Do you hear how ridiculous that sounds?
Actually not at all. Without having to put words in your mouth to create some straw man to argue againsts, the point remains: if we had kept spending in line with the rest of Canada over the past decade we would currently be sitting on a massive savings account and could be arguing over how best to spend to dividends. Is that ridiculous?

Also, fixing healthcare means mimicking parallel private/public delivery systems as modeled by the jurisdictions doing a much better job delivering outcomes.

As opposed to the past 10 years of "increasing spending" to solve the problems. Do you think pouring billions of dollars into our social programs, by far the most in Canada, has yielded superior results?
