On today’s episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice discusses the shocking state of Canada’s healthcare system. Did you know that nearly 75,000 Canadians have died while waiting for care since 2018? More than 28,000 died in 2024 alone. This is not normal. Canada needs to get serious about reforms to our healthcare system. Candice is joined by Colin Craig of SecondStreet.Org to discuss his new documentary Fixing Canada’s Health Care: Lessons from Japan. Candice and Colin discuss the major differences between our two country’s universal healthcare systems, and how Japan rewards innovation and growth while Canada punishes and restricts those things. Colin discusses new changes coming in Alberta that could make that province a leader in health reform, and they discuss how more and more Canadians want change and are open to innovations and changes to our healthcare model. Candice discusses a recent poll that showed half of young Canadians wanted more private options in our healthcare system.
