Canada@lemmy.ca•The percentage of canadians who have signed up for dentalcare by province/territoryEnglish
4·11 hours ago9m people eligible in 2025 in the original doc
If that’s true then the maximum would be be 21.76% of the population covered by the plan. We’re currently 8.36% away from that goal.
However our taxes are going to Sun Life Financial who is currently lobbying against pharmacare.

Canada@lemmy.ca•‘Extremely offensive’: B.C. premier’s plans to change Indigenous Rights law met with frustrationEnglish
6·2 days agoAlexander believes the premier’s plan could have the opposite effect, potentially triggering more court cases from First Nations and thereby creating more uncertainty for resource extraction and other industries in the long run, while also damaging the province’s relationship with First Nations.
“People have very fragile trust in the government of the day, but when they so intentionally change legislation to ensure that there’s no objective party reviewing how they perform reconciliation, it seems very insidious.”
This year, B.C. passed legislation to fast-track the North Coast transmission line, renewable energy projects and yet-to-be-defined “provincially significant projects.” The B.C. government admitted it had not fulfilled its consultation obligations before introducing the legislation, which many First Nations forcefully criticized.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Here We Go Again: Internet Age Verification and Website Blocking Bill Reintroduced in the Senate (With Some Changes)English
21·5 days agoOnce captured by the law – sites that deliberately transmit pornographic materials to minors and do not use government-approved age verification or age estimation technologies – the enforcement side kicks in. The enforcement of the bill is left to the designated regulatory agency, which can issue notifications of violations to websites and services. Those notices can include the steps the agency wants followed to bring the site into compliance. This literally means the government via its regulatory agency will dictate to sites how they must interact with users to ensure no underage access. If the site fails to act as instructed within 20 days, the regulator can apply for a court order mandating that Canadian ISPs block the site from their subscribers. The regulator would be required to identify which ISPs are subject to the blocking order.
Bill S-209 is better than its predecessor as it seeks to exclude search and other incidental distribution, adopts a new standalone definition for pornographic materials, and sets a higher bar for the technology itself. Yet many concerns remain: the bill still envisions court ordered website blocking, including blocking access to lawful content by those entitled to access it. In fact, the bill expressly states that the effect of the blocking may “have the effect of preventing persons in Canada from being able to access material other than pornographic material made available by the organization.” Orders that knowingly block lawful content is certain to raise Charter of Rights challenges.
























That’s pretty unfair!
Consider writing to your local mp demanding that your tax dollars be used to expand dentalcare.
