Why do the Feds pay the provinces money for health care? I've never been to a federally run Hospital or doctors office. Let the province you live in collect the taxes for this. Same thing with National Daycare; let the province you live in decide if thats what they want and then collect the taxes for it. Same thing for the gas taxes and on and on and on. The Feds have stuck their fngers into too many local juridictions.

I agree with you. Decentralization of power is neccesary. It is too bad that Quebec wants to separate to acomplish this goal rather than working with the rest of the provinces.
Since decentralization means a new role and status for Provinces, as many groups as possible should participate in designing and implementing decentralization. At the very least, the opinions and positions or each group should be considered in planning decentralization.
