Non-Americans, what's it like when you're sick and need to go to the doctor?
  • Guess you don't get to Canada much. People that actually need fixed now head to the states and pay, and are usually impressed by the treatment, both personal and medical. It's often life or death though, die waiting here or don't.

  • Non-Americans, what's it like when you're sick and need to go to the doctor?
  • It's pretty much bullshit, you just get ignored or condescended to by assholes who want you out of their office so they can get the next "billable" in. When you demand competent attention, they just use their knowledge of the system to fuck with you. I had a doctor write me out a prescription the pharmacist took away, hiding the evidence of the doctor writing out a female hormone prescription rather than an appropriate treatment. 3 year wait list for a specialist, turned up they day of to find it had been cancelled a year prior. No recourse, can't contact these people by phone, when you trick the accounting dept to put you through to the office you had the appointment with, they lose their shit on you. STD check request? You get some moron demanding to know why you feel the need for testing. Canada, btw. I haven't had health insurance in 9 years, the first 6 because that province I lived i flat out refused to issue a health card, and the last three i this province, just because I am so over their bullshit I no longer care, I ever get hurt bad enough again need help, I'll worry about it then I guess. They just tend to let you die anyways, as far as diseases, injuries they'll do what they can, but cancer and the like they wait you out.

  • Opinion | Privatizing Canada Post would be a costly mistake
  • How the fuck could the people who have not been in charge the last ten years be hurting me? And as far as sowing division, the previous Prime Minister had an insulting name for anyone disagreed with his bullshit, usually "nazi", "racist", something along those lines. Real builder of unity there. I want my fucking rights as a citizen back, enough of this horseshit.

  • Opinion | Privatizing Canada Post would be a costly mistake
  • A person honest with themselves would notice that over the last 45 years, it's been under Liberal leadership when the real disasters in governance occur. Worst thing the Conservatives ever did was the switch to the GST, meanwhile the Liberals have literally bankrupted generations.

  • Opinion | Privatizing Canada Post would be a costly mistake
  • 450,000 thousand immigrants this year, 2 or three million the last 5. You're gonna learn what being this fucking stupid means over the next decade, probably have already, but pride and propaganda and such makes it hard for people who don't understand the sunk cost fallacy to change course.

  • What is the most dangerous ideology in the world and what makes it dangerous?
  • No, forcing compliance is the sinister part, resisting it is natural. People that talk like you is why people who disagree see little difference between fascism and socialism, one just has better health care access.
