Feeling Sick Yet? Give George a Buzz.

Recently appointed Health Minister George Abbot has declared he has the “mojo and the jazz” to manage this complex and critical portfolio dealing with the life and death issues of our people.

How reassuring for all those patients dying for a bed, lined up in emergency wards, driving with heart attacks an hour longer to a hospital, and trying to find the funds to pay for drugs not covered by Pharamcare to know that their new head honcho charged with managing their recoveries has the following credentials:

“Before his election to the Legislative Assembly, Mr. Abbott was a political science instructor at Okanagan University College . He also owned the oldest and largest berry farm in the Interior.

“He received his bachelor of arts from the University of British Columbia and his master of arts in political science from the University of Victoria.

“Mr. Abbott was the chair of the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District. He was also involved in amateur sports as a minor hockey coach."
