This is the ‘slow walk’ to private (read:profitable) health care in Canada.
All these business interests pushing the governments to ‘let it ride, until it breaks’.
Then they can swoop in, take over, and CASH IN BAYBY!
Money, favours, and stock options speak volumes.
Idiots like these are the ones that merged with the old school Conservatives, then took over the party. Welcome the CPC party - reformers in sheep’s clothing.
Why do we even need a friggen election? I’m 60yo. I’ve NEVER seen the government working the way it’s supposed to (generally speaking, …role eyes), for so long as it has in this minority government.
No one, right now, can railroad anything through under a majority - just ‘cause we’re in charge! Basically, what both Cons & Libs want.
NDP are “passive kingmakers” right now -Yay!
Government might consider breaking a few companies apart for the public good.
Fuck Loblaws,btw. Hey that Pattison piece of shit too! All of em, greedy old men.
Until grocery prices get too hi….uhhhhh almost there too!
Out of all of Canada’s party leaders, In trust this Guy’s take, substantially more than the other two. ‘Millhouse’ being the least trusted one.
The man is truly one of Canada’s greats. His work influenced/spanned 3 generations.
Basically changing Canada through its children.
Fred Rogers is another, truly.
So, I could hurl questions at him from my seat? …Since he’s just an ordinary guy talking on a mic reserved for airline staff.
Conservative government is trying to break health care.
This allows their cronies to set up private health care for crazy profits.
You know? The American model?
This is the perspective of the informed!
Experiencing the very purposeful breaking of the system by the current government, right this moment. …so their buddies and their interests can cash in BIG.
I’m gobsmacked, to be directed to private health care for better services that are waaay faster.
I’m more gobsmacked to find people complaining about this, while simultaneously STILL SUPPORTING the current government.
Faith in society, humanity? At an all time low.
“…asking”
Fuck off.
Sorry.
Maybe Sophie is taking it?
jk
“Paranoid idiots interact with the RCMP!”
FTFY
Yes. But the greedy business venture folks thought all that prohibition-profit could be gathered with a butterfly net by legally now becoming the “dealers”.
If you read through the old white paper on the matter 5 or 6 years ago (?) put together byb the LPC. It stated that home cultivation should stay in to mitigate the government, or private industry from becoming the new “dealers”. They likened it to the home made wine industry.
This is how it was intended to roll out, more or less. Industry is just pissed because they can’t pull in $10-15 a gram on low- grade, or mids.
People want weed grown with care. It makes all the difference.
Also, they made it all about THC content. …it’s not about that. You can get seriously fucked up on 15% THC with good terpenes, and a short, dull high from 33% corporate junk.
…IMO.
Housing, and health care.
Both should, after CC(!), be our primary national priorities in the media, and public discourse.
End transmission!
He is still “Canada’s Most Punchable Face”
Like our Shkrelli of Canadian politics.
“A refresher: Pipsqueak is the Conservative MP who famously joked about “tar babies” in the House of Commons, a derogatory term to describe blacks. He is the MP who attacked Harper for compensating aboriginal residential schools victims, opining that what those lazy natives needed was “hard work.” He is the MP who told his fellow MPs “f— you guys,” and then later said he would “confiscate” the tape of the occasion.”
What piece of shit.
Good grief. Everyone talks like Trudeau is lacking, and he might be, but has anyone considered that it’s a MINORITY government right now. You can’t just “ram shit through”, you have to work with others and play nice.
I fucking LOVE this situation right now.
A. It’s not the right-wing wackos in charge - don’t get me started. B. Trudeau has resources and experienced support, old favours, blah blah C. But Trudeau is held in check by, mostly, by the NDP(who I view as the political ’conscience’ of Canada). D. NDP are the real kingmakers - anything doesn’t pass muster? Nope! E. This forces EVERYONE to play and work together.
Isn’t that what this country is about?
Or is it about, “MY turn to drive!”? There’s no absolute power, right now and that’s a good thing.
Who gives a shit if a turd is, technically, “in charge”? The bus is driving like it’s supposed to.
Did he steal a cookie? They ALL do!
