“Countless hospitals” you say?

The best estimate of what was spent in and by all provinces and territories was $5 billion. That’s less than the current estimate to build a single hospital in SW Edmonton…

Nothing of substance from the feds. Most provinces have made very little of progress on adding beds.

This is a generational decision. The older voters decided from 2015-now that they don't value hospital beds.

I don't agree with it whatsoever, but I was in highschool when these decisions were being made. All provinces have messed this up.

Fact check:

Canada's COVID response plan was in excess of $500 billion with no infrastructure to show for it.

Just a whole lot of businesses that were kept afloat that after now paying taxes and a whole lot of Canadians who were also kept afloat that managed to pay their rent and their mortgages that are now also paying taxes. And don’t forget the avoided costs of keeping people alive and out of hospitals…

PS It would be my guess that in fact older voters typically value hospital beds and health care (including COVID testing) more than subsequent generations.

And somehow their governments have failed to deliver these beds. Priorities.

I don't recall canelling the SW hospital being part of the UCP platform. The NDP found a way to get that project going.
