43. Our health care is because of a national law.
I'm really no too worried about that. It's the "third rail" of Canadian politics. Even Harper isn't that stupid to screw with it. Our system works.

No, I'm worried about corporate taxes (which was the trigger of this election) and destruction of our social safety net and government jobs. Since I'm a government worker, I'm doubly worried.

I'm not confident that Premiers could make a difference, since they depend on transfer payments from the feds. But a coordinated effort COULD give them some power.

I hope it never comes to that point.

Thanks for your words and support.
