This is classic scapegoating — blaming refugees for a healthcare crisis caused by decades of underfunding and privatization.
These charges are cruel and punitive. We won’t fix a broken system by putting up new barriers for people who are already struggling.

Twitter is a litmus test for Canada
With Twitter, the medium really is the message — one that should be clearly unacceptable for our elected officials and political leaders.

But this negates adding.0.17% to the mill rate right?
So for shitz and giggles, let's say that's the only decrease we get to the mill rate. So 15.52% rather than 15.69% - in real money, that's a "saving" of 63cents a month. But for that saving, I have to spend an extra $6 on bus fare?
