Baneful legacy: medicare and Mr. Trudeau: the Constitution created by the Trudeau government is now threatening Canada's medicare system. What can be done to defend it?
Well, the bomb ticking away at the heart of Mr. Trudeau’s Constitution has finally gone off. An arrogant, ignorant and irresponsible court – jurisdictionally arrogant, substantively ignorant and politically irresponsible – has determined (by a vote of four to three) that medicare must be restructured to show due respect for the rights of those with money – and the rights of private corporations to make profits – regardless of the wishes of Canadians or the impact on our most important social institution. Fiat justitia, ruat caela. But if the heavens fall, what kind of justice is that? Ask those underneath.
