ChapleauisinitiatingtheChapleauDistrict Heating Project, in partnership with Commercial BioEnergy Inc., a Northern Ontario biomass energy company dedicated to assisting communities in reducing their dependence on fossil fuels. The Chapleau District Heating Project will determine the feasibility of constructing a centralized biomass fuelled heating plant to deliver heating to potentially seven public buildings within the community This will involve converting existing heating sources from propane or electricity to biomass generated heat, using

Bignucolo added that, “the Chapleau Projectanticipatesareductioningreenhousegas emissionsofupto90%foralltargetedbuildings combined. That's huge and in addition to a significant step towards positive efforts to mitigate climate change, it provides our communitythebeginningoftrueenergysecurity andself-reliance.”

When asked about the project, Robert Manseau, President of Commercial BioEnergy Inc. stated, “We are proud to be partnering with Chapleauonthissignificantproject.Thisproject will demonstrate the viability of biomass as an alternative to fossil fuels, which is critical for rural communities like Chapleau, and remote communities; and provide support to the area's

TheChapleauDistrictHeatingProjectis currently in the feasibility phase which will determine the potential for the project's implementation in 2026. The feasibility study will include a community consultation and stakeholder engagement process, which the projectteamanticipatesbeginningsoon.

Canadians are understandably feeling a littleanxiousabouthealthcarethesedays.Thepast few years saw the Canadian health care system strain under the pressures of the Covid-19 pandemic.Doctorsandnurseswhodideverything they could to keep our system afloat were being overworkedamidthepandemic,leadingtowhatthe Canadian Medical Association referred to as “the GreatResignation.”Intheyearsthatfollowed,we allheardstoriesabout,orweresubjectto,increased wait times, ER closures, delayed surgeries, and other serious issues within an already overburdened system Most Canadians, understandably, just wanted their system to work. But a combination of exhaustion, corporate profit motives,andsomeunscrupulousprovincialleaders havebentthewordoftheCanadaHealthAccordas far they could go towards privatization. And it's goingtocostusallunlessFederalleadershipsteps uptostopit.
It's not hyperbole to say that the door has already been open for private health care companies,andwhiletherehasalwaysbeensome degreeofprivatedeliveryofpublichealthcare,it's ballooned in recent years, particularly in Conservative-run provinces This growth in private, for-profit health care services has predominantly manifested in four distinct areas: diagnostics, such as MRI, CT, and blood test clinics; private surgical clinics, where people looking for life-changing but non-essential surgeries like knee surgery can pay to not have to wait months or years; virtual care access, essentially paying fees to private health care companiessuchasMapletojumpqueueunderthe guise of redirecting patients to out-of-province doctors; and primary care clinics, who provide quick access for services for referrals and prescriptions.
In Ontario, for example, Doug Ford and HealthMinisterSylviaJoneshavemadeapointof constantlyhighlightingalloftheprivate,for-profit clinics they are funding with public money to do MRIs, hip and knee replacements, cataract surgeries, and endoscopies, among other procedures. But private companies don't do these proceduresoutofthegoodnessoftheirheart,they doittomakemoney.Andthisiswherehealthcare costs start to balloon, to the detriment of public health services. Last fall, the CBC, though an access to information request, found that the Ontario government is giving for-profit clinics far more money than public hospitals for identical surgeries. The Don Mills Surgical Unit Ltd., a
HealthCarePrivatizationisaFool'sErrand
private surgical clinic who is part of Clearpoint Health Network, which counts former PC Health Minister Christine Elliott as a board member, was charging the province $1,264 per cataract surgery, doublethecostforthesamesurgeryinpublichealth carefacilities($508)in2021.Similarly,theywere charging$4,037forakneearthroscopy,againstthe highendof$1,692apublichospitalwouldcharge. Theseclinicsarealsoluringmedicalprofessionals away from the public system with higher salaries. Thisgoestoprovethefactthatourcurrentmedical professionals are being underpaid and should be compensated fairly in order to ensure our health caresystemcanbestrengthened.
It'snotaboutthenickelsanddimes,though. It'saboutthepushtoadministerpublichealthcare through private clinics to starve an ailing public systemtothepointwhereitbreaks.Alberta'sUCP governmenthasbeenworkingtooffloadhospitals to Covenant Health, a Catholic health care provider, as they try to dismantle Alberta Health
Services.BCConservativeleaderJohnRustadhas promised a hybrid public-private health care system earlier this summer, and then proposed spending $3.2 billion less on health care than the currentbudgethasallocatedthisyear
It's incumbent on federal leadership to ensure that the provinces are spending federal dollars allocated to them through the Canada HealthAccordforpublichealthcare,butthat'snot what's happening. In fact, when NDP MP Gord JohnsrecentlywhenNDPMPGordJohnsrecently asked the Health committee to call on for-profit health care providers to testify at the committee, and that it undertake a study on the role of the private sector in Canada's public health care system, Conservative and Liberal MPs on the Committeevotedagainstit.

Laprivatisationdessoinsdesantéestinsensée
Il est compréhensible que les Canadiens se sentent un peu inquiets au sujet des soins de santé ces jours-ci. Ces dernières années, le système de santé canadien a été mis à rude épreuve par la pandémie de la COVID-19. Les médecinsetlepersonnelinfirmierquiontfaittout cequ'ilspouvaientpourmaintenirnotresystème à flot ont été surchargés de travail pendant la pandémie,cequiaconduitàcequel'Association médicale canadienne a appelé la « grande démission».Danslesannéesquiontsuivi,nous avons tous entendu parler de l'augmentation des tempsd'attente,delafermeturedesurgences,du retard des opérations chirurgicales et d'autres problèmes graves au sein d'un système déjà surchargé. La plupart des Canadiens, et c'est compréhensible, voulaient simplement que leur système fonctionne Mais l'épuisement, la rechercheduprofitparlesentreprisesetl'absence de scrupules de certains dirigeants provinciaux ont permis une interprétation de l'Accord sur la santé canadien faisant pencher la balance en faveurdelaprivatisation.Etcelavanouscoûter cheràtous,àmoinsquelegouvernementfédéral neprennedesmesurespourymettreunterme. Iln'estpasexagérédedirequelaportea déjàétéouverteauxentreprisesprivéesdesoins desanté,etbienqu'ilyaittoujourseuuncertain degré de prestation privée de soins de santé publics, elle a explosé ces dernières années, en particulier dans les provinces dirigées par les conservateurs. Cette croissance des services de santé privés à but lucratif s'est principalement manifestée dans quatre domaines distincts : les diagnostics,telsquelescliniquesd'imageriepar résonance magnétique (IRM), de tomodensitométrie et d'analyses sanguines; les
cliniques chirurgicales privées, où les personnes souhaitant subir des interventions chirurgicales qui changent leur vie, mais ne sont pas essentielles, comme une opération du genou, peuvent payer pour ne pas avoir à attendre des moisoudesannées;l'accèsauxsoinsvirtuels,qui consiste essentiellement à payer des frais à des entreprises privées de soins de santé comme Maplepouréviterlesfilesd'attentesousprétexte de rediriger les patients vers des médecins en dehors de la province; et les cliniques de soins primaires, qui offrent un accès rapide aux services pour les clients recommandés et les ordonnances.
EnOntario,parexemple,DougFordetla ministre de la Santé Sylvia Jones ont constammentmisl'accentsurtouteslescliniques privées à but lucratif qu'ils financent avec des fonds publics pour effectuer des IRM, des remplacements de la hanche et du genou, des opérations de la cataracte et des endoscopies, entre autres procédures Mais les entreprises privéesnepratiquentpascesprocéduresparpure bontéd'âme,elleslefontpourgagnerdel'argent. Et c'est là que les coûts des soins de santé commencent à exploser, au détriment des services publics de soins de santé. À l'automne dernier, la CBC a découvert, grâce à une demande d'accès à l'information, que le gouvernement de l'Ontario accordait aux cliniques à but lucratif beaucoup plus d'argent qu'aux hôpitaux publics pour des opérations chirurgicales identiques.
