Preponderance of evidence vs. Roger Ebert, Michael Moore Hates America We report, you decide. Facts v Anecdotes. Yeah, tough choice. I'm awarding this round to bigolsmitty.

Guest MikeSC Report post Posted November 22, 2004 Well, if some people in Quebec have their way, they'll be alot less Francophones in Canada and alot more in the US..... The US a) would never actually allow Canada to split up (no way we'd renegotiate all of the assorted treaties we have with Canada) b) would never accept Quebec. W.

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 If Harper is going to run again, he's going to get less seats than before. Ontario isn't going to vote somebody who has the same characteristics as Bush. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 I can't conceive of a situation where Harper resigns before the next election. If he does, the Liberals will try and force an election themselves, to catch the party completely flat-footed. Whether he does well or not is another question, but Harper will be the man to lead the Tories whenever the writ is dropped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2004 I can't either, but if they want to be in power, Harper isn't the person that is going to carry them to victory. As long as the NDP aren't in power, I'm happy as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MARTYEWR 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2004 I'm looking stuff up through Google, but if anyone can give any personal accounts of why the system is better or worse than the Americans, that would supplement my search quite nicely. Thanks. EDIT: This probably doesn't belong here but maybe political argument will happen so that it can? While I'm not the greatest expert on it... PROS: Prescription medication is, more often than not, easy to find. Also, it's very easy to walk into some small medical centre (e.g. Appletree Medical Centre here in Ottawa) to receive a physical, blood tests, etc. And while Americans have trouble having access to flu shots, they're not hard to get here in Canada, especially in Ontario, where they're free. CONS: Vital operations, such as surgeries. The big problems with Canada's health care system is the waiting lines for those things, something Paul Martin's failed to fix at any rate. I have a co-worker who originally had to wait one year for surgery, but due to some bureaucracy botches within the system, that wait got extended to two years.
