Canadian Politics
I agree that happened to some but not 1000. Filmon's choice was that or close hospitals. It always amazes me that the Federal Liberals never catch any of the anger over it. They had little choice either as our financial situation was dire due to rampant spending by previous Federal governments. So they chopped transfer payments.

On Filmons tenure : The Federal government ( Liberal ) made massive cuts to transfer payments. They did that to reduce the Federal deficit that was out of control . The Fimon gov. was faced with restructuring Healthcare or doing what Saskatchewan did, close hospitals.So to move nurses around they were required to lay them off, legally. So yes he laid off a thousand nurses and then offered them different positions.

Canada sometimes suffers from living next door to one of the worst healthcare systems in the world. ( By far the most expensive and 32nd in life expectancy last time I looked ) . It makes Canadians real jumpy about changes to healthcare. I love our system but there are definatly weaknesses that need addressing.

Canadian Politics
I'm not arguing her merits .I'm simply saying they will have a shot if she come across a little more central than Pallister. The general public will tend to blame him. But again if this becomes a shite show she doesn't stand a chance.

I kind of agree but the PCs do have a chance if Stefanson can come across as a more reasonable, less hardass leader. Having 2 years to " change the image " gives them a chance. But an internal squabble is a death sentence.

Canadian Politics
She has adopted Salinger's " if I can't have it , no one can " plan. Blowing up your party and immersing it in a internal war will put the opposition back in power. But that's not what she cares about. She cares about Shelly Glover.

An interesting read. I agree with much of it. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/oct/30/capitalism-is-killing-the-planet-its-time-to-stop-buying-into-our-own-destruction

All I can say is however happened , thank goodness they kept Glover out. Will Stephenson be any good ? No idea, but I don't think she will rocket us down the path of self destruction.

The Environment Thread
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/oct/27/climate-crisis-villains-americas-dirty-dozen Every time I read articles that reference billions of dollars I like to remind myself that no human has ever or can ever count to a billion. If you could count each number in a second ( which you can't) and could count 24 hours a day ( which you can't) it would take 32 years. Whether it's money of the rich and powerful or the spending of governments (The US spends close to 780 billion on its military and have a 22 trillion dollar debt ) these numbers are insane. .It would take 32,000 years to count to a trillion by the above mentioned method. Lol, I almost lost my point. I feel like such a pawn reading articles like this. The rich and powerful also treat the earth like a pawn. Just things to use to get more of what they already have.
