Canadians now get their own death panel!
At least, if you want to take the word of one liberal president Alfred Apps as golden. He let fly with an email on Monday, escentially stating the conservatives would much rather let Canadians die than actually, you know, come out with a solid plan for distributing of the H1N1 vaccines to Canadians. Oh, he may very well be right–the plans for vaccinations could have probably been much better executed than they have been, particularly last week. But he overlooks one very minor detail. That detail, rather abruptly, was rather pointed out to him in a direct reply email–from another liberal party member.
Based on all reports the roll out has been an unmitigated disaster. It appears provincial health officials couldn’t organize a two car parade!!
Yep, even some level-headed liberals who still have 3 functioning brain cells are putting responsibility for distribution exactly where it needs to be–on the shoulders of provincial governments. Some of which, naturally, are also liberal. Oops. Keep trying, Alf. You’ll catch on someday.
For his part, Michael Ignatieff is pretty much… well, um… doing exactly the same thing–pinning the absolute mess of a provincial distribution system on the conservatives. He, his health critic, and the NDP’s Jack Layton himself stood up in Monday night’s emergency debate, demanding the federal health minister take responsibility for the failure. because, you know, the federal government has all kinds of controll over Canada’s provincial health system. Well, at least their consistent. Not necessarily right, but since when has that ever stopped them?
