Our Most Actionable Crisis: Reimagining Canadian Healthcare in a World on Edge  

The recent federal election marks a pivotal moment in Canada’s political story — one shaped by global instability, economic headwinds, and a growing demand for steady, solutions-focused leadership. Congratulations to Mark Carney and the Liberal Party on their electoral victory. Now, the real work begins. 

Canada, like much of the world, stands at a crossroads. The World Economic Forum’s Global Risk Map highlights what many of us already feel: our future is being shaped by converging crises — climate instability, migration, cyber threats, economic volatility, geopolitical tensions. Most of these challenges are complex, interdependent, and difficult to predict. 

But one stands apart. 

Healthcare is our most predictable crisis — and our greatest opportunity. 

We know our population is aging. We know the pressure on emergency rooms, long-term care beds, and frontline staff is mounting. We know the system is not designed for what’s coming — and we know it consumes a staggering portion of our resources. In Ontario, healthcare already accounts for 41% of the entire provincial budget. And despite this investment, outcomes lag, wait times grow, and burnout deepens. 

This is not just a policy challenge. It is the biggest economic lever available to us. 

Imagine if we could improve care outcomes and reduce costs. Imagine a model of care that is proactive instead of reactive, delivered at home instead of in crowded hospitals, supported by stable, full-time healthcare workers instead of fragmented gig roles. Imagine using predictive technology and AI to intervene before a crisis, rather than after. 

This isn’t a hypothetical. It’s already happening. 

We are proud to be part of this new model and category – Comprehensive Healthcare at Home – combining remote patient monitoring, AI-enabled risk prediction, and a reimagined care workforce. But this is bigger than us. This is about creating a new blueprint for Canadian healthcare — one that reduces cost, increases system resilience, and delivers better experiences and outcomes for every citizen.   

Realizing this vision, however, won’t happen through innovation alone. It will require a broad-based movement — one that transcends political cycles and partisanship, engages healthcare institutions, empowers front-line workers, and unites the public and private sectors around a shared commitment to transformation. The shift from institutional to home-centered care is not just a change in delivery — it’s a systemic redesign that must be embraced across ministries, across provinces, and across disciplines. 

In a world where most crises are hard to anticipate and even harder to solve, healthcare gives us a unique chance. It’s the one we can act on now, with clear, measurable impact — economically, socially, and sustainably. 

We believe 2025 must be the year Canada moves healthcare from the margins of the policy agenda to the centre of its nation-building strategy. Not because we can afford to — but because we can’t afford not to. 

We invite leaders, policymakers, and citizens to think differently. To move beyond short-term fixes and begin building long-term, structural solutions. The healthcare crisis is not waiting. 

But neither is the opportunity…
