Canada's health system is undergoing stocktaking and adjustment. Ontario and Quebec have recently reviewed their goals and strategies; other provinces have been seeking to control established programs. ⋯ Its themes ultimately concern whether equity is compatible with innovation and choice; whether downplaying technology is harmful; and whether restrictions (e.g. on medical manpower supply) can be achieved relatively painlessly. Changing political traditions in the different provinces have an effect upon their health systems, it is concluded.
