NOT WHAT WE VOTED FOR
Prime Minister Mark Carney states that “many of our former strengths, based on ties to America, have become our weaknesses…weaknesses that we must correct.” So, instead his plan is to forge a trade relationship with corrupt communist China as well as Europe, which is broken and irrelevant after years of failed socialism and open borders. I thought he was voted in because he proclaimed to be the only one who could negotiate with President Donald Trump. Instead, he plans to jeopardize our relationship with our American friends, who buy most of our exports, because he doesn’t have the tenacity to do what he promised to do, if elected. How do we get rid of this phony guy?

ESSENTIAL CARE
As a volunteer at a local food bank and in hospital settings, and as someone pursuing a future in health care, I have seen how access to basic needs and essential care shapes health outcomes, an issue that remains even more urgent globally. In many low-resource settings, community health workers are the backbone of primary health-care systems. They deliver routine immunizations, support maternal and child health, and serve as the first line of defence against disease outbreaks. Yet today, progress in global health is under threat, as funding disruptions leave many frontline workers without the support needed to continue their life-saving work. Investing in primary health care and immunization is one of the most effective ways to improve health outcomes worldwide. For every dollar invested in community health systems, there can be up to a tenfold return, strengthening health systems and preventing avoidable deaths. Canada has both the capacity and responsibility to lead. By committing $340 million over the next five years to the Global Financing Facility, Canada can help ensure that vulnerable populations continue to receive essential care.
