One Voters Opinion

If you watched the debate certain things will stand out for different people.

I just wanted to throw it out there to help point out what I think "is the problem" and you can tell me if I am off base or not.

Best,

Uh, nice alias there... [img]wink.gif" border="0[/img] Welcome to babble, I think! [img]biggrin.gif" border="0[/img] Don't be surprised when people send you private messages asking for help with babble issues. [img]wink.gif" border="0[/img]

Anyhow, that's a great idea, having a blog for your union local.

I thought the handle might be a problem. No complaint, so that's great.

Yes, well, thanks, my welcome remains to be seen? [img]smile.gif" border="0[/img]

Are you doing your part, and when I say this, it is important for one to recognize the "disparaging contradictions" that we face, while in the process of our electoral woes.

I would like to point out one comment for consideration. I like to keep "these connections" separate now and ask people to be respectful of this.

By example, in terms of blog development, I had hope to initiate more dialogue, but knowing what the blog scene can do in regards to one's career and the liability there in, it is often necessary to remain anonymous. This forth rightness in terms of identity does hinder communications.

The potential for recognition and contribution to those who "remain under this umbrella" serves to keep us from a "lot of good information."[Second Life]

So looking to create an endeavour "for sharing info" has been a struggle for the last four years, that I seek to help others become aware of what is out there, Info wise.

How it could effect current business enterprises and bring change other then using Disaster Capitalism architecture to initiate these business changes? Electoral pressure on Governments in the making to offer such initiatives?

Transformations then, that we are undergoing in terms of what we shall consider as an initiative of a broadband being made available to the public "free of charge" as a government initiative?

The article on Web Science at the "trusty blog location" [img]smile.gif" border="0[/img] is a case in point, and an example there supports this contention about transmitting to remote locations. There should not be one location that does not have the ability "to information" to advance their situations and become familiar to the things happening in our country and abroad.

I counter with the example of hot zones and libraries where such adaptations can be accessed too, under the idea of a "free broadband" connection.

I would like this initiative to be called the LIBRARY(synonymous with the idea of a collective unconscious?) [img]smile.gif" border="0[/img] giving access to vast resource of possibilities we can and do seek change on reflection, to our current situations.

Best,

Ok. You're off base. "Appeasement" of Quйbec is not the cause of the problems facing health care in Canada. Because we've only just met, I'll say that I'm sure you're a nice person.

During the debate, did you notice how the bloc representative felt at ease with Harper's take on the provinces "self determination" in terms of healthcare?

I point this out not to deliberate thought on Quebec's culture as being distinct, but to show that the erosion of the constitution, by rewriting groups with "preferential treatment" undermines the constitution for us all. There is a large contingent of votes, that by taking leadership of the country would undermine this relationship with Quebec?

It is no secret what the Bloc's intentions are.

Again, I would also like to draw your attention to this post, No "Open Borders" to Healthcare?today for further consideration.

The federal government oversees the Canada Health Act, which is the national legislation that is supposed to ensure all Canadians have equal access to health care services anywhere in the country. Every year, the federal government is required by law to bring a report on violations of the Canada Health Act to Parliament. But what most people don’t realize is that the government relies on the provinces to tell them when violations occur. There is no impetus or incentive for provinces to report violations – in fact, doing so could make them lose money in the form of transfer payments. As a result, several provinces opt not to report anything at all.

I am asking that a federalist government take control of the healthcare issue from regional determinations, and the Progressive Conservatives have no intention of doing this.

Can you name the two provinces that have the most "for profit clinics" today and who #1 is?

Canada doesn't have a Progressive Conservative party at the federal level. We have the reactionary neanderthal neocon Conservatives in their place. I think Diefenbaker and Clark would be ashamed of these guys.
