Here we go again. This time H1N1

To quote Yogi Berra . "It's Deja-vu all over again". First HIV in the blood then Hep C in the blood and with the H1N1 pandemic looming the Canadian Governments are, once again showing their total inability to deal with any type of crises.Who should be vaccinated? Depends on what province you live in. How is the vaccine given out? Haphazardly instead of through private physicians. How much vaccine is available? No where near enough. Who are the busiest people involved in this? The spin doctors.
Knowing the Governments' past record we can be sure of a few things. The job will never be fully and properly done. Canadians will die needlessly and, somewhere down the line, a group of class action lawyers will become instant multi-millionaires rubber stamping some government compensation deal.

In the mean time there will be no problem finding money like the $4 billion Ottawa spent trying to buy a seat or two in Quebec by-elections. Money to run be-elections because politicians quit after being elected Andrew Younger and Rodney MacDonald to mention a couple). The millions spent by provincial and civic politicians under the title "discretionary spending" where public funds are passed out by politicians with no public scrutiny or accountability.

It never fails to amaze me the money that's available for this list while the blood supply was allowed to run unprotected, health care regularly declines, user fees expand their base and increase in amounts and taxes on your home increase annually.

If you are happy with the taxes you pay and the services you receive for those taxes fine if you are not get on the phone, fax machine or e mail and tell them. I ran for council last year and one thing I heard frequently was, "I don't vote you're all the same". Here's the NDP's chance to prove they are better. Get the vaccine out....to everybody. Yes everybody! Despite what the spin doctors are telling us people that, according to them, don't have to be vaccinated, are dying from swine flu on a regular basis.

To contact any member of city council or other political leaders simple click on their name on the left speak up now. Tell them enough is enough to get their acts together.
