I suspect where we differ is on the meaning of the word "care".
I don't see much in the way of public advocacy for healthcare. In environmental and political movements you see Canadians giving up evenings and weekends, and donating money. People show they care by doing something.
Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, but the Canadian healthcare advocacy organizations I see (e.g. Canada Health Coalition, HealthCareCAN) seem to be mostly made up of healthcare professionals. Other orgs that seem more representative of the general population (like the Council of Canadians) mention healthcare, but it's part of a larger portfolio of concerns.
It's like healthcare professionals get what's going on, but the rest of us don't. Or if we do get it, we rarely bother to show up.
And, as the links above show, there's a growing minority of Canadians who are actively opposing public health by avoiding vaccination.
