Healthcare - "Fixed for a Generation"
Remember that tagline? Global National tonight had a GREAT review of the Liberal promise from the last Federal Election, which has had virtually NO progress since it was made.
They reminded everyone that the long wait times started AFTER Healthcare funding was gutted by the Federal Government of the 1990's. (who's idea was that anyway?) They exposed that the $41 Billion promised in new health spending is to be implemented over the NEXT 10 YEARS, with only $2.2 billion next year; thus, no short term relief is in sight. They exposed the fact that the issue of wait times is STILL BEING STUDIED, with no reports due until DECEMBER. And no deadline for implentation until MARCH 2007.
So, you REALLY wanna talk Healthcare?

I certainly hope alot of Canadians watched that and thought about it. I'm fed up with them believing that the Liberals are the saviours of our health care system!
Maybe we'll luck out and Global will replay that segment right before an election!
Cheers,
