Canadian Politics

I didn't think we had a thread for this. 

Is Trudeau this out of touch or does he just not care?

I think Charest sees the writing on the wall, so it seems like the best thing he can do now is go after Poilievre as much as possible over the disgraceful company he's been keeping of late.

Things for the CPC are only going to get worse now.

Premiers who gathered Monday in Moncton, N.B. for a summit on health care called for significant changes to the delivery of services in their provinces and hinted at the possibility of offering more services through the private sector.

Disagreements over health care funding have strained the relationship between Canada's premiers and the federal government for years now, but the increasingly dire situation in hospitals and emergency departments has pushed the premiers to push for change more aggressively.

 

The premiers say Ottawa must increase its share of health-care funding from 22 to 35 per cent in order to build a sustainable and properly functioning system.

The federal government contends that calculations used by the provinces do not accurately account for Ottawa's contributions to provincial health care services.

What a mess.

I hope someone asks Ford why his govt didn't spend $1.8B they were given for healthcare?

Oh, right, because it's their goal to starve and destroy our healthcare system.

A buck eighty-eight will get you a coffee at McDonalds and not much more- not very therapeutic.

Yeah and alberta tore up contracts with doctors during a pandemic and wonder why they can't find doctors. Here's an idea for Alberta... if healthcare dollars are tight spend the $1 billion you pissed away on a doomed pipeline on healthcare. 

Conservative politicians in this country can all **** off

And I find their tough guy posturing is just that, posturing.

Most are really are just frail little children with no sense of the world around them throwing temper tantrums when they don't get what they want.

That's no exaggeration.

And, when the babies don't get what they want, they cry, stomp their feet and threaten to kill you.

Yup while hiding behind a key board.

Somehow, Poilievre and his ilk feel that by imitating the violent rhetoric of the Trump GOP, the shine of the American "successes" will rub off on them, but they will find that only the sh1t will. I am trying to stay confident that Canadians on the whole are a cut above such, but am having nagging doubts, and that frightens me.

I think a lot of the 55% who didn't vote in the Ontario Provincial election are realizing they made a big mistake.

Beyond sad- its frightening and will impact those who have no one to advocate for them. But then what would you expect from a PC government?

Don't forget that there are a lot of powerful Conservatives in Ontario invested (in a financial sense) in providing Long Term Care.

Justice Michelle O'Bonsawin's appointment to the top court has been formally confirmed by the Prime Minister's Office. Canada's first Indigenous Supreme Court justice is set to take her seat on the bench on Sept. 1.

The appointment is the fifth under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government. O'Bonsawin is filling the seat left vacant by the upcoming retirement of Justice Michael J. Moldaver.

"Justice O'Bonsawin is an accomplished jurist with expertise in the areas of mental health, Gladue principles, labour and employment law, human rights and privacy law," the PMO said in a media statement.
