scribblet Posted March 25, 2006 Report Posted March 25, 2006 No my daughter is not an RN, and she is casual labour, some of her weekends were four twelve hour shifts. For every argument supporting private healthcare, there are at least a dozen that show why it can't and doesn't work. It will be like a hotel. Those with money will get the luxury suites, and those without the broom closet. However, this thread was not necessarily to pit private and public, but to state that while Stephen Harper is posturing about protecting the Canada Health Act - it is just that - posturing - and the dream that he and the NCC had about scrapping Medicare is now within his grasp. If he had a majority government he could take his time, but with a vulnerable minority, it will be fast tracked. The stage is set and his ducks are in a row. More journalism, CBC style? A "secret agenda of getting rid of health care" My Oh My still going on about secret agendas etc. More nonsense, innuendo and supposition, not based on facts. You have not provided your source and certainly have not been able to show the current CPC policy or platform which supports your accusations. These tactics are very similar to those used by the Dems in the U.S.. and their media allies. Fortunately, there are many reasonable people who have come to recognize that this type of nonsense only hurts their party or position when they spread unsupported innuendo about Harper and the CPC . This accusation harkens back to the 1993 campaign when unscrupulous PC cabinet ministers visited hospitals and nursing homes telling seniors that the Reform Party would take away their health care. Such tactics made many run scared from the Reform Party, (which only called for allowing provinces to run their own health care systems by the way). Not to mention it happened in my riding in 2004; not cabinet ministers but Liberals. We need to condemn the silly and libelous stories. There is no need to destroy our health care system in the name of "saving health care" as Liberals et al like to say. In time these people will be forced to try to defend their lies and they will lose the next election for sure. Quote Hey Ho - Ontario Liberals Have to Go - Fight Wynne - save our province
