On the health care situation, look higher than Alberta. It was the federal liberals who chose to rape health care so they could balance the budget, while also blaming any province that didnt deficit spend to cover the shortfall for health care problems.
Go live in a socialist province for a while and tell me the system is any better.
As it is, for every horror story, there are ten where the system works fine. I ended up in the hospital for a gall-bladder problem a month ago, and I was in to see a doctor in 15 minutes. They knew what was wrong within an hour, and I was free to go after three. System worked perfectly fine for me. It has worked perfectly fine for everyone I know.
But, the Federal Liberals answer to health care problems was to blame the provinces. Now that they are stuck in a minority situation, they are throwing money at the problem. Agree or disagree with what Klein is tried to do with Bill 11, at least the provincial government recognizes the problem, and is trying to do something.
