Nanos Research survey for The Globe and Mail also found Canadians give health care system a failing mark - a 3.8 out of 10
The Prime Minister recently repeated his government’s pledge to provide additional funding to the provinces for health care, but he has not given a timeline, nor has a first ministers meeting with the provincial and territorial premiers been scheduled. Quebec is currently in the middle of a provincial election, while Alberta’s governing United Conservative Party is in the midst of selecting a new leader, who would become premier.
“What this poll suggests is that perhaps we’ve hit a tipping point, where for some Canadians – and this is a result of the pandemic – but they basically have thrown up their hands and said: ‘Enough is enough,’” said Mr. Nanos. ”We’ve been talking about health care for a generation … but it’s not getting better. Access is not getting better and there’s also a lack of trust in governments to find the solution.
Federal health care transfers increase automatically each year based on a formula tied to growth in nominal GDP. Because nominal GDP includes inflation, the current period of high inflation will automatically lead to higher than planned health transfers.
