BC Liberal candidate Linda Reimer's comments on privatizing BC's healthcare system and the fentanyl crisis caused the audience to gasp out loud.
Incumbent BC Liberal candidate Linda Reimer seems to have a knack for making rooms full of voters gasp out loud.
During a debate hosted by the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce in the BC riding of Port Moody-Coquitlam Thursday night, Reimer surprised many when she said she supports privatizing healthcare āfor those who are able to afford itā ā in other words, the wealthy:
āI do support the privatization to a certain extent of our healthcare system. I think that choice is always good for people and I myself have had a surgery in the private healthcare system [ā¦] and so I do support some choice for those who are able to afford it.ā
In response, BC NDP candidate Rick Glumac blasted Reimerās support for two-tier healthcare, arguing that prioritizing patients ājust because they have more moneyā goes against āmy Canadian valuesā:
āThat right there, if thereās no other reason to not vote Liberal, thatās it right there because that is frightening.ā

Now, bear in mind, just because the word Liberal is in the name of the political party, does not reflect the progressive views pertaining to liberal causes. The Liberal Party of Canada is actually a centre-right party that is splintered from the national Conservative Party of Canada.
This is not true.
The Liberal Party of Canada is a Centre-Left party (although it can be argued that theyāre becoming more Centre-right under Trudeau). It is a federal party.
The BC Liberals have no relationship to the Federal Liberals. They are a Centre-Right to Right Wing party.
Neither party is associated with the Conservative Party of Canada.
Youāre absolutely correct. I actually mixed up the Liberal Party of Canada with the British Columbia Liberal Party. For that, I do acknowledge that I am wrong about that.
I wish to ask youā¦how is the Liberal Party of Canada becoming more centre-right, especially hearing about the legalization of marijuana. Aside from supporting the pipeline, what sort of measures that could be deemed centre-right?
-Trudeau considering selling our ports & airports.
-Trudeau is pushing an infrastructure bank, which is going to privatize public infrastructure.
-Trudeau selling weapons to Saudi Arabia.
-Trudeau approving 3 huge oil pipelines and happy about Donald Trumpās approval of Keystone XL.
-Despite making it pretty clear before the election that communities and First Nations would need to give consent for projects, Trudeau has backtracked and now says that this is no longer true.
-Justin Trudeau bailing out Bombardier with millions, doesnāt care that their CEOās are getting huge bonuses as theyāre laying off thousands of workers.
-Their Marijuana legislation is filled with harsh penalties, and it is not true legalization. There will be limits on the amount you can grow and carry (and if you exceed these limits you can be arrested or charged), and new harsh penalties related to youth & driving under the influence.
-Justin Trudeauās government is refusing to pay First Nations children equally, despite the Human Rights Commission sending him notices saying he has to.
-Justin Trudeauās government is still underfunding First Nations education.
-Justin Trudeau supports Donald Trumpās bombing of Syria.
-Justin Trudeau is in favour of Regime Change in Syria, which many feel could escalate violence in that region.
-Justin Trudeau has not ruled out sending the military into Syria.
-Justin Trudeau is refusing to change theĀ āSafe Third Countryā agreement to help refugees fleeing the USA.
-Justin Trudeau is refusing to fund a basic income pilot project on PEI.
-Justin Trudeau abandoned electoral reform and has stuck with the First Past the Post system (a system the Conservative Party of Canada also supports).
-Justin Trudeau refuses to decriminalize marijuana in the meantime. Cops will arrest thousands more people for marijuana possession before 2018.
-Justin Trudeau is refusing to pardon anyone for marijuana possession despite knowing full well how harmful this can be for people job searching or crossing the border.
-Justin Trudeau is not in favour of a $15/hour minimum wage.
-Despite his feminist rhetoric, Status of Women Canada received no new funding in the 2017 budget.
-Justin Trudeau broke a campaign promise to close a tax loophole that largely benefits millionaire CEOās.
-Justin Trudeau is breaking indigenous rights to consent with permits given on the Site C Dam and Kinder Morgan Oil Pipeline.
-Justin Trudeauās tax cut for the middle cut, benefits the top 10% of income earners the most. Those making under $40,000 per year get nothing.
-Justin Trudeau still hasnāt changed or repealed the draconian anti-terrorism bill, Bill C-51.
-Despite a push from the NDP, Trudeau is refusing to expand our healthcare system to cover things like Pharmacare.
-Justin Trudeau is maintaining Stephen Harperās cuts to healthcare transfers.
-Justin Trudeau is maintaining Stephen Harperās weak climate change targets.
-Justin Trudeau wants to delay a promise to cut methane (a potent greenhouse gas) emissions for 3 years or more.
I could go on and on. Thereās plenty more.
Actually, I would love to hear more. If you have time, I would like for you to speak more on this. As a leftist, myself, everything you told me is rather alarming and problematic. To think that maybe some true leftist policies could help benefit Canada, it looks like there is little change in this administration. That is disappointing. My best friend is Canadian and she admires him a lot without really knowing anything pertaining to politics. What kills me is that Trudeau isnāt much of a progressive. Whether this is just dealing with Trump and his adminstration just to prevent Canada to have strained relations, or he is missing a few kinks in his cogs, this is rather disappointing.
A lot of people hear about Trudeau and a few of his policies and think he represents Canadaās left. He doesnāt.
Justin Trudeauās party is a party of centrists. They dabble in the right, and a bit of the left. But theyāre far from Canadaās most progressive major party.
The more progressive Canadian parties in Canada are the NDP (New Democratic Party) and The Green Party. I like the NDP a lot, and unlike the Greens they have enough public support that they could get elected as a government.
The NDP proposes things like: $15/minimum wage, changing our electoral system to proportional representation, free college tuition, opposition to oil pipelines, strengthening labour rights, expanding Canadaās healthcare system (to cover things like medicine or dental or mental health), taxing the rich more, stronger anti-poverty policies, a national affordable childcare programs, LGBTQ & Womenās rights and more.
The Green Party is focused on the environment but they also support fairly progressive stances like a basic income, free university, etc.
remember that the BC vote is May 9th! The NDP have a pretty decent shot at taking the province, especially if young people get out and vote
Latest poll in British Columbia:
Please vote on May 9th!

āI saw this posted on the mailbox in front of my apartment in the McGill Ghetto (on University). If you see one around campus or anywhere in the city, please tear it down. This sort of bigotry/ignorance/hatefulness/grossness will not be tolerated. (The websites on the poster have been covered so as to not publicize whatever racist campaign these people have going on).ā
