PC Party Endorses Non-partisan call for Medicare for Autism Now!

The Progressive Canadian Party supports and is willing to endorse the non-partisan “Medicare for Autism Now!” national campaign calling for policy change to make sciencebased Autism treatment (ABA/IBI) available to all Canadians diagnosed with Autism, regardless of age or where they live. “Political will, alone, will overcome the marginal constitutional barriers to support for families and children victimized by Autism,” said Progressive Canadian Party spokesperson Brian Marlatt following Saturday’s Rally for Autism in Surrey, BC, “Where the provincial governments have been slow to act, the federal government must take the initiative; provincial jurisdiction is not a barrier to the power to persuade or the will to amend the Canada Health Act in the interest of families and children; this government’s firewall provincialism comes at a cost to the most vulnerable.

PC Party Candidate Brian Marlatt reaffirmed today his commitment and that of his party to the Arts. "The Arts and culture are how we define ourselves as a people. Stephen Harper thinks "ordinary people" share his philistine opinions. Well, this ordinary Canadian doesn’t; the cuts to the Arts, to the CBC, Telefilm, the New Media Fund is a slash and burn approach to culture and to the means of sharing it amongst Canadians," Marlatt said, adding that this was another example of how the Harper government has wandered from the Progressive Conservative path of respect and support for the Arts.

Make Afghan mission an election issue

If American bombs go on killing Afghan civilians, and if American planes and troops continue to violate the sovereignty of Pakistan by mounting cross-border raids and killing civilians there as well, the Canadian mission in Afghanistan is even more imperiled than we think.

In fact, it is going to get worse, as George W. Bush commits only 4,500 more troops in search of a military solution that has eluded NATO. A mini-surge won't work.

Stéphane Dion, Gilles Duceppe, Jack Layton and Elizabeth May should be making an election issue of how to salvage our sinking mission. Just waiting it out until 2011, as Stephen Harper implies, is irresponsible. Canadian soldiers are getting killed at such regular intervals that the news is no longer guaranteed front-page treatment.
