First off, I'm grateful to Mario for proving me right as I had asserted towards the end of my previous post on this thread. Thank you Mario for being so predictable. Mario responds: Bosco, I am happy that you are grateful because you are so rarely correct on the issues. However, you were correct that I would respond, as I always do when rebutting unsubstantiated propaganda:-)) Bosco wrote: It usually takes 2 messages in any thread for Mario to bring out the heavy-weaponry, name-calling and abuse. Mario responds: I find it interesting that it is now considered "abuse" to call left-leaning, liberal individuals "left-leaning, liberal individuals". BTW, this was written in response to Bosco calling the Fraser Institute, a respected Canadian think tank, "...a right-leaning, conservative think-tank and registered charity." If I was engaged in abuse, then so was Bosco. Bosco wrote: When that happens, one can sit back and have a good laugh knowing fully well that Mario has lost the debate, if at all there was a debate. Mario responds: Bosco's notion of "winning a debate" is to respond to numerous well researched reports of rationing of health care in Canada by respected organizations and news sources by citing anecdotes and propaganda about the Canadian quality of life from his admittedly socialist cronies. Bosco wrote: Here is a sample of Mario's conventional wisdom: > accusing THEM of being biased, dishonest and "greedy" = personal > invective and snide slurs Keep that in mind folks every time you read Mario's messages. When Mario accuses somebody of being biased, it means he is directing being biased, dishonest and "greedy" = personal invective and snide slurs. Mario responds: What I described as biased and dishonest personal invective and snide slurs were the following comments by Bosco: a) The 'respected' Fraser Institute is a right-leaning, conservative think-tank and registered charity. It is a promoter of "greater private sector involvement in the delivery of health care insurance and services" [1] aka US-style of delivery of medicare. b) The 'respected' Fraser Institute has a luminous list of staffers. Among them Mike Harris, former Conservative Premier of Ontario, famous for ravaging the health-system in the province of Ontario during his two-terms in office in the 90s. c) Another infamous staffer is Preston Manning, founder of the far-right Reform Party of Canada (1987 - 2000) [2]. d) Nadeem Esmail is employed by the Fraser Institute. He is Director, Health System Performance Studies. He is employed by a conservative think-tank that opposes the government's role in delivering health care. e) Dr Brian Day, is the former president of the Canadian Medical Association. He is an advocate for privatizing health care. [3] [Bosco had previously described Dr. Day as "greedy" for being an advocate for privatizing health care in Canada] After accusing the respected Fraser Institute officials of being biased, dishonest and "greedy", i.e. personal invective and snide slurs, WITHOUT A SINGLE REBUTTAL OF THEIR SPECIFIC RESEARCH, Bosco is now whining about being accused of personal invective and snide slurs, hoping no one will remember the personal invective and snide slurs he had engaged in. Bosco wrote: Ooops!!! Appears Mario just directed personal invective at me and/or introduced a snide slur in this exchange. Mario responds: This is another example of Bosco whining about being accused of personal invective and snide slurs, after I had written "Bosco only has biased personal anecdotes in response." I guess pointing out something silly that Bosco has written is now called "personal invective and snide slurs" against him. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Bosco wrote: WOT??? Did Mario just say National Post??? O-M-G!! National Post, the newspaper established by Lord Conrad Black, who is now languishing in the Coleman Federal Correction Complex in Orlando, FL. Whatever search engine Mario is using, it seems he only finds right-wing, conservative sources for his information. WRT the op-editor, who has been accused of Islamophobia, Mario responds: Yet again, for the third time in a row, the liberal, left leaning Bosco, has responded to a report by attacking the publication or the author(s) WITHOUT ANY REBUTTAL OF THE SPECIFICS OF WHAT THEY HAVE REPORTED. BTW, for Bosco and his cronies, the accusation of "Islamophobia" is applied to anyone who opposes the radical Islamo-fascists in the middle east and their supporters in north America whose primary targets are innocent Muslims. Bosco wrote: Do not misunderstand me, I read the National Post (hardcopy) almost every weekday for a broader understanding of current issues and sometimes for a good laugh. Seriously, our own Goenkar, Fr Raymond J.deSouza, a descedent of Saligao, is a regular contributor to the National Post. Mario notes: It appears from these comments that Bosco only believes what he wants to believe that is written in the National Post, even when all he has on the other side of the issue are anecdotes and propaganda by his socialist cronies who admire Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and Barack Obama, all of whom have extensive records of saying one thing while doing the opposite. Bosco wrote: Anyway Mario, I will put you out of your misery. This is my last contribution on this thread. Mario observes: Thanks, Bosco. Since you have nothing to offer other than anecdotes by your left leaning cronies you might as well save everyone from posts that have added nothing to the discussion other than your non-specific and unsubstantiated disapproval and abuse of researched information published by credible Canadian sources. Predictably, you conveniently ignored similar information on health care rationing in the FREE British health care system.
