I've been watching the Lifelab in our neighbourhood deteriorate over the years. Blinds yellowing & breaking, torn & faded signs taped to the walls, grime everywhere, the staff demoralized & grumpy.

Not to mention the use of her position to run and publish studies utterly devoid of due ethical review and oversight. All the LifeLab bloods? The kids? An FOI on the cost and communications to/from the PR firm hired and the PHO would be ugly I’m sure.

Hitting a Lifelab on a weekend without an appointment is nuts. Its bad enough during the week.

Reposting and tagging @bcgeu.bsky.social, the union representing striking LifeLab workers. They need our support—but it’s more than that. This is creeping privatization of public health. More people need to write their MPs, MLAs. #KeepHealthcarePublic #HealthCareIsARight

The months-long strike at British Columbia’s LifeLabs has raised questions about foreign ownership of medical services and Canadians’ health data.
That such a large part of Canada’s health infrastructure is owned by a massive foreign company is cause for concern, notes one expert.
