Alberta’s attack on public healthcare is a threat to public healthcare everywhere.
Danielle Smith’s United Conservative Party (UCP) government is driving forward with a radical plan to create a parallel, private healthcare system along U.S. lines – an unprecedented attack on the principles of public healthcare enshrined in the Canada Health Act. So far, however, the federal health Minister Marjorie Michel has been totally silent.
The Council of Canadians and the Canadian Health Coalition are teaming up to host a webinar about the dangers that Bill 11 poses to public healthcare in Alberta and across the country, featuring health policy expert Andrew Longhurst and Friends of Medicare (Alberta) executive director Chris Gallaway.
This webinar will build support for a Day of Action for Public Health Care on March 16, 2026, coordinated by health coalitions across Canada. In-person demonstrations will be held in communities from coast to coast urging the federal government to enforce the Canada Health Act.
