Pay your own freight

When did we lose the belief that we have to look after ourselves?

I bet you can’t count the number of times you have heard someone brag about how their family came to this country with nothing, never asked for a dime, worked their immigrant butts off to make something of themselves. Or it’s a single mom working, raising kids, putting them through university. Sometimes there are tears of pride, and deservedly so.

We don’t want to do that anymore.

Now we want someone else to pick up the slack created by the unequal weight of our pull on the desire end of the rope versus the accountability end.

    The comment that eHealth and ORNGE were started under Harris has been on here a few times, so let's get that straight.

    eHealth Ontario was created in September 2008, and was a a scandal under Smitherman.

    The air ambulance system was started in 1977, but the operation that has received the criticism and is under investigation now was due to changes that were the responsibility of McGuinty and Smitherman. That is what is being reviewed now.

      @Jerry Agar Just curious why Agar hasn't try to refute the first posting. Not the first time this Teabag wingnut has been totally wrong with his "facts".

      @SteveB_10 Steve, your links are a joke. The first one, wikipedia on ehealth supports Jerry 100% here is a quote one of the citations:
      Caplan quit because of what will be in the provincial auditor general's report, which is expected to detail the $1 billion Ontario has spent over 10 years trying to create electronic health records, sources told The Canadian Press.
      http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2009/10/06/caplan-health-minister-resign641.html
      The other is a link to a site promoting the book "Fight the Right" and only contains vague comments. You accuse Jerry of bias! You are being ridiculous.
