It is, to my view, a better plan to try to work together federally and provincially, as elected representatives, to come up with a plan that addresses sustainability issues in healthcare.  Harper wanted to just wash his hands of the issues and be unaccountable on these points.  Trudeau et al are at least trying to identify underfunded and critical areas and direct funding to these, recognizing that mental health care and home care may not be sexy vote-winners for provincial governments, but that they are vital to health and economy.  If there's better home care, we may see less overloading of hospitals, and likewise, if there's better mental health supports, we may see fewer people hospitalized or disabled from the workforce.  All good.

There needs, too, to be a de-siloing of the environmental file so that Canada invests broadly in active transit, which would prompt much healthier commuting habits and better health overall, as well as achieving many other aims, such as reduced GHGs.
