Brian Mulrooney et al are not part of the new conservative party. I remember a time when Preston Manning said "if we dont do something to shore up our medicare system it will erode and will not function properly; we can raise taxes, reduce services, or add a private section so that part of the system is supported by people who pay for private health insurance" He was accused of being a redneck racist Nazi and demolished by the press. Jean Chretien said "I won't touch your social programs" He was elected and promptly had Mr Martin (finance Minister) cut transfer payments to all provinces, which really destroyed hospital services and beds in Nova Scotia.

He also failed to live up to his promises of eliminating the GST and failed miserably to secure decent wage increases for anyone. All the jobs he claims to have created are part time low paying benefitless service industry jobs and he is proud of that?So much for the great social Liberals.

Now we have Mr Harper who promises to cut the GST, cut taxes, and repair our medicare system, the Liberals declare foul and use the same scare tactics they used before. Sorry, there are now enough Candians who see through that; and hopefully we will get a government that will actually do some good for our country instead of raping it for personal benefit. BTW Mr Martin uses a Private Medical Clinic as does jean Charest, Brian Mulrooney, et al......
