The alignment of the stars continues to favour the prime minister. With the opposition parties leaderless, the biggest risk to the Liberals these days is to let success go to their heads. Trudeau’s musings also shore up the perception that the Liberals on the electoral reform committee, along with reform minister Maryam Monsef, are on a mission to sabotage the discussion. Provincial health spending has been increasing at about half the pace (3 per cent) of the federal health transfer. The bottom line is that the prime minister is basing his case for cutting the annual increase in half on a mathematical fallacy.
