Ottawa warns current health transfers unsustainable

I think CPC is doing this to make the public afraid of Assisted Suicide / Euthanasia case that just finished in the BC court.. decision expected January then it will go to the BC court of appeals then Supreme Court Harper will try to divide Canadians on this and starving the baby boomers of health care money and blaming it on Euthanasia would be a way to spin this but of course this might sound ridiculous but Harper is a planner -

You seem to be more worried about being politically correct and pandering to minorities who are not even Canadian citizens yet 80% of Canadians agree on this issue Mosy Canadians ARE worrying about their country, you however are not

I'd support this if the Cpc stopped spending.. but they arent so in the end this sacrifice will be for nothing -
I wasn't sure where to put this as it does not fit within any category but since it involves the whole world I thought I would put it here I will have to think more about this question but there are right now a few things I think will happen Israel will bomb Iran with Canadian support Obama will be re elected Toronto Maple Leafs will win the Stanley Cup (For real this time) Chaos will break out in Europe as the E.U collapses and the 2012 Summer Olympics will be cancelled Putin wins the Russian presidency by cheating and forces a revolution that chases him from power after a month Damaging Earthquakes, Tornadoes, Floods, Hurricanes that kills hundreds of thousands of people in the world A few more countries will legalize Gay Marriage Stephen Harper slips on ice and breaks his wrist

was just making a point that saying people should have the freedom to do something differs when ideology is involved Personally, right now, I say good luck to the farmers, hope they survive -

olp1fan replied to olp1fan's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Difference is Bryan when the Libs cut healthcare they also cut their spending The Conservatives are NOT cutting their spending You cannot cut spending and think that and only that will get rid of the deficit ..this deficit will not disappear because the Conservatives have so much stuff in their agenda that will cost billions of dollars What is your answer to that? -
What a bunch of dicks this government is ... its just rotting down there! Give them back their ship you bullies http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/ottawa-denies-norwegians-passage-for-maud/article2274829/ The federal government has refused to allow a group of Norwegians to take a ship built for famed polar explorer Roald Amundsen out of the Arctic harbour where it sank more than 80 years ago. An expert appointed by Canadian Heritage Minister James Moore has determined that the Maud is an object of outstanding significance and national importance and must remain in waters off the Nunavut hamlet of Cambridge Bay. The starboard of the vessel can still be seen from shore, and local residents hope to turn it into a tourist attraction. But the Norwegians have similar designs. The community of Asker, just west of Oslo, bought the Maud in 1990 hoping to bring it to Norway to become the centrepiece of a new museum. So Jan Wanggaard, the project manager for Maud Returns Home, was disappointed by the Canadian decision. The Norwegians have appealed the decision, and are confident that the Canadian government will eventually rule in their favour, Mr. Wanggaard said. There have been communications problems and connecting with Canadian authorities has been an issue, he said. In the meantime, the Arctic sea and ice is chewing away at what remains of the Maud, the Norwegian said. “What is important now is to save the ship – rather than just observe it,” he said. “Important time is now being lost. We will lose a ship – and we lose major evidence of our cultural history. This was the only ship Norwegian Polar explorer Roald Amundsen had built for himself and has an important position in the world polar history and of course for Norway.” A spokesman for the Canadian Heritage department said a board will review the recommendation of the expert examiner and could direct that a permit be issued to the Norwegians without further delay. However, if the board agrees with the expert that the Maud is a nationally important object, it could delay the export of the ship for up to six months to allow time for a Canadian group or institution to buy it, possibly with financial assistance from the federal government. If no offers to purchase are forthcoming, the Norwegians can have the vessel. Mr. Wanggaard and his colleague Dag Leslie Hansen spent part of this past summer assessing the ship in Cambridge Bay. They had hoped to return next summer with a tug boat and a submersible barge to take the Maud back to Norway. But many residents of Cambridge Bay say they don’t want to lose it. Mayor Syd Glawson has suggested that the Norwegians build a replica of the Maud that could travel between Norway and his community giving people a chance to experience what it was like to sail on the Maud as well as to see the original wreckage. The Norwegians have not expressed much interest in that idea.

Dismantling of the Canadian Wheat Board.

No, but you can't make the argument that way because Canadians should have the "Freedom" to die with dignity, should have the "Freedom" to grow their own Marijuana plants without getting sent to prison for 6 months...why does your party not allow these freedoms ahem? -
Dismantling of the Canadian Wheat Board.

you think like a farmer -
So I guess they don't prefer to be re elected next election? How much pork did Clement get for his riding? Around 50 million.. how many billions for the new prisons and for the new crime laws that mostly make no sense? Your health care money will be going to putting 17 year olds in prison for growing six pot plants ..how much was that Libya celebration ceremony for Harper? Almost 1 million dollars Don't bullshit us Kenney, the money is there its just that Healthcare is not your priority .. come out and say it you fat POS When Chretien and Martin cut back they cut back all of their spending ..something the CPC doesn't seem to know how to do http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2011/12/17/pol-thehouse-kenney-health-transfers.html A day before federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty is set to meet with his provincial and territorial counterparts in Victoria, Conservative cabinet minister Jason Kenney says while a new deal on health transfers has yet to be reached, the current level of funding is unsustainable and his party's election promise to fund health transfers to the provinces at six per cent does not extend beyond 2016. In an interview with CBC Radio's The House, Kenney tells Evan Solomon, "We did commit in the platform, during the election, to six per cent growth for the balance of the Health Accord, plus two years." With the current Health Accord set to expire in 2014, the federal government "will be having discussions with the provinces on where to go beyond that," said Kenney. "Many of the provinces are [already] controlling the growth in health care costs, and it's less than six per cent." "I think everyone recognizes that we cannot continue annual increases of six per cent, or more in some of the provinces, year after year," said Kenney. "For some of the provinces, if they continue in that trajectory, there will be nothing left for education, for universities, for anything else." Federal spending cuts to run deep Until now, Ottawa had promised to balance the books by finding $4 billion in annual savings over the next three years or 5 per cent of the review base through a strategic and operating review of government spending, which would be announced at the next budget in 2012. But according to Kenney, the cuts could range up to $8 billion annually. "We are looking at prudent, spending reductions that will range between 5 per cent and 10 per cent of the operating expenses of the government," said Kenney. When asked whether the cuts could be more than $4 billion, Kenney said, "It could be." When asked a second time if the cuts could go up to $8 billion, Kenney replied, "It'll be in the range." "The decisions have not yet been made." "Every minister has been asked to come to the table with potentially as much as 10 per cent of their operating budget but each decision will be made according to how can we deliver core programs more efficiently," said Kenney. Interim NDP leader Nycole Turmel told The House she has "always supported the program review." What she disagrees with is the way the government has been presenting the cuts, "10 per cent at-large." And that "doesn't solve the problem," said Turmel. For his part, interim Liberal leader Bob Rae told Solomon the problem with this approach is "the government is taking a bit of a sledge hammer." "The rhetoric that I hear from the Conservatives, that I part company with, is the notion that somehow austerity alone is going to get us to prosperity. And I dont think that's true," said Rae. "The plan has to be about creating growth. We can't get rid of the deficit without growth." The government's Strategic and Operating Review will be led by Treasury Board President Tony Clement.

meh, I no longer care about the wheat board, if it screws the farmers over they will still vote conservative because farmers are stupid no point in whining about this..what we should be more concerned about is the crime bill with regards to marijuana
