For the second time in as many months, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has surprised me on the national health-care file, and in a positive way. The health-care system has been well-established as a sacred cow in Canadian politics. Many politicians will decry the state of health care in the nation, but few will dare to muse about changing the system itself. Trudeau hasn’t exactly been an advocate for systemic health-care reform, yet he has been signalling that he is receptive to supporting it.
