text: I don't agree with your specific list of corrections, but it might be best to permanently freeze real federal spending except to the type of funding the Liberals are offering to mental health & home care to jump start areas of chronic provincial neglect. Frankly, those controlling the spending (the provinces) should be accountable by providing more and more of the funding. The taxpayer is the same regardless, so this whole thing is mostly a provincial charade. This is especially true in the big provinces where they have the scale to manage all of the costs (though for the smaller ones the current funding is likely adequate at currently levels to address that issue. Ontario, Quebec, BC and Alberta have no scale issues.
