    Lol, clearly you didn’t actually read the pharmacare bill. It doesn’t get us pharmacare, it gets us a study, an option to enter into agreements with the provinces (on an individual basis) and an uncertain amount of funding.

    And this is ignoring the fact that about 2/3 of Canadians already have dental benefits and ~50% have drug plans… so yeah, maybe those items aren’t quite as big of a win as you thought.

    Also, I’m not sure which party you are referring to that wants to help Canadians, because the Liberals clearly don’t and the NDP obviously have no interest in holding the Liberals accountable for their many fuck-ups.

      Oh yeah, fuck the other 1/3rd of Canadians without dental and the half that don’t have drug plans I guess. You got yours so the other half of Canadians should pull themselves up by their bootstraps I guess.

        Sorry, but if I giving money to what’s essentially a charity cause I want to do it on my terms (like I already do for several charities) not the governments, that way I get some say about meeting my own needs rather and giving what I can actually afford instead of getting fucked by taxes and inflation and having useless government bureaucrats siphon off money for themselves.
