So, how did Trudeau persuade the provinces to join his funding for mental health proposal? Do it or suffer the consequences of no additional funding. Isn't that the kind of thing O'Leary is referring to? It didn't take long before all but one of the provinces fell into line. Historically, the provinces are pussy-cats when money is involved. That's why Harper gave them the cash and told them to figure out how best to spend it. Trudeau offers money and tells them how to spend it. As far as health care is concerned both systems work equally well, but the result of both is snail's pace upgrading. Bombasts like O'Leary are not my choice for PM. Chong, a Trudeau Conservative clone, would be a much better choice; he's an original thinker and he looks good on TV.
