A national dental care program was one of the keystones of the now-ended supply-and-confidence agreement between the Liberals and NDP, inked in 2022. It involves plans to roll out coverage especially for children, seniors, and low-income Canadians, and with remaining eligible Canadians slated to gain access in 2025.
When pressed by Kapelos on the statistic that nearly 650,000 Canadians have already accessed care, Scheer again would not directly say whether his party would scrap the program, if elected.
The Cons want to accelerate inequity among Canadians in health, wealth, and everything else. That’s a huge problem. I think it’s safe to say Canadians are sick of Justin Trudeau and his out of touch with everyday Canadians approach. His ego is going to keep him on the election ballot and the only question about the government that forms will be Conservative minority or majority. I feel like we’re all hostage to Justin Trudeau’s ego right now. Looking south of the border, Biden and camp waited until the decision was made for them. I don’t see the same forces converging in JT’s case. I think things are going to have to get very very loud for JT to wake up to do the right thing. I don’t know how helpful the mainstream media will be in acknowledging popular interest in left-of-centre politics yet staunch opposition to JT at this point
I think even that claim is about 70% conservative talking points.
Most people are ambivalent about the prime minister (or premier for that matter)
And for people who don’t spend much time discussing or thinking about politics, all it can take is to hear a couple of voices talking vaguely about “that politician’s scandals” to nudge them towards a negative opinion.
Polls show liberals tracking behind conservatives by 20 points back in July. Even if this figure is exaggerated, when you include the loss of that so called “safe” seat in June, the trend is only worsening, and everybody but Trudeau can read the writing on the wall.
Dont dismiss this as “fake news” unless you want a conservative majority next election.
