Centrist provincial NDP

I half hear you. The issue is the labour board called for the service to be reviewed to see if it is essential, because:

Dynacare workers perform about 40 per cent of all lab testing in Manitoba, including about half of phlebotomies (blood drawing for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes) and two-thirds of cytologies (microscopic examinations for diagnostic purposes), LaBossiere told the hearing.

I think there are times when the Labour Board should be attacked and ignored when it sides with corporations (most times really), but if Manitoba crirical healthcare falls its a real issue too. As the article points out, the real issue is the provinces depends so heavily on an American firm. That needs to be rectified.

We're too reliant on private health care, regardless of who owns it.

Everyone knows a story about a family waiting several hours in an Emergency Room waiting area or minor treatment because the only clinic in town is a privately operated one which fully books up within the first hour of every day.
