UAEM Handbook: 2025 Canada Federal Elections
Big things are happening in Canada this year—and we’re not just talking about your finals. The 2025 federal election is coming up, and UAEM Canada wants to make sure students are ready to show up, speak out, and push for a future where everyone has access to the medicines they need.
That’s why we put together a student-focused election guide: it breaks down what’s at stake, where the major parties stand on healthcare and medicine access, and how you can take action.
Why This Election Matters
Let’s be real: medicine in Canada isn’t as accessible or affordable as it should be. Prices are still way too high, and people are falling through the cracks—especially those in marginalized communities.
As students, we have a say in what happens next. Whether you’re studying public health, poli sci, or anything in between, your voice matters. This election is a chance to demand better healthcare policies—ones that prioritize people over profits.
What’s in the Guide?
Party Breakdown: What the major political parties are saying (or not saying) about drug pricing, research funding, and public health.
How to Get Involved: Easy ways to ask candidates questions, plan events, or get loud online.
