Hospitals N'Such
Everything from Labrador only going to Labrador is never going to happen. With that said, and in working under a provincial structure where the government is responsible for the entire population of NL, it should be our goal to ensure that Labrador gets credit for their resource and people contributions, and in the fulfilling of promises that Danny Williams made which helped to get him elected.
Of paramount importance, satisfying the hospital and medical needs of Labrador's central community. What I mean by that is; it has become an unruly topic based solely on geographical boundaries and location when any of these "central" discussions unfold. Face it, St. John's (and surrounding area) has (and will continue to have in the near and probably distant future) the lion's share "and centre" of this province's population. Thus the biggest and the best equipment is going there. St. John's et al also has the most appealing lifestyle to the majority of citizens in this diverse province. It doesn't matter if you personally don't ever wish to even visit St. Johns, NL. That's just the way it is. So in our attempt to spread the wealth to best spend money to put it where the most people in this province can get access to it, we put it in St. John's.
Duplicating specialty equipment which is not often required in Goose Bay and Lab City or even Deer Lake and Cornerbrook is a waste of resources. However, whenever anybody from around this entire province is prescribed a test or diagnostic procedure that requires them to go to St. John's, a certain formula based on the family income should be used to calculate how much of the roundtrip the province, and the majority corporation stakeholders who require people to live and work in remote areas with less than ideal medical resources, should be willing (or forced) to cover these travel expenses. Social responsibility demands it.
Hell I can open a whole new can of worms by stating that anybody who goes out on a boat, or climbs a mountain or takes a trek in the nature does so at their own risk and peril. Get rid of the Coast Guard, fold Search and Rescue and save billions! While we're at it, let's see if the Liberals are going to pay back sponsorship scandal monies. Yeah didn't think so...
Make medical treatment fair and impartial based on geographical locations!
