Winnipeg Sun Letters: Letters

Winnipeg Sun Letters: Letters: "Winning by treachery
Canada now has its very own Benedict Arnold in Belinda Stronach.
Stephen Harper is right when he says that this has nothing to do with principles. She walked right into a high-profile cabinet position, in spite of her relative inexperience. Essentially, she was bought off. She's a traitor to the fight against corruption in Canada and, ironically enough, she's been put in charge of sorting through the Gomery commission's findings when they are released.
Reg Alcock should be eating his words, since he claimed that Conservatives were not being enticed to cross the floor with plum positions in the Liberal party. He has shown himself either comically ignorant or a bald-faced liar. Knowing the Liberals, I'd say the latter is true. Here's hoping electoral justice is served on him as well.
Liberals have indeed been actively enticing Conservative party members in yet another underhanded attempt to manipulate the balance of power in their favour. They'll win through all this treachery and then proudly proclaim that this was 'what Canadians wanted.' If this rape of democracy is what Canadians want, then I'm on the side of western separation.

Winnipeg Sun: NEWS - Grit gives refreshing health-care reality

Winnipeg Sun: NEWS - Grit gives refreshing health-care reality: "Kirby, chairman of a 2002 Senate report on reforming health care, said what really ails Canada's medicare system is that it operates as a monopoly, producing inefficient and over-priced patient services.
His prescription for change is for procedures such as hip replacements and cataract surgeries to be tendered out to a marketplace of health-care providers, usually free-standing clinics that offer greater 'productivity' than large, bureaucratic-heavy hospitals. "
