Dear supporters,
I want to share an honest update with you.
This campaign has now been running for over a year. When I started it, I believed we could quickly build enough momentum to bring this issue to the attention of policymakers and the public. While we have made progress and gathered support, we have not yet reached the level of traction needed to create meaningful impact.
The reality is simple: Without stronger public awareness and broader support, this issue will continue to be overlooked.
To help make the problem clearer and more accessible, I’ve put together a resource that breaks down the situation using real data:
This page compiles key statistics on Canada’s healthcare system, including physician shortages, access issues, and workforce gaps, in a way that is easy to understand and share. It provides a clearer picture of why this issue matters and why change is urgently needed.
Why This Matters
Canada’s healthcare crisis is not just about numbers. It is about people:
- Millions of Canadians without a family doctor
- Increasing wait times for emergency and specialist care
- A workforce that is stretched beyond capacity
- At the same time, there are thousands of qualified internationally trained physicians already living in Canada, unable to practice due to systemic barriers.
This is not a resource problem. This is a system problem.
What We Need From You Now
We need to restart and maintain momentum.
If you’ve already signed, thank you. Now I’m asking you to take one more step:
🔹 Share this petition with at least 5 people
🔹 Share the stats page: https://healthcarestats.ca
🔹 Help bring this issue into conversations in your network
Real change only happens when enough people start paying attention.
Final Thought
This campaign is not just about one group; it’s about improving access to healthcare for all Canadians.
We are closer than where we started, but we are not there yet.
Let’s push this forward, together.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mariano.
