Canadian election

Importing American businesses to do the job doesn't necessarily follow from what Harper said.

I'm well aware of the issues involved, but thank you for your less derogative tone. As per the quote, I'm afraid that it eventually will. It's very simple. Open up medical services to the private sphere and, under NAFTA, it officially becomes illegal to place restrictions on who can deliver them. We won't get it back, and it is a final step. There's no going back if it doesn't work. The possibilities aren't outweighed by the potential benefits. It has nothing to do with mindset, but it sure does have everything to do with the realities of our free capital agreement with the United States, and I'm not sure that I want my services provided by American firms if they can be as well provided by a sovereign entity, entirely under Canadian control, which is, in fact, the case.
