House Calls, #1027, August 30, 2026: Canadian health care system survey illustrates the contradictions and clear tension between diagnoses of systemic failure and preferred solutions (or non-solutions)

The majority of Canadians, according to this latest survey view our health care system to be in crisis yet offer solutions that have repeatedly failed as if expecting the same remedy will just work this time around.

There is also a tinge of hypocrisy within some of these viewpoints that I discuss in my op-ed.
