We’ve heard this all before.
I’d love to see some new faces in these parties
‘their plans’ never include how it gets paid for.
@Brad Haaf You mean like giving 400 million to Brafasco to help them reduce their reliance on coal? A company worth 5 Billion Dollars..
“Amazon”
@Albert N Mexico will pay for it lol..
A vote for NDP is a vote for Liberals.
The trillionaires and mega trillionaires will pay for it.
Hey it’s that guy who lost half of his parties seats in the last national election and he’s still employed. The wonders never cease.
Thanks to Quebec
Come up with ideas to balance the budget not spending on Debt.
A healthy worker is a busy worker who can pay taxes
It’s all more more more. All the time.
I Don’t know about you, But I DON’T pay my Mortgage with a Credit Card.
We must have a huge money tree behind the Parliament buildings
We can’t afford Medicare in it’s present model! We are borrowing billions of dollars to keep the present model going in Canada!!!!
We are now $1.1trillion in debt! Never a discussion of how to pay for all these programs!!!
If you actually did a quick research on YouTube, type universal pharmacare, you will see the Liberals own doctor saying we would save money if we implanted universal pharmacare
Since you sound like you know the solution why don’t you come up with a solution. Without that you are just another empty fart with nothing to offer.
My Blue Cross for my wife and I is $400 a month, how in the hell is the taxpayers going to pay what it would cost to give everyone free medication coverage?
Buy some magic beans, grow a massive beanstalk, climb it and get a goose that lays golden eggs.
The same way we pay for the rest of our healthcare. Using a tiny portion of our taxes, we’ll no longer have to pay ridiculous upfront fees.
The gov can negotiate through buying power just like they do for purchasing drugs under ODB (for Ontario).
So Canada is coming up to a trillion in dept, so how are we paying for this?
Who will pay for this? Tax payers, that’s who
he must be getting big money for that eh! he wont be getting my vote nor anyone I know !
I would like to see Income Tax basic exemption increased to $50,000 or more.
singh rubs off as a phoney i mean look how many photo ops he’s been in already, he’s just as bad as Trudeau
We all suffer from pain. It’s called – getting old.
Bahahahah. WTF! What does that have to do with Pharmacare?
There’s a safe and affordable medication with little to no side affects that would significantly improve her quality of life, ability to care for her children and family, and her ability to earn money and therefor contribute to both the economy and government via taxes, and has the potential to get her off welfare/disability. And your response is “You’re old you deserve to suffer”? What is wrong with you? Not only is it disgustingly immoral but also extremely fiscally irresponsible, you’re suggesting we throw away hundreds of thousands of dollars whilst condemning a mother to a life of unnecessary pain. Use your brain please!
There oughta be a law. Grandstanding is a NDP specialty. They’re little more than a one trick pony. The only thing mentioned when how to afford paying for anything is mentioned is their lament :If the tax cheats among the rich would pay their fair share we’d have tons and tons of money.
Classic! All this money just falling from the heavens!
Talk about out of touch.
So rather than encourage big business, which pays these benefits to their employers; He forces them to leave through over taxation…
Always the same old story with him. Vote Conservative for the best future!
I can’t afford a Ferrari, everyone deserves one
Won’t that just make pharma companies jack the price since they government guarantees it? Whatever. I guess our kids will just pay for it.
