The federal government’s offer this week of $196 billion over 10 years to the provinces and territories in additional federal contributions to health-care spending was really only a very modest increase on what was already known to be forthcoming under existing arrangements. It is, as it has been widely described, including by the federal government’s enablers in the NDP, a quantitatively inadequate, profoundly unimaginative and dangerously superficial approach to a mortal threat to our health-care system.
All middle-aged Canadians have witnessed, though it has been severely under-publicized in the generally mediocre and parochial media of this country, the descent of Canada from being comparable per capita in prosperity to the United States to a position where often, it barely cracks the top 20 in global rankings. We have been bypassed by countries with small populations and negligible resources, which within living memory were in a chronically underdeveloped or war-ravaged condition, such as the Netherlands and Belgium
