Poilievre vows to scrap pharmacare if given the chance

Despite 63% of Conservative voters supporting pharmacare, poll finds



Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre has been a bit cagey about pharmacare – but not anymore. He pledged that if his party is elected, he’ll destroy the national universal plan that will provide essential medication to millions of people who need it.


“I will reject the radical plan for a ‘single-payer’ drug plan,” he said in the House of Commons during the debate on his motion that’s intended to bring down the government and force an immediate election.


Ironically, Poilievre’s attack on pharmacare flies in the face of his own voters’ support for the plan, according to a poll by Environics Research for the Canadian Health Coalition.
