Why Canada’s Healthcare Costs So Much
Is Canada’s “free” healthcare really free — or is it just failing taxpayers?
In this episode of The Daily Canceled, we dive into a revealing and urgent discussion with Nadeem Esmail, Senior Fellow at the Fraser Institute and author of the 2025 report “The Price of Public Health Care Insurance.”
