She isn't evil, she's just unqualified for any top political job. The only reason she became governor was because of looks and a chirpy personality.

Depends on where you lived I guess.
You guys still had some changes in store in 1970

In bureaucracy, not concept. It had to do with government concepts like DREE (Department of Regional Economic Expansion) that took money from the "have" Provinces, in order to shore up the "have not" Provinces. In practise this meant taking out more money from Ontario and Quebec than was necessary, then redistributing it among all Provinces as a fund for specific projects, like Provincially funded health care.

I'm generally opposed to having someone else have a job because they take and then hold on to my money, so that they can give it back to me at a later date. My preference is that when it isn't necessary to take the money in the first place, they don't.

Thats the thing about political jobs
You don't have to be qualified in anything.

Primarily because people have confused it with celebrity.

In 2008 I went ape shit learning the intracasies of health care systems but have allowed 97% of that leak out of my ass (since for me there is no practical use for this knowledge and living in the US...such information is frowned upon ).

I really didn't go to deep into Canada because...well I don't know. Other systems just seemed more interesting at the time.

If we are planning more health care discussions concerning the Canadian system.
I'm going to need to brush up.
Thats all I'm saying.

The same could be said for almost ANY job, except a handful of situations like lawyers who HAVE to have a law degree or doctors who HAVE to have a medical degree, or like a pilot where you need to have a certain number of hours flying a certain type of plane.

The difference is, politicians can actually affect the lives of the people, so one would hope they have some qualifications & knowledge.

What you'll learn is something that the American Right hasn't gotten yet; we don't have a national health care system. What we have is a national health care POLICY, that is expressed in as many ways as we have Provinces and Territories. The mandate is a single-payer system. How that system is expressed is up to the individual governments to decide.

Certainly there are common threads to it in the various jurisdictions, but that's largely because there are certain models that meet the mandate better than others. How the Federal money is spent is up to the Provinces to determine, as long as it goes to meeting the requirements of health care.

From what I recall, what we think of as nationalized health care exists (at least in the developed world) in only one place.

Actually they have a two-tier health care system; parallel pay-for care and socialized medicine. France is the nearest likely analogue, from what I recall of their system.

In the UK, doctors are state employees and Hospitals are state intitutions.
I can't recall how many private docs\clinics there are.

In France?
