Politicians are what they are.............no particular reason to hate them or love them, just a good reason to WATCH them. One thing they all have in common, they are all full of SH*T! :lol:
I am supposed to be impressed by that bio? Mike Harris is also a Senior Fellow of the Fraser Institute. The Fraser Institute is our version of the Heartland Institute and was founded for the same purpose: to disseminate ultra Conservative propaganda.
Manning founded something to "[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]To identify, develop, and support political entrepreneurs who can advance our common vision of a free and democratic Canada guided by conservative principles.’
Entrepreneurs advance free and democratic ....conservative principles! Code for libertarian social structures and l.aissez-faire economics.
The rest of his bio has about the same weight. It might just as well have said that "He has read Ayn Rand and been a devotee of selfish arrogance ever since."
When will one of you try to rebut my statements. Health care cost increases are made up of: inflation, population increase, costs of new drug and other treatments, invasive and non invasive. And, from a changing demographic that is somewhat more costly.
Not one of you has even tried to refute that in your smart alecky infantilism.
6% almost certainly does not cover it. Less than that in five years is a deliberate push along the path to the end of federal involvement, and, of course, to Healthcare since the provinces do not have the capacity to generate the needed revenues.
This is the declared intention of Harper as was made explicit when it was adopted as Reform Party policy on 1989.
When digging a hole, ensure that you are not in it.

As for the first two pints, I have already laid out that case and I am waiting for a rational rebuttal.

Good advice.When digging a hole, ensure that you are not in it.
To paraphrase my late wise old Grandfather...Reading this thread, it's easy to see how a condescending asshat rubs everybody the wrong way;-)

"If a couple people have a problem with you, it's usually their problem. If everyone has a problem with you. The problem is yours."

If you take a look at the Reform Party Caucus statement of 1989, written by Harper, you will find exactly that.
You really are just a blusterer and you will need more than bluster if you want to continue these exchanges.

In the end, this will have to be added to the long list of claims that this clown troll has claimed, and failed to back up.I have called you on this three times now, and you have failed to defend yourself.
Find it.
Quote it.
Cite it.
Or STFU.
Because the Reform Party platform NEVER included a complete federal withdrawal from Healthcare.
Harper did NOT write a document promoting a complete Federal withdrawal from healthcare.
You are a liar.
I have called you on this three times now, and you have failed to defend yourself.
Not that I'm a ninny, but we've come to the conclusion, you aren't here to debate.Interesting, though, how the usual ninnys are piling on. They have nothing to contribute: nothing to support any contradiction of what I am saying so they just try to ridicule and obfuscate.
Then you will have to shout louder. I have told you where it is and you claim to support that Party.
Later, I may give you a couple more Harperisms about this but you can absorb that one first.

You spell like a 4th grader. :lol:

I enjoy shouting out the truth.
As for you, you have failed yet again to meet the challenge.
You can not cite the document, because it does not exist.
You can not cite the document because it has never existed.
You are a damned liar, and a fool.
And you lose the debate.
No obfuscation there.
And, "It's past time the feds scrapped the Canada Health Act. 1997 while Vice-President of the National Citizens Coalition."
Stuff it, gerry. That is a direct quote from Harper's past. You can easily look it up. Not only that, but you select one of the quotes and try to make a case. Notice that the only actual comment is that his colleagues can't remember him saying it. And think that it might have been Somerville. Harper wrote most of the material for Somerville - that is what he was there for.
Other people seem to think that Harper repeated it many times. You see, I happen to know something about Colin Brown and his influence on Harper - Harper's early mentor and the Godfather of his ideology. Brown's people at the NCC said that, and similar ideas repeatedly.
Nothing i can see there on a search that supports Cabbage's bad spelling and grammar being made to look like a quote from a well educated man.:roll:
