Thanks to glorious global warming it's not that cold here anymore.
That's not something to be thankful for, though. 
Allow me to inject a note of cynicism here. This largesse from the Federal Government smacks like electioneering from Harper and his cronies. God, I hope this doesn't fool people into voting for this anti-Kyoto wingnut and the Tories.

Yeah... I hate to say it but this does stink of pandering. The Conservative government isn't exactly well known for its love of women or sexual health programs.
As much as I'd love to see this money spent I hope that this plan doesn't sway people to support the Conservatives. Bunch of douchebags.

for the non-canucks in the thread: FP just summed up canadian politics, hence the skepticism.
To be fair I think that sums up pretty much ALL politics.
But again, for you foreigners, Mr. Harper and his ilk are kind of like spineless, uncharismatic versions of Republicans.

Much like the British Tories, then...

This is great news!! I'm so proud of Canada's health care system...not as good as the U.K's but still top 10 in the world 
You've never had to go through the NHS have you? While on paper, it's amazing, the sad fact is that's slowly grinding to an MSRA infected halt, mostly due to bureaucratic incompatency.

Oh please. They're more like centrist Democrats, while the Liberals are like centre-left Democrats. For all the bluster of a few fringe members, they're basically the same party. When corruption seeps in and they get turfed, we'll be back with the Liberals, and when they're shown to be corrupt, we'll be back to the Tories, and so on and so forth, and the whole time, nothing will really change. This is the reality of Canadian politics.

So goes the way of socialist provided health care.
