    Both my parents are gone now but the way you’re describing things … we’re next in line for that elderly care.

    My worry is, what the hell is going to be left for people who are soon to become elderly?

    I’m in northern Ontario which often times feels no different than our Maritime cousins as all our services are going down the tubes.

    No matter what anyone says … I’ll always vote NDP … even as they wheel me away to my hallway to leave me to drool for hours, I’ll always vote for humanity no matter what anyone says.
