Do you have any evidence of this? I've never seen it. You are totally right to say that the amount of effort to move any Canadian political discourse away from the American example is almost impossible.

I would love to see a healthcare reform debate draw examples from the French or Australians.

You are right that better healthcare would mean more premiums and higher payroll taxes - which is fine by me!
