Vickers would probably have preferred to wait and see what the byelection results will eventually be; but this feels like too big a thing to let slide.

These talks have been happening for years, thus if this does cause an election I am sure the cons will want to be sure the Libs are shown to be equally at fault. I applaud the Cons for ripping off the the bandage as it was inevitable. I recently moved from SK where this happened in many rural hospitals years ago, during their time as a "have not province". The transition to non acute beds means less acutely trained staff needed and surely will help with some of the staff shortages (though not going to be a dramatic difference). People get up in arms about ambulances transporting trauma and acutely ill patients but the fact is they frequently bypass these hospitals anyway.
I was surprised to see both Grand Falls and Perth as that does make for a large area with no services at night.
