Post on the NDP site: April 23rd, 2025 "Carney says “I fully expect we are going to exceed” $28 billion in cuts Mark Carney’s platform includes $28 billion in undefined cuts. And now he says that he expects to cut even more than that: "We have a very prudent approach to our cost reductions. I fully expect that we are going to exceed those cost reductions.” (Video) University of Alberta economist Andrew Leach criticized both parties yesterday: “whether it’s Liberal or Conservatives, you have a lot of undefined elements in a platform.” Carney has frequently talked about wanting to cut the operating budget, which he repeatedly defined as including "the transfers to provinces, health and education transfers.”" https://www.ndp.ca/news/carney-says-i-fully-expect-we-are-going-exceed-28-billion-cuts
Post by NDP: "March 6th, 2023 Trudeau Liberals vote to allow for-profit health care system, NDP blasts flip-flop OTTAWA — The Trudeau Liberals voted Monday to allow for-profit and cash-for-care corporations to take over some parts of health care in Canada — which the NDP fears will poach health care workers from the public system and lead to American-style billing. Jagmeet Singh, leader of Canada’s NDP, led the vote in the House of Commons which called on each member of parliament to decide: should health care funding be used to rebuild the understaffed public system, or to set up for-profit corporations? Singh’s motion also called on the Liberal government to ban corporations from charging Canadians for surgeries and family doctor appointments. Liberal MPs joined the Conservatives to vote no to rebuilding and protecting public health care, and no to banning billing. “No one should have to start a go-fund-me campaign to pay for surgery. No one should have to pull out their credit card to see a doctor. And no one should wait longer because a private surgical corporation bumped a paying patient to the front of the line. But that’s what’s happening. The cash-for-care system is sucking doctors and nurses away from the public health care system, and patients are either paying up, or waiting longer,” said Singh. “On Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s watch, hospitals are in crisis and the waits are excruciating. American-style corporations who want to make money off our pain are circling like vultures. I join Canadians who are shocked and frustrated at Mr. Trudeau’s flip flop. He’s siding with Doug Ford, Pierre Poilievre and the CEOs who own for-profit health corporations instead of patients and families. People will wait longer. They will get a bill.”" https://www.ndp.ca/news/trudeau-liberals-vote-allow-profit-health-care-system-ndp-blasts-flip-flop
