The present political problems in Canada suggest a change is possible in their politics. Worse alternative is Canada becomes Balkanized and like the EU becomes a currency without a country. The best alternative is the Canadian patriots step forward and do what Manning and Harris are suggesting.

Or we could just absorb them. They can keep quebec and Urban Ontario.

It will probably happen before the century is out.

I agree with you 100%. Unfortunately, the people I know will blindly follow the Liberals over whatever bridge they will jump from. They are scared of the CPC because they are conservative, not conservative-lite lie the old Tories. And any merntion of changing the helth system will kill any hope of winning elections. Health care is expected to be free for life in the Canadian psyche and people brag about how it's the example the rest of the world should follow. Getting into peoples heads that centralized planning wrt sociualized medicine is a system that will unlimitly collapse. Even though Canadians can't avoid the cracks in the system, they assume more government spending will solve the problem. They don't care about high taxes becasue they think it is worth it. I saw this as an escapee from Canada.

What? Socialized medicine doesn't work? I am shocked - SHOCKED!

I read the first sentence real quick at first and thought that it said Peyton Manning. I was wondering what the hell was going on and why the Colts QB was so concerned about Canada lol

And they can start by eliminating their government approved and government supplied "medical" marijuana.

I would like to see the western provinces become a part
of the U. S. They don't buy into this Toronto socialism.

In their dreams. The Canada Health Act and single payer health care is what differentiates Canada's approach to social issues from the U.S. And Canadians don't want to merge with the U.S. Look for the Liberals to pick up votes in Ontario over the Manning-Harris proposal.

Alberta, BC and Quebec will slowly break away from the Canada Health Act. The Act is just a sop for Ontarian socialist class-envy tendencies anyways.

Remember only Cuba, North Korea and Canada do not allow a private component in health care. Even mega rich socialist Norway allows private care, and they can afford a cradle-to-grave system because of oil revenues.
