It recent years the Canadian identity has been linked to our public monopoly health care system. Now that it has been deemed unconstititional for Quebec how long before we have a two-tier health care system throughout Canada? How does this effect Da Canadian values. Do the Liberals become the champions of two-tier health care overnight?
Did anyone see this ruling coming?
Oh and another thing. Why is at that Judges are making all the important decisions in Canada? It makes you wonder why we have a Parliament in the first place.
Update: Damian Penny and Bob Tarantino,
who are both lawyers, have commented on the decision. I am apted to agree with Bob on this one.
...Canadian conservatives should be wary: we may have achieved what we perceive to be a desirable goal, but at the expense of the entrenchment of a line of judicial reasoning which is perhaps anathema to what we consider a proper interaction between the courts and the legislature.
As I say above, these decisions belong in Parliament not with the Judiciary. I don't want Judges making important descisions on the shape and future of Canada regardless on whether the descision favours the "left" or the "right".
