The features of Canadian healthcare vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction but all health systems face the same pan-Canadian obligations and share similar challenges that reflect regional and national realities as well as global trends and tensions (Forest and Martin, 2018). How the country's health stewards approach those challenges - whether they eschew or pursue solutions to complex, seemingly intractable problems - is critical. It can either strengthen or still the ability to adapt and address the shifting needs of current and future populations.
