When is a loan not a loan

When it's given to a museum that's massively over budget, plans to operate deficits when it opens, and will never have the ability to pay it back.

All of Canada is paying for this shrine to the Asper family, and we are going to be stuck with a whie elephant - an ugly one at that.
Oh well I guess as long as the wine and cheese socialists have somewhere nice to make us all feel bad about ourselves.
Too bad that money wasn't used to actually help people in need, instead of cater to the rich elites like the Aspers.

Health care monopoly to end soon

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-life/life/health/group-wants-alberta-to-end-health-care-monopoly-and-allow-private-health-insurance-161949295.html Started in Quebec, the most socialist province in Canada. Now a group from Alberta is challenging laws on limiting health care. It will happen slowly but some day we will have health care as good as Europe has. It's not right to limit health care. Opening it up will create jobs, prevent Canadians from leaving Canada for health care and lessen pressure on the public system.
