Uneducated electorate

[c9]

You know what's unfortunate? The 31,990,000 Canadians (roughly) who won't bother to read the NDP's 2006 platform.

(it's also unfortunate that about 31,980,000 Canadians will also ignore the other parties' platforms.)

Well, I don't agree that the healthcare situation in Canada is as dire as you make it out to be, for one thing. But a two-tier healthcare system is less about healthcare than it is about the state-sactioned division of social classes in a society that is ideally supposed to be classless.

The rich are always the first to deny the existence of class warfare, while the poor can't do anything about it, and the (vanishing) middle-class finds itself increasingly marginalized.

Just like the case for equal marriage, "separate but equal" is neither.
