Why are you latching on to Pierre Poilievre’s propaganda. BC has telehealth. Prescriptions can be renewed through it. It would certainly be faster than taking out an ad in a newspaper. Ontario, thank goodness, has the same service considering Doug Ford’s disregard of healthcare.

CanadianPM fordnation Get off your asses and do something! Politicians should only be allowed access to a family doctor once all residents have a family doctor and should always go to the back of the line at clinics. Our family doctor problem would then be solved in months!

CTV National News: Elderly couple seek doctorAn elderly B.C. couple posts an ad in a newspaper to find a family doctor to fill prescriptions. Shannon Paterson reports. Wait for Amazon and some AI company to offer the solution. Did ppl not see the phasing out of doctors coming? More of WEF's 'useless eaters' ? (who actually perform critical HUMAN services) Terrible 55% effective income tax rate, 15% consumption tax, property tax, carbon tax and you can't get a family doctor. Thanks for the free healthcare.

Central Saanich seniors without a family doctor turn to newspaper ad to get prescriptions filledJanet and Michael Mort were driven to take out the advertisement after their “wonderful” family doctor retired in December and they were unable to get their prescriptions renewed. Horgan just increased the electric car welfare cheque by $1000, now up to $9000. He has his priorities. So if you have money to draw attention towards yourself you deserve adoctor before the other tens of thousands in region. God we need a fix for our broken health care system soon. Everyone deserves a doctor, everyone.
