StarEditorial: If provinces use new health care funding wisely, they could ensure that family doctor’s offices are open to everyone.

Imagine the frustration of being unable to find a family doctor, that trusted health professional who can offer regular access, knows your medical history and dispenses the essential care and advice so essential to good health.

And when everyone has a family doctor, the system benefits from fewer emergency room visits and hospital admissions, with a consequent decrease in health care costs. While individualized, bilateral agreements with each province must still be worked out, that money, if utilized properly, could go a long way toward ensuring that all Canadians have access to a family doctor.

With the new injection of cash, that can and should change. The college recommends primary care teams include nurses, who co-ordinate care and offer clinical support, and mental health workers, who provide psychological and addictions counselling and connect patients with social supports.

EDITORIAL: Trudeau ignores China syndromeThe report Friday that China engaged in election interference in 2021 as well as 2019 is disturbing. Why would China interfere in our 'elections'? You cant vote against the new normal, the 'opposition parties' are opposition in name only.

Globe editorial: The failures of politics, and empathy, before the Emergencies ActThe divisions that led to the Freedom Convoy and an unprecedented crackdown still linger What a load of horse hockey! Nobody wanted or needed the clownvoy! Much respect to the PM for enacting the emergency powers to rid our streets of this trash. Too bad doug ford wasn't pushed to the curb last election, for his total lack of anything. Cheers, happy family day! Absolute nonsense, partisan lies and shameful disrespect for the rule of law from the G&M. The Cons who allied themselves with the convoy of morons did this to themselves. The Nazi scum and their pals who defiled our beautiful city a year ago deseve scorn and jail, not empathy. Why do you put a picture of the ONLY a politician who did the right thing?

Editorial | Learning the lessons from the convoy protestOpinion: 'The Emergencies Act should never be imposed lightly and the threshold for its use must be the highest possible,' writes the Star Editorial Board. 'Our leaders and police must also learn from this and ensure we never get to this point again.' All that’s learned from it by them is we can do whatever we want and nothing will come of it - The police failed because many of their members put their political beliefs ahead of their sworn duties. Their leadership failed because Conservative Premiers used the Convoy to try unseat PM Trudeau. The Convoy was a right-wing conspiracy. Didnt you hear? It met the high criteria for the first usage of the emergencies act...ever

EDITORIAL: China’s interference in our elections exposedCanadians should be deeply concerned about China’s alleged attempts to influence our elections. We already knew this but the media covered it up. The headline should be a bit longer, ‘and the PM knew all about it and was ok with it’. Bought.

Globe editorial: Stand up to China, Mr. TrudeauAnything less than concrete actions will demonstrate a lack of will, bordering on acquiescence, on the part of the Trudeau government to protect the integrity of this country’s elections Stand up or step down Maybe he could stand up to China like the last guy did and sign a deal behind close doors and seal it off to the public for decades! You really think this girl/guy/abc+ without a spine is capable of standing up to anyone? Come on now…
