    Tbf as much as I hate cons, when the liberals or ndp take power, they rarely reinstate the cuts.

    Recently I’ve had issues with my back that requires physio, plantar fasciitis which requires a foot doctor, medication for anxiety, and a skin condition that requires a dermatologist.

    None of my issues are covered by Ohip. Not physio to heal me, not a podiatrist to fix my feet, not the meds, not the dermatologist.

    It’s like what do I even pay taxes for at this point if nothing is covered. How is it better or cheaper for the government that I go on disability and take welfare, instead of them just paying for my healthcare so I can do my job?

      [To be fair,] as much as I hate cons,

      And then you slam the cons the entire time.

      If you want better care, ensure you’re voting for better care than the cons. Get your friends on board with the idea of voting in better government if they aren’t already.

        I’ve voted for liberal and ndp throughout my life. I’m happy they won but they didn’t end up helping me one bit. I would never vote conservative, but I can see how people would, when the liberals and ndp are also all talk

        Honestly, sounds fair to the cons to me - the Liberals clearly suck and the NDP has been out of power long enough that I can’t tell if they’ll suck or not (I hope they won’t though)… but neither comes close to the astronomical levels of shit eating the CPC manages. The comment above was rather generous to the CPC.

          The NDP has never been in power federally. Why do people think otherwise?
