Not Telling
How do you know for sure that the "Canada Healthcare Act" is essentially ideological twaddle?
The State Ruling Class who use it to beat the masses over their collective heads, and to marginalize "non-believers" to the fringes of society (f'rinstance, reference Mr. Dithers hysterical rant at Stephen Harper in QP a couple weeks back), wouldn't trust their own health and well being to it for nothing.
They can afford real healthcare, and the price of airfare to get to it...usually in the US.
In the same manner as Communist ruling classes in the USSR, China, Cuba and N. Korea live, not like the working class, but wildly wealthy kings.
Baaaa....baaaa....baaaa...

I'm not even going to read any of this thread.
I tend to avoid ideological BS, especially when it's raised to the level of religion.
You know...
Hitler had his Arian supremecy thing, Mao had his little red book, Lenin had his worker's revolution, N. Korea and Cuba have their cult of personality tyrannies...
And in Canada, we have "The Canada Healthcare Act/Medicare".
All of them effectively used to herd appropriately fear ridden sheep according to the whims of the State ruling classes.

When someone pipes up with statements like, "Protect us from what?", "Yes, national defense cheap as possible!", and "14 yearold children don't need the protection of the State."...
There's no point even going there because a) I don't have 3 hours worth of my valuable time just to bring them up to date on reality, and
if they don't know any better than this already, nothing I'm going to say isn't going to make an iota of difference.
Boy, if there's one thing in this world that never ceases to shock and amaze me, it's the unrelenting, yet remarkably self-righteous, naivity of your average Liberal Lefty.
I'm starting to wonder lately if long term exposure to freedom, democracy, and relatively safe and easy living doesn't somehow negatively mutate DNA from one generation to the next.
The people who built this country, and fought and died for it, must be turnin' in their graves right about now.

Miss Trudeau...
Afraid I'll have to pass on a rebutal.
My computer doesn't allow me to employ crayons enabling me draw a few pictures that you'd understand.

1) Deep integration?
This would mean Canada actually coming to the table to participate in the defense of our own country for a change...as opposed to leaving it up to Americans to cover our butts for us, and even pick up the tab for it.
Yes, I can see that this is definitely a "hidden agenda" of which to be frightened. God forbid Canadians should enjoy national defense on their own dime.
2) Irresponsible decentralization?
Yes, Trudeau federalism, code for centralization of power in Ottawa, has certainly created a united Canada.
Well, except for the time we came within a hair of blowing apart in 1995.
And except for the reality of western alienation and rampant comtempt for Ottawa.
And except for growing contempt for confederation in Newfoundland.
And a political map that reflects a degree of fractured regionalism reminiscent of post WW1 Europe.
Not to mention that we now have a bloated federal government that literally can't do one damn thing right...like, f'rinstance, manage its most primary responsibility, our national defense, or our trading relationship with our largest market, or our international political relationships that now find more in common with bastions of democratic principle and freedom such as Russia, China, and a host of banana belt dictators than it does with the likes of Britain, Australia, Japan, and America.
Or forget the fact that federal coffers are bulging with billions in surpluses each year, while provincial governments are sucking the hind teat in perpetual defits and mountains of growing debt.
Yep, proud times to be a Canadian in this world, that's for damn sure.
3) Religious catering?
That's rich!
Forget that this entire nation history is premised upon Christian values enshrined directly in our Constitution and Charter of Rights, or that hundreds of thousands come from around world each year to live in Canada primarily so they can engage their religious beliefs and values without fear of repression and persecution.
I'm agnostic, and even I find this assertion preposterous...if not intellectually insulting.
4) Recapturing of social progress?
I certainly hope so.
14 yearold children turned loose by liberal laws to be preyed upon by pedofiles is revolting and a disgrace.
Our children beating the bloody crap out of each other, when they're not actually using knives or guns, on school grounds, while teachers stand paralized by legal crap and political correctness.
And the best the Liberals can come up with in a policy convention is legalizing both prostitution and smoke dope.
No surprize here, from a party that's been busy lining its bank account from the public purse for a decade, eh?
And we wonder why our children are confused about ethics and morality?
We re-elect proven liars and thieves as a matter of general rule in this sorry ass country.
5) Privatizing gains while socializing costs?
Ah, yes. I assume you're referring to our wonderful healthcare system...a model for all the world to avoid, which they do.
My family has had four run ins with this sacred healthcare system in the last 5 years.
Final score: 1 dead from a misdiagnosed appendicitis that nobody had the time to deal with 6 weeks earlier. 1 permanently injured from an undiagnosed hematoma due to concussion because nobody could be bothered to use an available MRI. 1 who agonized for years waiting for hip replacements. And 1 doomed ultimately to life on anti-psychotics because it took 9 GD months for doctors to finally concede she needed serious attention.
Why did this litany of avoidable tragedy upon tragedy happen?
Because we have a GD healtcare system that is predicated first and formost upon a half-century old obsolete ideology raised to the status of freakin' religion in this country.
And we don't give a rat's ass how many people we have to kill or torture to make sure it remains there, either.
Our healthcare system is an unmitigated disaster and a revolting national disgrace.
Been there, done that. The sooner it's overhauled into something workable, the sooner we'll all be a hundred times better off.
