Can you place me on the Canada ping list. This ruling is great -I look forward to hear the discussion at my family reunion in Quebec in July. I only have one brother who practices in Quebec -the others practice in Ontario where it is illegal to do private work.
Anyhow the health care system at work: a 50 year old woman in Canada (won't say which Province) will be dead in three months because her doctor did not do an x-ray when she had pneumonia last fall (she is a smoker). Her lung cancer progressed too much since then. She is a very wealthy woman who goes to one of these clinic for the poor (what is that in Canada since there is socialized medicine) -not sure what her reason was. They have waiting lists for x-rays I gather and are so overwhelmed that they did'nt bother. Really sad.

Unfortunately, the Ruling runs roughshod over the BNA Act with its upholding of federal interference in an area of traditional provincial jurisdiction. As such, it's a victory for imposed centralism which will doubtless fan the flames of separatism in Quebec and quite possibly elsewhere as well.
Certainly, in the short run, it will give the Liberals an opportunity to crow factitiously that their hand-picked red-robed Judicial dictators have the best interests of the majority at heart but, longer term, any smart ones should rightly recall what Johnny Cochran told Marcia Clark:
"be careful what you wish for ... 'cause it might come true."
Plus, there's no real win for freedom of choice here or slap at the bloated, unaccountable socialist healthcare system - only different groups of hogs jostling for position at the same trough!

Rush just talked about this.
Just want to know, are the unions for the Big Three going to want this?
