@KenBoessenkool Money, honey. Fiscal federalism and all that. As you know.

@bmasonNDP Nice to see a New Democrat sound so fiscally conservative!

@KenBoessenkool Ironically? Or maybe just… Aaaand…

@KenBoessenkool bet a fiver they will now 😉

@KenBoessenkool it's a good thing, then, that the feds took the leadership to implement universal health care, working with the provinces. y'know, instead of leaving it up the provinces to not do it

@KenBoessenkool Only the federal government has the fiscal capacity to pay for these programs. That was how Medicare was established. This allows national standards and portability in areas that are constitutionally the responsibility of the provinces.

@KenBoessenkool In BC we don’t even have regular public health care with our NDP government. Massive family doctor shortage. Who knows how many diseases will be late diagnoses as a result, and only a matter of time until we start seeing outcome statistics reflect that.

@KenBoessenkool

@KenBoessenkool It's going to take both federal and provincial effort, obviously.

@KenBoessenkool I think Justin just convinced Jagmeet that "Tax the rich" sounds a lot better if you hear it as "Take their gifts'.

@KenBoessenkool Now do child care Ken.

@KenBoessenkool You have an issue with the NDP, federal over reach, provincial ineptitude or the medical system and our expectations
