In doing so Canada would have an elected head of state with official powers and responsibilities. The Governor General would allong with appointed ministers would pro... |

| What we need to do is admit universal healthcare has failed and introduce a free enterprise system. It worked before 1960 it works in the states. People could set up co-ops, doctors could open clinics, investers could establish hospitals and insurance companies. One less job for the government. |

| Fair enough Donny, what about the ethanol plant? Construction may never begin. And if ethanol is so viable why don't they just set up back home in Colorado? What about Spudco? It was a complete failure. Quite your nonsense about the underpaid workers, discuss it with your boss or through your union.... |

The NDP government has had a faulty argument that market manipulation, and subsidisation will attract business, while this may be partially tru... |
