Of course they defunded it. It's not like it's touted as surgical reconstruction for grossly aberrant physiology. <br /><br />The entire shortfall 'panic' is a use of that shock doctrine stuff to start chopping away at healthcare so they can start moaning how private for profit healthcare would be ever so much better than public funding.<br /><br />And they'll get elected *again*, so they're obviously right in what they do...right?Nileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096047389811381098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207011.post-48775926630136637482009-04-15T05:27:00.000-07:002009-04-15T05:27:00.000-07:00I won't say that I liked Ralph either, but after s...I won't say that I liked Ralph either, but after seeing Liepert's performance in the Legislature, I think they've sunk to new lows.<br /><br />GRS funding survived even the harshest cuts of the Klein years.MgShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183962674882855323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207011.post-8948171980294705292009-04-14T21:48:00.000-07:002009-04-14T21:48:00.000-07:00How much will it cost in court to defend their dec...How much will it cost in court to defend their decision? They probably don't care. They would fight it on "principle".<br /><br />I remember when MLA Stockwell Day was sued for libelling someone. The government paid his defence costs. The person was asking for only $50k but the government spent well over half a million dollars to defend Day.<br /><br />It's not about the money, it's about the "principle" of never having to say they were wrong.<br /><br /><I>"Alberta's government has lost sight of its basic humanity."</I>You just noticed that now?
