Low level of comment... You're on the same level as people who liked Trudeau for his hair. Really, You should stop posting here.

1. And -> we DON'T KNOW 2. Why? Why? Why?

Clinton's worse but there are other cases for both. And the current case is about campaign finance rules. And... who cares...

Good question but more importantly, what are they doing?

1. Well, you can be pessimistic if you like but these wars will end at some point, and I would rather look back positively at what I did. 2. Uh....

1. Question from 3 hours ago: "Do you seriously think just restructuring a failing health care system would fix the problems?" Question from 11 minutes ago: "The government and health authorities have had years to re-structure the system and don't appear to have done so. So why would they change now?" Can you not see how these are different questions ? Are you the kind of person who hates being questioned and/or corrected ? 2. You can ask that directly. I think that we would do well with two-tier if we had a public more akin to France's with respect to inspecting/monitoring services. 3. There's restructuring and then there's RESTRUCTURING. 4. And thanks for yours too. Believe it or not, I think we're more close than apart on these things. 5. Yes, I think people should be fired for not doing their jobs. I also think culture makes workplaces terrible and that's the hardest thing to fix. A manager who has only worked in a bad environment can't be expected to fix things on their own. Working productively and challenging yourself can be fun - whether there are unions there or not. I could run a team with union members, and have revived the careers of more than one so-called useless employee. ----- Religious rant: Despite what the unions say, people want to work. And if you provide a good environment you will get good results. Money actually adds fog to the issue as you end up getting people who hate their jobs but can't quit. The best thing that happened to my general happiness was when my field (IT) got globalized and I went from making 6 figures as a young man to not being able to find clients. This happened years before the web became a thing... Eventually "the market" found me again and I work to better myself and make the environment challenging and productive. If it turns bad, I can quit and get a new job right away.

1. You have changed the question to "will restructuring happen" ? That's not what you asked before. 2. They have these things in all health jurisdictions that I have seen. How can that be the root cause of the problems then 3. Not true. Sometimes I don't reply at all. If I think it's a waste of time then I won't. Until then, be thankful for my time.

You're not wrong... but who would you rather be in this scenario: Russia, China, India or a NATO member ?

1. My guinea pig is a liberal Jew.

Only a fool would believe such a thing At least, that's what my talking guinea pig told me.

I'll bet Israel itself knew exactly what was going to happen. A forwarned attack that was practically 100% defended. It was fireworks 🎇

1. Yes. 2. The examples that people bring up include mostly socialized medical systems. Some are two-tier.

1. Yes this is exactly the problem. 2. Yes, this report will hopefully move the dialogue forward. 3. From my POV, you have to vote old ideas back IN: professionalism, dedication to care, resistance to ideology. For our part as a public, we must kill the culture wars on this and focus on giving caregivers space for figuring things out.

Uh... 🤔 NATO was founded with 12 countries, now includes 32 I think? https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_52044.htm

Well. Yes and no. We need someone with a large business background to restructure. All Harris did was hold things back until later.

1. Management, from the lowest supervisor to the Deputy Minister is charged with solving problems. There are plenty of unionized places that don't have these problems. Maybe some of this is informed by me dealing with said management, and knowing some people on the inside. It seems like a horrible environment for all involved. 2. Well Poilievre would be the guy to change things but ... war with the union isn't very creative and probably won't change things much in the long term. I do appreciate that leadership of management and union sometimes take a war footing. But the cost to both workers and management of perpetual stasis is great IMO.

I thought they were talking about Margie Novera ? I dated her briefly in 8th grade but she broke up with me when I put gum in her hair.

1. Yes, All of this is part of the culture. 2. Well, it you are thinking I'm blaming individuals then I agree with you. But it's all management culture. 3. Good points. I think there's an opportunity to change all that, for leadership with imagination.

1. I don't know that I did that. I did blame the culture though. 2. Really not too much controversy in what you posted there. What did you mean? Responsibility flows up? You mean that the deputy ministers... People who have never generally worked in a real organization, who have massive amounts of power and are unknown to the public May be an issue?

1. Picture doesn't prove anything. 2. What's the issue with that VPN?

I should have said middle management. I meant that there's a lack of customer focus. And it's the overall culture that has to be changed....

1. Cite? 2. How so?

1. The Government not the people. 2. So dismiss it then. Dismiss their methodology and their effort. It's pretty easy for you to do so in the 15 seconds it takes to write a post. Others are working to solve problems.

A national licensing group - that would do it. I'm hoping Poilievre can think outside the box on such things.
