservations listed in
CUSMA related to health care, if the US were denied entry to Canada’s market, we are concerned
this could expose Canada to CUSMA’s investment and services disciplines.
As Prime Minister, you have a responsibility to uphold the Canada Health Act and protect equitable
access to care for all Canadians, regardless of jurisdiction. We therefore call on your government
to:
1. Conduct a formal Canada Health Act compliance review of Alberta’s Health Statutes
Amendment Act, 2025 (No. 2);
2. Urge the Government of Alberta to pause implementation of Health Statutes
Amendment Act, 2025 (No. 2) while its impacts are assessed by Health Canada’s legal
team and independent national experts;

🚨 Today: Canadian Doctors for Medicare sent a letter to PM Carney expressing deep concern about Alberta's law allowing patients to be billed for essential health care.

This policy endangers the integrity of Medicare for everyone across Canada.

Being the victim of domestic violence is traumatic in so many ways. Not only the abuse, but the carnage that follows.

No landlord gives any sympathy and wants the damage replaced.

A storage company doesn't care about stolen keys, and the bank is apathetic to fraud. Your whole life falls apart.
