NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has taken aim at Alberta Premier Daniel Smith, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, and Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre over their stance on Canada’s healthcare system.

Singh accused these leaders of attempting to privatize Canada’s healthcare system, suggesting their actions are in line with the model seen in the United States.

He also criticized Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney, claiming that Carney's proposed cuts to the healthcare budget would worsen the state of the healthcare sector.

Singh made these remarks while addressing the Medicare Conference in Ottawa, and later expanded on his criticisms during a conversation with reporters.

Among the Liberal leadership candidates, Carney is viewed as the frontrunner to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which has made him a target of opposition leaders.
