Kamloops radio station CHNL's motto is "news as it happens." But it seems, this morning, the broadcaster was a little behind the times. According to one of our astute readers, the station reported "Premier Gordon Campbell says today he plans to be all ears with an open mind as he and Health Minister George Abbott go visiting four European countries to find out how they are managed their healthcare systems - the premier pointing out that the only way to get some answers is to ask questions." Minister Abbott, of course, announced on Friday he wouldn't be going on that tour because "he wants to be in Victoria to receive first-hand a government report on what went wrong in the care of 91-year-old Fanny Albo of Rossland" - as reported on B1 of The Vancouver Sun this Saturday and by numerous other organs across the province.
Good old Radio NL, as pointless as it is anti-NDP.
I guess Abbott hasn't quite got the hang of using a telephone to talk to his DM. She of courser has returned and he is now awaiting her report. Should take till around Mid March when the house has two weeks off. Aint politics grand.
In the house today other familes names came forward with similar treatment of the older folks. No such thing as first available bed says Abbott. hard to believe, but he is a Minister and in the hose can't, supposedly not Mislead the house.
CKNL - home of endless reaction to the news "news" stories - generally from a business or anti-NDP/labour slant.
Excellent. RadioNl - News after it happens... if we happen to get things right..
