Survey shows Canadians frustrated with health care, Poilievre may seize opportunity
Canadians’ relationship with the health-care system has always been fascinating to study. When elections roll around, voters tend to gravitate towards the politicians they dislike the most—federal or provincial—to explain why medical services have declined or will not improve.
Quebec residents used to be more likely to express reservations about medical services. This year, 64 per cent of Quebecers have confidence in the health-care system, tied with B.C., Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The numbers are a bit higher in Alberta and Ontario . Atlantic Canada comes in last, at a particularly low 49 per cent.
Middle aged Canadians have emerged as an important demographic, sometimes experiencing the pitfalls of health-care delivery through their young children and/or aging parents.
