NDP - Small C conservative - centre politic - Liberal
Liberals - Big C Conservative - More than slight right center
Conservative- Corporate Despots marching in Jack boots. ExtremeR
As far as the Gomeray inquiry goes, this crew are the ones who blew the whisle.
Goodale hasle on leaks - Politcial crap laid on by the NDP
I say forget about this stuff; look to the future. The conservatives plan on turning all your health care over to private insurance companies to operate. This is going to cost each and every person 5000.00 a year before the next term of Government is out!
Taking his que from Klein in Alberta whom Harper sees as a winner when no one else does, plans on following his act.
Putting conservatives into office now just plainly scares the crap out of me! They are so dam extreme!

Jersay said:True you have a good point. But that does defeat the point that both the Liberals and the Conservatives have bigots, and racists or whatever you would like to call these people within their ranks.
You could make the claim with the former GG running for the NDP that he is against same-sex, but his last comments were in the 1960s, 70s.
But, it does seem that recently the ugly head of whatever you like to calls these attacks, is from the Liberal point of view. I watched Global National today, and they had nothing on it.
Crap. This is the same Klein in Alberta who, through innovation has reduced wait times on joint replacement surgeries by a ton. And yes, this uses private care, but the point is, that the lines have been shortened, from 47 weeks to 4.7 weeks. Sorry if that offends the left, but I bet the ones getting their surgeries done so quick,AT NO COST, don't really give a rats ass. So you want to bash Klein, go ahead, but as my mom-in-law, who is getting replacement knee surgery next month says, "If the pain stops quicker and costs me nothing, why would I care?" Indeed, why would anyone care. And my mom-in law could not be classified as rich by anyones standards. Her and dad-in-law are both retired, on fixed pension incomes, no investments, etc.

So long as the Canada Health Act is protected, and Canadians don't see a directly increased cost, then I would be in favour of such a partnership in the interest of reducing wait times.

yep Alberta has led the way here...although I don't think Klien has anything to do with thinking up the plan...although he is willing to allocate money to fund such research...I guess he deserves a pat on the back.... but in provincialy I like the Alberta Alliance.
The point about the joint surgery thing is this. For how many years now has the left villified Alberta as the province who was going to destroy health care in Canada? Yet every time something comes up that is good, it seems to come from Alberta, yet does not make the Mainstream Media...........again. Bias, do you think??

hah...I was thinkin the same thing...if this came out of some welfare province like Manitoba it would of made front page news...but who cares, I kinda like being villified.
