The conservative floor crosser who was like a well-known social conservative.
And probably, well, the conservatives themselves did not expect Marilyn Gladue to cross because they thought she was far too conservative and the liberals would not want her.
It's not just on the environment, I think, is where the key point is.
And there has not been a ton of critical coverage, but when you looked at the fiscal update and you realized PharmaCare is dead, the government has no intention of continuing this program, that unless there's a lot of public pressure, childcare, the vision that Chrystia Freeland put in the window,
although the government keeps talking about it, they're not putting the dollars there.
Where you know that when they see a priority area, they have no problem spending the money.
I mean, we have crazy deficits.
Where they're not signaling, at least in the fiscal plan at the moment, that they plan to beef up health care spending.
In fact, they're sunsetting programs on mental health, on long-term care, on home care.
It's the cuts to the interim federal health program.
So, you know, we talked about
in the last segment about the Pope, you know, part of the message on AI, there's a section on how we should be really kind to refugees and asylum seekers.
And that's what God would want us to do to treat people as humans.
And now we have the government deciding in a complete reversal to the Justin Trudeau liberals who came in saying what Stephen Harper wants to do on this very program is
is inhumane and we are going to reverse it.
And they did.
Now the government has introduced copays.
The doctors say this is a denial of care because, you know, some most refugees cannot afford to pay, let's say, $300 a month for a feeding tube for their child that has cerebral palsy.
And so that kid's going to end up in the hospital or die.
And if it ends up in the hospital, it's going to cost taxpayers a hell of a lot more than $300 a month for that copay.
