a push for sinccing our economy to that of the US so we would be easy pickins' for US takeover all along? Public health care works. I remember going out to dinner with the family of a friend of my dad's in a restaurant. (My dad was naive and didn't know the guy's character. The guy was from the neighbourhood but 5 years younger than my dad. Dad soon found out when the guy stiffed a family friend who caterred for the man. My dad dropped him like a stone). Anyhow this one son was salivating about turning Canadian health care private. That was in the 1980s. We were disgusted but passive. We did not tell him off.
