The Daily Canceled with Mike Wixson

About

Is Canada’s “free” healthcare really free — or is it just failing taxpayers? In this episode of The Daily Canceled, we dive into a revealing and urgent discussion with Nadeem Esmail, Senior Fellow at the Fraser Institute and author of the 2025 report “The Price of Public Health Care Insurance.”

We cover:


• The true annual cost of public healthcare per Canadian family


• Why over 1 million Canadians walked out of ERs last year
