Whew that was close

It seems all the worry about the Harpers asthma attack was for not.

Harper illness prompts false asthma report, raises issue of political privacy

He hasn't had asthma since he was a kid. Whew. Had me worried there.

But he did check into a local hospital emergency ward for antibiotics, he had a chest cold and didn't want it to turn into pneumonia. Just walked into the public hospital and waited in Emegency. Just like that.

Harper treated in Ottawa hospital

Damn good system we have here with socialized medicine. Just walked into the hospital and got service. No HMO's, no extra billing, no credit card, no getting kicked out cause you don't have any of those things.

Nope he just walked into the hospital. The PM designate of Canada. Just like any other Canadian.

For now.

New Conservative Gov't Issues Warning to Alberta
Friday, January 27, 2006 9:05 PM

A spokesman for the incoming Conservative Government says Alberta can go ahead with all the health reforms it likes.

But William Stairs says the province must stay within the rules of the Canada Health Act.

Stairs was responding Friday to suggestions by Alberta Premier Ralph Klein that some of the province's reforms might violate the federal legislation.

Stairs says Stephen Harper has made his position clear - "any changes should be made within the Canada Health Act."
