		<description>As a Yank, I'm envious of anything that resembles an equitable healthcare system, and not even close to qualified to comment on it.

But I do know that my family would have never clawed its way into the middle class if it weren't for unions, and that the decline of unions in the U.S. has coincided with the shrinking of the middle class and the growth of the lower one.  

That's not to say that unions have never abused their power, but I think that the threat of unionization is one of the things that keeps employers (who otherwise enjoy the lion's share of the power in the employer/employee relationship in most locales) offering attractive working conditions.</description>

		<description>I don't really understand what you mean by 2tier system. But healthcare is a provincial juridiction, wich means that technically, federal government doesn't have a word to say about it.

Quebec was not granted the status of nation, that was just a statement, that has no political or judicial attachment to it. A nation has much more liberty to deal with its issue.

Quebec's economy is doing great and would be doing just as good if it were to separate. That's one of the many unproven spooks of federalist: In case of separation, Quebec would go bankrupt. Wich is soooo absurd.</description>

		<description>The QuÃ©becois/Canadien debate is an interesting one... and for someone who grew up in Scotland with a Scots dad, allthe while living in a country calle dthe United Kingdom, I have some sympathy with Phil et al who are attached to their identity. I still feel intrinsically Scottish. 

But we were lucky. The Scots people were granted 'nation' status many many years ago, in much the same way the the QuÃ©becois(e) have been given that title recently, so I grew up understanding that although we were part of a larger scheme, we were still Scottish, and all I had to do to prove that was to open my mouth, or wear a kilt or something. Everything else about being a part of a nation took care of itself in it's culture, humour, and everything else that goes with it. 

Recently, Alex Salmond who is the leader of the Scottish National Party has been campaigning for full independence for Scotland on the 300th Anniversary of the Treaty of the Union. ...and to what end? 

The very same question I would ask to QuÃ©becois(e) who wish to seperate? Where does the 2 tier system go if that happens? How does a health system start again? Because, it would essentially have to. Not to mention an economy... And for what? 

A sense of identity? 

Maybe I don't fully understand the ins and outs of QuÃ©becs 'persecution'... but I grew up with the same history...

I guess this is a long winded and probably misplaced statement to agree with MJ completely. 

Unfortunately reality and sentiment are two entirely different species.</description>

		<description>One myth I see with regards to public vs. private health care systems is that long wait times are a necessary part of the former but not the latter.  This is a lie.  You can have long wait times in either system if it is underfunded.  We slashed the crap out of medicare in the 80s and 90s and now we're "shocked, just shocked!" that it doesn't work very well.  I think I am the only person who wants to pay more taxes and get better services for it.  Canada is on a course to become a meaner, harsher society because people have forgotten how it got so good here in the first place.  

I always think of 19th century England, where wealth disparity was so severe that poor women routinely abandoned their babies.  This was so common that churches had little "mail shoots" for putting abandoned babies in.  Now Italy and Japan have recently instituted modern versions of the same thing.  The rich of Victorian England only decided to do something about their social problem (set up tax-funded orphanages) once they got tired of stepping over dead babies in the street.  This "competition for competition's sake" thing has a way of snowballing because the winners have more power and therefore make the situation more competitive until you get abysmal conditions for the losers.  I see that happening slowly in Canada.</description>

		<description>Si les mÃ©decins arrÃªtaient de se la jouer Ã©llitiste, d'abord et ouvraient un peu plus les portes de leurs Ã©coles, une grosse partie du problÃ¨me serait rÃ©glÃ©e. Le manque de mÃ©decins de famille, c'est pas le privÃ© qui va le rÃ©soudre. Or il n'existe pas de meilleur indicateur de la santÃ© gÃ©nÃ©rale d'une sociÃ©tÃ© que l'Ã©tat de sa mÃ©decine de premiÃ¨re ligne.</description>

		<description>C'est vraiment un drÃ´le de sentiment de se sentir left out, comme Ã§a. Surtout que c'est tout Ã  fait erronnÃ©. J'essais de comprendre comment tu peux te sentir left out du "social dream". Le systÃ¨me de santÃ©, justement, tu y as autant droit qu'un millionnaire ou qu'un assistÃ© social. T'es pas allÃ© Ã  l'Ã©cole toi? Pas fait genre... deux bacs? Si t'es allÃ© au privÃ© (qui est tout de mÃªme majoritairement financÃ© par le public), c'Ã©tait ton choix. Et personnellement, pour avoir Ã©tÃ© Ã  l'Ã©cole privÃ© et public au secondaire et au primaire, je peux te dire que l'association privÃ©=meilleur Ã©ducation est un grand mythe. Mais c'est une autre histoire.

Ensuite, c'est vraiment facile de dÃ©crier le systÃ¨me de santÃ©. Mais chaque fois que mon entourage y a fait appel, que ce soit lors du cancer de mon pÃ¨re ou de la dÃ©pression d'Audrey ou des inquiÃ©tudes de ma mÃ¨re devant un hypothÃ©tique cancer du sein (justement), le systÃ¨me a rÃ©pondu de faÃ§on rapide, adÃ©quate, sans que qui que ce soit dÃ©clare faillite. Il faut aussi arrÃªter de considÃ©rer que tout le systÃ¨me est pourri. Je dÃ©teste cette expression, mais c'est vraiment un cas de jeter le bÃ©bÃ© avec l'eau du bain. Certes, il y a matiÃ¨re Ã  amÃ©lioration, certes il faut se dÃ©barasser de certains dogmes qui persistent. Mais il faut aussi arrÃªter de penser que le salut est dans le privÃ©. La santÃ©, c'est un domaine qui ne devrait jamais Ãªtre associÃ© au concept de profits.

Si on met de cÃ´tÃ© la santÃ© et l'Ã©ducation, ne pas avoir besoin du filet social qu'offre notre sociÃ©tÃ© est une vÃ©ritable bÃ©nÃ©diction. Parce que tu n'as pas besoin d'aide sociale, tu ne devrais pas y contribuer? Le jour oÃ¹ tu en auras besoin, elle sera lÃ  pour toi... et tant mieux si ce jour n'arrive jamais.

Mais j'aimerais vraiment savoir en quoi tu te sens exclu du filet social

Pat, pour ce qui est du sentiment nationaliste/patriotique, l'expliquer est une chose assez complexe et fastitieuse. "Et je n'ai pas compris ce qui fait que tu n'est pas Canadien" et moi je n'ai pas compris ce qui fait que tu l'es. Si tu tiens Ã  le savoir parcontre, Ã§a tourne Ã©normÃ©ment autour de la question de la langue et de la culture. Je n'ai strictement aucune rÃ©fÃ©rence culturelle commune avec un Canadien. Ou enfin, toutes celles que j'aurais, je les aurais aussi bien avec un AmÃ©ricain. Que je me rende au fin fond du Lac-Saint-Jean ou de la GaspÃ©sie, je me retrouve quand mÃªme avec des gens de mon peuple, des gens qui parlent la mÃªme langue que moi et qui ont pratiquement toutes les mÃªmes rÃ©fÃ©rences culturelles. La culture canadienne, pour ce qu'elle est, je n'y connais que dalle. Et les Canadiens n'ont aucune idÃ©e de ce qui se passe ici. Sure, je connais (et j'adore) Joni Mitchell, mais de la mÃªme faÃ§on qu'un AmÃ©ricain la connaÃ®trait. C'est Ã§a qui crÃ©e le sentiment d'appartenance Ã  un peuple. Est-ce que ceci justifie une sÃ©paration du Canada? Pas tout Ã  fait, mais combinÃ© Ã  la question constitutionnelle, absolument. C'est facile de dire qu'il s'agit d'un vieux dÃ©bat, en s'enfonÃ§ant la tÃªte bien creux dans le sable. C'est un dÃ©bat qui a exactement mon Ã¢ge en fait!

Le fait de vivre au sein d'un pays sans jamais en avoir reconnu la constitution est un problÃ¨me de taille. Et malgrÃ© plusieurs tentatives, on n'est jamais passÃ© mÃªme proche de s'entendre sur la question. Les QuÃ©bÃ©cois ont fait preuve d'ouverture, c'Ã©tait le "beau risque" de RenÃ© LÃ©vesque. Mais Ã§a a donnÃ© l'accord du Lac Meech et la suite qu'on connaÃ®t.</description>

		<description>"Ideally, the â€œbetter paidâ€ would be so because they truly deserve it, because they contribute the most to the whole. Ideally, there would be true inducements to social contribution (not just contribution through procreation)."

Hey, that's a lot of idealism! You are starting to sound like a member of QuÃ©bec Solidaire! (see Philippe-A's post...)

But it's nice to know that you still have idealism in you. It makes me a little less scared. ;-)</description>
