As for health care, I don't know if you have been reading the papers but the US is careening towards Stalinist health care. If Obama gets his way they will be begging for anything close to Canadian health care.
Yes, he has been the best in a long time. I was less than impressed with the bailout of GM and the major amount of money they through into infrastructure projects. But, we should be deficit free at the federal level in a year or so and taxes have remained reasonable including a lowering of the goods and services tax. I thoroughly worry our PM is about to be kicked out of office if the senate scandal shows he violated the law. The RCMP is doing a very serious investigation on this issue.
Yes, I have been carefully following the insanity in the US wrt to the health care. I am very worried for many of you in the US as to how this tremendous change is taking place. The huge costs to people is crazy. It should never have been passed in the first place without careful consideration of all of the issues.
Have a great day.
