Step 1: cut healthcare funding
Step 2: watch healthcare system flounder
Step 3: criticize the system for being incapable of meeting healthcare needs
Step 4: cut funding more
Step 5: watch system implode
Step 6: privatize even though no one wants this
Step 7: record shareholder profits!
That’s exactly what’s going on in all conservative run provinces aka. most of the country. It’s going to be insane when all the boomers, who spent their whole lives voting blue, are definitely going to need a quality healthcare system but won’t be able to afford it.
To be honest, I don’t think the Liberals would have improved the system but I doubt they would’ve purposefully caused it to implode.
But they definitely can’t vote orange because brown man === bad and like 30 years ago they gave teachers an extra 6 days off to prevent the education system from collapsing. Oh the humanity!
My parents voted blue their entire lives, including from the nursing homes they got to spend their final years in, where they complained about how bad healthcare and seniors care were and why weren't they funded better and why were there so many immigrants doing the work instead of real Canadians - and then dutifully voting as blue as possible because what else are they going to do?
