To state the obvious, don't let profit parasites ruin your healthcare system Canada. Down South we live in hell. Our way of doing thing's is a cruel joke. Fuck those greedy bastard's.

We know. We have our own collection of stupid-fuckwad conservatives here that would shoot themselves in the leg if PP made a YouTube video asking them to.
I live in Alberta
Sometimes I want to sob
Experiencing the very purposeful breaking of the system by the current government, right this moment. …so their buddies and their interests can cash in BIG.
I’m gobsmacked, to be directed to private health care for better services that are waaay faster.
I’m more gobsmacked to find people complaining about this, while simultaneously STILL SUPPORTING the current government.
Faith in society, humanity? At an all time low.
There is not current situation so bad it can't be made 10 times worse by swapping a minority red beholden to the oranges for a blue that will privatize in record time.
Unless and until the voting system changes and we can vote without fear of losing everything, then it's a binary choice between two big parties in the hopes of getting a minority red with an orange driver again.
This is the perspective of the informed!
Singh should come back and run for premiere in Ontario. Instead of trying to get some nice soundbites and some sharp jabs in, why don't we take a look at one of the places that's in dire need of literally anybody. Ford won by default, with less than 27% voter turnout. Singh doesn't have enough support to win federally, but he could make a decent impact in Ontario if he really wanted.
Sometimes I think of trying to get into the NDP to run in Ontario. There's literally no options for governance. Andrea Horwath comes off as your 5th grade teacher telling you that you've been naughty. I don't even have a fucking clue who the Liberals are running, because they have zero leadership. Did they replace Del Duca? Who knows.
Nine months to see a dermatologist. Its disgusting
If it's bad, don't make it worse by privatizing it.
Enshittification of Canada commence.
It's been going on for ages, and it's just getting worse and worse. You should look into our telcom situation. That one might make you laugh. Alternatively you can look at our grocery stores and how they are 100% vertically integrated from the farms to the transport to the store themselves. It truly is the land of opportunity if you managed to get in 50 years ago.
Just nationalize the system already, we need to stop relying on provinces to deliver healthcare effectively - our healthcare coverage shouldn't differ province to province.
Ford literally cut funding to healthcare during the pandemic. My GP now charges me 25 dollars if I want a script faxed into my pharmacy. His office offers a 'deal' of spending 100 dollars per annum which covers those new 'incidental' costs including cosmetic procedures (skin tags, warts, etc) and the aforementioned faxing of the script.
It's fucking bullshit. It's literally not my fault as your patient that the government has fucked you out of 20 years of salary raises. You have then decided to put that burden on your patients instead of taking the fight to the government alongside every other doctor to fight for a fair wage. I guess it's just easier to pretend to be American and hybridize everything.
It's disgusting. I hate it. Even the hospital's main revenue generation is the parking lot. One of the biggest barriers in healthcare is being able to visit loved ones without being charged out the ass. Costs around 15 dollars for two hours of parking.
