South where global warming is 12 months a year not just 3 -4.
Belize, Costa Rica Panama come to mind right now.

Standard fare --- start sacrificing a granny a day on the steps of the legislature. Why throw out scare statements right off the bat. Why not seriously bench mark and examine areas in the system that do not compare on a cost basis to other provinces.

How about we just get health care down to the same per capita as BC or Ont. The cuts could be done within the endless committees and senior management position's that AHS has in place (seriously). Not to the front line workers. Yes I do know what I am saying on this, as unfortunately I have to deal with the no decision today people on a regular basis.
