I read an article in the paper that Stephen Harper is going to spend millions of dollars for rinks, libraries and pools. I am shocked.

 When is he going to get his priorities straight and fix the much-needed health system that is desperately in need of care for the patients? Some patients have to spend days in the emergency room waiting to get a bed on the ward. Now that is a disgrace.

 The health system should be the first on the list. The rest can wait, but the sick people can't. They need the tender loving care of nurses and doctors, of whom there aren't enough to go around.
