| Ontario health care means when you show up at the hospital with a broken foot the hospital puts a cast on but doesn't provide you with any crutches. They tell you to go buy some on a Thanksgiving Sunday. Fuck Ontarios "free" health care. That's odd in Saskatchewan they give you the crutch... |

| Considering thins like being gay, introverted or considering the huge amount of things we have diagnosed people that describe themselves as anxious with over the years this is almost non news. It's part of the reason why I always always research a medication or drug I'm prescribed before I got to th... |

I've always loved the line "talk to a Canadian if you think public health care programs are a good thing!".
yes please do! Oh wait by Canadian you just mean the Canadians willing to expose your point of view safe north of the border and pocket a little spare change while doing it. |

| Yea I think the fact that people are claiming we already know what the program is going to cost despite not even knowing how many Americans will sign up for it or the fact that negotiations have yet to begin with the medical community on many aspects of the program speaks volumes to the corporate pr... |

| Frankly from the picture posted in the article and the RCMP telling the woman she shouldn't have called 911 it sounds like there was more to this problem then the article lets on. The fact she had a recorder out is a sign of some kind of past here that hasn't been investigated. Shame on CBC for repo... |

| It's a pity really. If you could get the majority of Americans on the plan the government could negotiate for dramatically reduced prices on surgeries and medical supplies by putting out a huge contract and letting the free market do it's thing. Instead we will get a ton of fools going on about how ... |

| This is right up there with being forced to go to pow wows as a kid in school. I'm sorry this may sound racist but if you have been to one pow wow you have pretty much seen them all. Besides what on earth is to stop the school from simply hosting the drumming on one night and the concert on another?... |

Truly Canada is a great place to live. edit: I suppose I should stir up some controversy so if I were to change the lyrics personally for the bette... |

Frankly I just don't get why on earth they don't just ban him already. IMO he's no better then the spamming trolls. He's just a mindless husk spewing out pointless crap day and day out.
It's so mindless it may as well just be ads. |

| I find it ridiculous that people fail to even grasp the most basic concept of empathy for other working human beings. It's way too often I see staunch conservatives acting like it's some form of crime that a person who works full time dares to ask that they should be paid enough to be able to find a... |

| Canadians should be working every hour they're being paid to work that coincides with a healthy life. Pure and simple. fixed. The truth is that I've had a few jobs where I work my 40 hours and I'm done and a few jobs where I work upwards of 70 hours or more a week. Oddly enough it turns out the 70 ... |
