I am pro-NDP (I am acutally a member of the federal NDP for about 3 years), and am one of the few within the NDP that supports increasing funding to the DND so it can get more equipment and troops to do its peacekeeping missions. But I am happy with the results as they came in. Plenty for us NDP'ers to be happy about.

I am definetly pro conservative, however in a way I am glad that they only got a minority government. That way they can't change our healthcare system. But at the same time I am disappointed that they didn't get a majority because now it might be hard to get some more funding/people into the Forces.

Big cost, crap service, and people dying on waiting lists. All this despite a good supply of excellent nurses and doctors and good hospitals. We could have SO much more for what it costs. The bleeding off of money from this system is disgusting - it is the economical equivelant of a shotgun blast to the stomach at 4 feet.

I was thrilled with the results, I believe that this is just a stepping stone to a conservative majority government. The East has a tendency to view anything out of the West as something which is bent on destroying Eastern ideal and throwing the country into a tailspin. Harper certainly has a few Western ideals that may not sit well in the East (ex: senate reform, tax and social reform), but by an large he is not going to be doing anything which could be considered earth shattering. I see the conservatives forming a responsible, centrist government, which will win over many of the doubters in the East. Just as happened in Diefenbakers government, and next election we will have a majority conservative government, it will take something big on the conservative end for them to lose terribly in the next election.

1995, son not reacting well to sound. Book appointment, told no hearing testing until 2 yrs old (a lie).
1995 Posted.
1996, Posted again, same issues, son now two, try for a speech path. appointment. Told to wait 18 months, or pay 75$ and go in two weeks - we pay $75.
Told we need an audiology appt, wait 15 months, or pay $95 - we pay $95. Two weeks later, son at Montreal children's hospital, and was fitted for hearing aides three days after that. Son now has choclear implant.
Point is: I was allowed acces to a two-tier health care system and I spent my own money to have my son taken care of sooner. When I did this, people below me on the lines got to bump up one notch.
Also, I helped keep Health Care proffessionals in Canada. The govt was using them two days a week. The other three days, they went private - what did we expect them to do? Work at Macdonalds?
But, why was I allowed access to two tier health care?
BECAUSE WE LIVED IN QUEBEC!
And Quebec had - and still has - two tier health care.
But, you aren't allowed to know that, and you aren't allowed to do that elsewhere in Canada.
So, now that the truth is out....
Do you really thgink Harper is a threat to Health Care?

Ends up looking like:
Clear as mud?
Also, try hitting the "preview" button, it saves you from posting a half-formed abortion of a quote, and gives you the chance to fix it before hitting the "post" button.
