Sign A Petition (Included Below) To Demand The Federal Government Enforce The Canada Health Act In Ontario
A Call-Out To All of Us from the Ontario Health Coalition, a not-for-profit citizens organization dedicated to protecting and preserving quality public health care across the province
Posted November 10th, 2025 on Niagara At Large
We have more than 5000 signatures now on our petition to the federal government, demanding that they enforce the Canada Health Act in Ontario where the Ford government is violating it with their private clinics. In the for-profit clinics, elderly patients are routinely charged thousands of dollars when they go in for cataract surgeries.
The Canada Health Act bans user fees and extra-billing, but it only works if we demand that the federal government enforces it so that provinces that violate the bans are shamed into coming back into compliance.
Our goal is to reach 10,000 signatures this week, then double that again next week. We have less than three months to get hundreds of thousands of signatures to make this effort matter. Please sign and share the petition as widely as possible.
