So you don't think opening up the medical system to privatization is a conservative value?
O’Toole is out
- Thread starter poker
- Start date
If Ford was smart he wouldn't run again provincially, but would set his sights on a Federal seat. Any one of his senior Ministers, as well as handful of outsiders, could more easily persuade provincial Conservative voters that this time won't be a bait and switch. Federal leader is not in the cards. He cannot deliver the GTA, so better to choose a federal leader who can deliver seats elsewhere.
But Ford is not smart. Frankly he's a better campaign manager than politician. Another person, like O'Toole, who overshot his appropriate station.
I won't be voting for Horvath or Delduca under any circumstances. Whatever Ford did wrong, those two morons wanted to do even more wrong. If Ford runs again provincially, I'll be voting for whatever party makes the better case to declare itself the voice of "purple" voters.

Well, better than yours in any event. You managed to interpret one of my posts completely backwards! Perhaps that's the same way you absorb your observations of the media?
How long is the leadership campaign?
This just knocked O'Toole out, what are the official rules for replacing him?
No.
I was interpreting it the way it actually reads as to most people familiar with reality.
I was hoping you were clear eyed about the strategy.
Doesn't matter.
I await for your reasoned and serious explanation of the Conservative Positions that are so popular if only people would listen.
Well, you'll have to await them for another time. I've reached my silliness tolerance limit for this thread. Till next time.
Except for that "extremist " thing I don't disagree with this take. Canada is not really a country, but a lose confederation of independent states. An unfinished experiment in nation building born out of fear in a shotgun wedding of two solitudes. Harper, a true Canadian patriot, understood that better than anyone and ran his government accordingly. I met him a couple of times a while before he even ran and I was extremely impressed with his pragmatism and his sincere belief in the positive and non intrusive role of the federal government. He really took the mantra of peace, order and good government seriously and really believed that balancing the interests of the different regions was totally possible and the only way for the country to prosper and flourish. Ironic that it took the "West wants in" movement to bring such a man to power.
The 1993 election was a Roman Decimation. The 1988 Election was extremely nasty, the Conservative got a majority but with far less seats than in 1984. Most of the seats lost were Red Tory seats, critical ones in Toronto. Mulroney promised Quebec Separatists that he would make them first among equals through the Meech Lake Accord...we know how that tuned out.
Maybe the articles over the years saying they wanted to and their plan to privatize health care.

Also the Ford governments budget cut health care funding for covid by 3.25billion in 2021 and by 18 billion over the next 8 years in all facets of health care.

Anyone here still voting Conservative? It's mind blowing after what they did with Bill C-36.
As it turns out it was a wise decision then, according to several pundits, as stuff like inflation and the new Omicron Virus could have had an impact on any ruling Party during an election.
The Liberals now have the mandate to ride out both the Pandemic and Inflation. Once all the economies start to open and the supply chains and production facilities are back up to full capacities then there will be a Government that will be looked on under a positive light battling against an opposition Party in disarray, still trying to retrace it's identity!!
I have mentioned this in the past to radio silence in here.
More than willing to listen your suggestions
You tend to be more of an arm chair critic than a problem solver (I am not a fan of that approach)
The undeniable facts of the matter are
1. We have an aging population which will accelerate utilization rates
2. Medical equipment and supply inflation is much higher than cpi inflation
3. The health care infrastructure has been underfunded for decades.- beds per 100,000 population is low relative other developed countries (I read that some where)
4. The moron Trudeau, just spent all of the Federal borrowing capacity
5. The Federal govt, the provinces and the consumer are all levered up to the max..... just before interest rates are going to start to increase
Our current health care system is unsustainable and will cost gab-billions to fix which we do not have and now can not borrow
So again .... More than willing to listen your suggestions
Maybe because it has not impacted anyone
Are you afraid of your shadow too?
It was crystal clear that Error The Tool kept on changing his stance throughout the campaign that enraged many in his own party. With the PPC stealing 6% of the votes of the more right leaning voters, the only way that Error had of winning the elections, was to get the more moderate Canadians to being drawn over to his platform of contradictions. We know how that panned out!!
Is it time to reference your record on legal opinions and court cases in the US?
Tamara Lich raised $10 million for the karenkonvy.
That money is waiting for an alt right leader of the cons, one who will massively lose an election.
By the way, Lich has disappeared and gofundme is holding onto the cash.
Bill C-36 inadvertently caused the amount of brothels in the GTA to go way up . Harper prorogued twice and stroke off.
