Trudeau just announced a plan to introduce a national dental care plan. This would start with coverage for people under 18, people with disabilities and seniors.
Thoughts?
The first Canadian politician I ever spoke to spoke of a dream...that soon, all Canadians would have FULL medical coverage, including dental...
His name as Thomas C. Douglas and he was speaking in my home town of Waterloo, Ontario. It was 1966.
My reaction this is Bravo Trudeau! It's about ****ing time!
I am also told he is sitting on a developing plan to increase incomes of seniors, me, and to bolster the already in place programs.
Every government in Canada is dipping into every well to find $ to help stave off this atomic rocket inflation (water melon 300% in 3 weeks!) except mine. In British Columbia the so called socialist NDP has a $2 billion SURPLUS, and some seniors, including me, have been gouged by a 100% increase in BC Pharmacare deductibles.
There is a lot of hostility toward Trudeau. I don't know why. His father was so hated in the west maybe its the name. I have met him, he is one of few politicians who listens. He is NOT his father's son in most ways, he is Margaret's son, a gentle, creative soul who pioneered the way for mental illness among women in the early 70's.
The country is as united as ever and the only real political divide is in every country....climate change. He is instituting a carbon tax in tiers & any anti carbon measure in Canada gets an automatic 60 % for.
Sometimes I am convinced that politics is not a science at all, but a result of random idiocy among the so called 'informed voters"
