While I'm certainly a libertarian/fiscal conservative I generally agree with most of what you are saying, even if on some points to a much lesser philosophical degree. My primary point about the US is that they are different and thus attempting to put in a socialized medical system when they can't even afford to pay their interest payments is tantamount to smoking crack. That would be like saying I need a new Ferrari when I don't have the money to pay rent.

I'm a fiscal conservative, also, but there are some things that simply make sense to me. Maybe it's the Canadian upbringing? A single payer medical system (note that I didn't say 'socialized') can cut overall costs, if done right. Leveraging the purchasing power of the entire health care industry is a powerful tool to cut costs. Streamlining bureaucracy cuts costs. Ideally you can not only cut down the amount that is paid by the insured, but you can also use a portion of those savings to provide health care to those who can't afford to be insured.

Unfortunately the American model, due to political infighting and mindless dogmatism, rapidly became 'a mouse designed by committee.'

The ideal form of government may well be a benign, enlightened dictatorship. :rolleyes:

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!

And, of course, yesterday the idiocy continued in council.

Mammoliti: 'But he started it!'

MINO Ford: 'But I didn't say anyone's name, when I threw that insult.'

Why is it that conservatives seem to have to be represented by mental children?

Did you catch the two of them 'apologizing' in council this morning? Hilarious. Children is an apt metaphor.

"Rob Ford apologizes to Toronto Star reporter who threatened to sue"
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toron...star-reporter-who-threatened-to-sue-1.2467357

First Ford said: "Daniel Dale is in my backyard taking pictures. I have little kids. He's taking pictures of little kids. I don't want to say that word but you start thinking what this guy is all about."

Today he said: "To be clear, I never personally saw Mr. Dale peering over the fence or taking pictures"

Zero credibility. I hope legal action continues against him. It is not even a proper apology.

I only caught part of something this morning. Was he asking what sort of apology she wanted and gave her a choice?

Then maybe Mr. MINO Ford shouldn't have made a false police report, aimed at screwing with someone's life?
 
Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!

But he's a Ford. That's a pass to do as you want and blame it all on a drunken stupor or pretend it didn't happen at all.

Yeah right. All governments are there to inflate the debt. At least Ford is trying to deflate the debt.

Ford admittedly broke the law. It would be nice if it didn't have to wait until next election.

Anything else you guys would like for Christmas? Since we're asking a fictional guy to over come the adversity of real guys that live in a distinctly dysfunctional reality.
 
Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!

Update: Daniel Dale rejects the apology from Crack Ford - legal action will follow, a real apology still expected.

Daniel Dale responded to the apology on Twitter writing:
“I asked Mayor Ford to 1) retract all of his false claims about my conduct and 2) issue an unreserved, abject, complete apology.

"His statement today didn't come close. I'm proceeding with a defamation lawsuit."

“In his ‘apology,’ the mayor didn't retract anything at all. Instead, he blamed the media for its reasonable interpretation of his words,” continued Dale.

“And, crucially, he didn't retract or specifically apologize for the categorically false, malicious, and in-itself-defamatory claim about me taking pictures of his young kids.

"I didn't ask for an “I apologize if.” I asked for an “I apologize because I said false, damaging, and unfounded things, and here they are."

"So: while I appreciate the mayor's first step, no dad or teacher would accept that apology as sufficient. I would appreciate another try."
 
Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!

After what happened behind Ford's backyard, Dale ain't gonna let Ford off the hook 'till he gets his pound of flesh (I'll leave the obvious joke there to someone else...). Can't say as I blame him for letting Ford roast a bit. God knows Ford would be gloating if the situation was reversed.

I'm not even sure why Ford offered his half-assed apology. Best guess is his lawyer told him "So, you're basically a dead duck if this goes to trial. Start grovelling unless you want to send Dale's kids to college." Understandably, that didn't sit well with Fordo, so the "apology" he tossed off was about the best he could manage.
