I know so...hi CK....yes that's a good question. I know some Liberals have spoken up about medicare, but if Ignatieff did I missed it. If he was smart he'd grab this issue and run with it.Because Harper is really vulnerable. But I notice that according to a recent poll 41% of Liberals thought the country was heading in the right direction. So WTF? Maybe that explains it...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-69564707987679486642009-08-16T14:33:11.399-04:002009-08-16T14:33:11.399-04:00Well, we get why ol' Stevie isn't defendin...Well, we get why ol' Stevie isn't defending our healthcare system. <br /><br />Jack Layton has gone to Washington DC to defend our healthcare system.<br /><br />I think the question is why hasn't Michael Ignatieff spoken up about health care. I have tried to look around for sources siting his views on health care. I haven't found anything of substance. <br />Given that he's spent so many years stateside before coming back home seeking to be Prime-minister of Canada, I would be more curious to know where he stands on this issue & why he hasn't said anything yet.<br />We already know a few years back, before he joined the Liberal Party, he did say he supported the U.S. war against Iraq; would it be a stretch to presume he, like Stevie would also want to try to scrap the Canada Health Care Act?CKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10762523064802036223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-63751063370218484252009-07-30T17:01:46.763-04:002009-07-30T17:01:46.763-04:00Harper seems to be too busy making a hero from him...Harper seems to be too busy making a hero from himself for the end of recession. How could he waste his precious time on medicare? What a shame. Hopefully people do realize he did not, does not and will not(ever) defend medicare.

I'm still waiting to hear from Iggy. But I understand he's on vacation...or lost.<br />He'd be smart to jump on this issue because for progressives it's one of the best ways to beat up the Cons.

You should know my disgust for them but should point out that Conservative Senator Hugh Segal has been down in DC defending Canadian health care.<br /><br />Segal is, of course, one of few remaining old Red Tories. Naturally the anti-health care reform forces in the Untitled Snakes of A Merry Cow have branded him a <i>socialist</i> or worse, a Democrat.Frank Frinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05727863730658037306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-85118395175565355882009-07-24T01:17:32.778-04:002009-07-24T01:17:32.778-04:00Why Harper doesn't defend medicare?
