PORT HARDY, B.C. -- NDP Leader Jack Layton, who's campaigning as the defender of public health care, had surgery at a private clinic in the 1990s, The Canadian Press has learned.
Layton had hernia surgery at the Shouldice Hospital, a private facility in the Toronto suburb of Thornhill, while he was serving as a Toronto city councillor.

Must have got that straining to put himself in front of the camera.
The NDP really needs to replace him because he is such a flake.

I remember during one of the last elections debates someone asked him what he was doing at a private clinic he said something like "oh I did'nt know it was a private clinic, I was just following doctors orders."

Jack was probably right with that and it wasn't a really big transgression BUT you can bet that we'd never hear the end if Harper did that.
This was a one time event, not like living in subsidised housing for years and years and years. Neighbors must have wondered when those limo's kept pulling up

[ridenrain]

As you read my original post, I said that his operation was no big thing, but you must agree that Harper would never be given the same benefit of the doubt. How Martins millionare private industry doctor excaped a media frenzy is still beyond me though.

Rather than use rabble as a reference ( ) I'll cite this old CKA thread where Rev_Blair tries to use the NDP homepage to refute these charges, which leads to this nice link provided by Karra:

Government policies that allowed former Toronto councillor Jack Layton and his wife, Metro councillor Olivia Chow, to earn $120,000 a year from taxpayers while living in subsidized housing are a joke.

[ridenrain]

He said he's never used private clinics but it turns out he did. He may not have known it at the time but he was wrong.

So far all you have to refute the low cost housing claim is an editorial from rabble. You go girl!

[Rev_Blair]

I'm not sure how many times the press has issue retractions, corrections, etc, for you to comprehend that the accusations against Olivia and Chow are false, Ridenrain, but Piatkowsky listed several of them on the Rabble column you are now claiming doesn't count because you don't like the source.

Give it up and apologize already. The smear about Layton and the co-op housing is nothing but cheap character assassination by cheap political hacks. Those who seek to perpetuate these smears are even worse than cheap political hacks, they don't even have the wherewithal to come up with their own untrue smears, after all. it takes a special kind of dullard to steal a lie, I guess. Do you really want to be special?

lol, maybe Jack did pay market rates after all but who cares. The rap sheet on him is pretty lengthy. I have a university degree but have worked as general labour in small factories and small warehouses for 20 years now and the NDP has little support amongst the proletariate. That's the wrap.
