I watched a promo for St Jude a few years back. They cover all expenses for families so they can focus on their kids. You should donate. They're awesome.

I feel like it's a no win situation.

Here in Canada, my coworker has needed back surgery since last year in September. He just got into a specialist for a consultation last week to get surgery scheduled. He's been living for almost an entire year on light duty at work with back pain.

I feel over the past 10 years our Government has mismanaged their financials and our healthcare and education systems have taken the beating for it. Public services are only as good as the people who are trusted to safeguard them.

That's what happens when people vote the Conservatives in. They fuck up healthcare funding, and quality goes down the drain. Then the Liberals do fuck all to restore funding and fix it, and over time it just gets worse.

And I'd argue that Conservatives are trying to balance the budget after the Liberals reckless spending habits. Though the older I get the more I start to believe that that is what they want. You and me fighting over left and right when they both are there just to serve their own needs.

They don't balance the budget, they haven't in decades. All they do now is enrich their donors and friends. If they really wanted to balance the budget they would raise taxes on the rich, not cut essential services.

Do you still believe this to be true? Conservatives consistently push for lower taxes and higher military spending. The taxes are the big part, taxes on the wealthy are drastically lower than they were a generation ago.

You've been fighting over right and far right. Liberals are not leftist.
