As a constitutionally provincial responsibility, provinces need to tax their own citizen for their own healthcare and stop blaming the Feds.

Provinces asking for more money from the Federal government. What a unique and newsworthy event

In Saskatchewan, people making $45,600 or less are charged 10.5% provincial tax, people making $130,500.00 or more are charged 14.5%. PremierScottMoe has some nerve asking Canada government 4 health dollars when rich in SK are getting free ride on the backs of the working poor

Pretty rich when they're doing their damndest to privatize HC. The extra $$ will be funnelled to other sectors (pockets) like O&G. They need to cover the costs of whatever they use the $ for up front and submit receipts to the Fed's to be reimbursed. They are not to be trusted.

Just a reminder that national healthcare was brought in on a 50-50 funding formula. Justin refuses to even talk about it. Why? Because there is a much bigger political splash in announcing lump sum payments which he may, or may not, ever make. He is all about buying votes.

Gfy.. publish a forensic audit of the money's you've spent then we can talk.

But you got to iterate what your health care requisites are and are going to be like you have to have the functions of your care takers kept at a clear sight point for they pretense finances that seem very high in expenditure points.

BC premier Horgan is ramming through a $800 million museum build that nobody wants then turns to the Feds for your tax $$$$ to fund health care. There is no accountability or prudence...just spend away

All the Failed Conservative Premiers beg the Feds for help in unison. It's like a celestial event, but these asshole have all got their heads up Uranus. onpoli NeverVoteConservative

Federal government needs to stop spending money on ridiculous vanity stuff and provide provinces and municipalities more of fed tax dollars as they are the ones whom provide most important services.

First stop the CONservative movement towards privatizing health care.

Why? So you could place more money in your own pockets and keep privatizing health care?

Should the BC NDPs reset their priorities, that would free up almost 1 billion dollars for doctor hiring and retention for the province. Helloooo!

The Premiers cannot be trusted to spend the money for what it is intended.

Yet they don't miss any chance to make cuts to Healthcare and give money to the private investors.

The same idiots saying that Trudeau is spending too much 🤔

Health Care was supposed to be fully funded by Lotto Canada. That is how they introduced them to Canadians! Now Administration of Lottery and Health beaurcrats is who it supports!

Just a reminder, all the money they’re talking about comes from the same taxpayers’ pockets. All they’re talking about is which level of government’s share of the total taxes is applied to health care. It’s not about funding, it’s about political optics.

Hahaha get a grip...the Feds are not ur private bank

Put as many strings on it as possible…the western premiers + Ontario…will only use it to Privatize our Healthcare FuckKenney FuckMoe FuckDougie

That's what western Premiers do. They scream for more money from one side of their mouth and scream Trudeau is spending too much money from the other side.

LOL 3PMoe wants more money for what exactly?

Citizens of Saskatchewan demand sustainable funding take priority over SaskParty’s “balanced budget” holy grail.

The taxpayer would be content with ‘targeted.’
