Liberals, NDP leadership have tentative deal to support Trudeau government to 2025
- Thread starter B00Mer
- Start date
There’s going to be three years for the NDP‘s demands to get more and more outlandish and currently it looks restrained, but 1000 days from now? Time will tell.
Yes, time will tell. That's fine with me, I've always been more for factual evidence than speculation.
What factual evidence? We are BOTH speculating on the prognostication of this alliance going forward for the next three years…
And accountability, which is what the opposition in parliament is supposed to bring to the table.

That's my point, we don't know what the future holds for this. Assuming that there will be "outlandish demands" is unfounded at this stage of the game.
What;s your point ? Singh shouldn't be able to change his mind when an opportunity to further NDP goals comes up?And accountability, which is what the opposition in parliament is supposed to bring to the table.

And yes, responsible opposition in parliament is the ways things should work, but most of what the CPC does is best described as obstructionist and muckraking. I'd love to see them make a positive contirbution in parliament, but then again I'd like to win the lottery too.
The government laid off or fired twenty percent of healthcare workers for refusing the jab , smart move with worldwide shortages . The reason given for growing wait times is labour shortages . Why do you shy away from the Heath care elephant in the room , the crippling size of the administration and bureaucracy ?
Yes he can do as he wishes , but is this what his supporters want , will it backfire and cause the NDP to lose what is left of the gains made under Layton and Mulcair ? If you want liberal , that is what you get , good and hard .
Where are you getting your numbers from pgs? In BC the percentage of the healthcare workforce lost due to vax refusal ranges from one percent to under four percent, depending which health region you are looking at. Two thirds of those were casual workers, and some health authorities report more new hires than terminations.
Yes, wait times are coming as a result of staff shortages, but the staff is simply not available right now. I have read nothing that says the size of administrative staff is to blame, maybe you could supply some back-up for that as well as your "twenty percent fired" figure.
COVID-19: About 2,500 B.C. health-care workers lost jobs over refusal to vaccinate
Regardless figures lie and liars figure , if it is in legacy media there is a good chance it is towing the government line 100% . Even if it was only 2500 employees it still adds to the staffing shortages and still contributes to wait times and inefficiencies . And it still doesn’t account for the fact that our healthcare system is 99% at capacity in the best of times , as it is designed . It eats up an enormous amount of our provincial budget and a huge chunk goes to a bloated bureaucracy . Cut that by 75% and many of the health care problems could be solved .
Being a First Responder, I can give you lots of examples of bureaucratic bungling and waste and conflicting authorities. Not saying anyone is scamming the system particularly, although there is undoubtedly some of that going on, but competing bureaucracies with jurisdiction are wasteful.
Whatever happens sure as hell beats squandering over $600 million (or is it billion?) on an election to put this clown back in power!
