It's nice that Canada gets to have healthcare because the US spends all its money on military.

SIX, our healthcare system is older than me. It was created by Tommy Douglas and he was the head of what would become the NDP. It was slow to spread across the country but everyone agreed it was a good thing.
Without it my mum wouldn't have survived her first bout with cancer. She couldn't have afforded the surgery or the chemo after.
I wouldn't be either. Surgery and hospital combined would have wiped my mum out. I was in there 3 weeks.

Healthcare cost 1/100th of what it does today before you were born. There is no other expense that has risen even close to how much above inflation healthcare has increased since 1980.
This wasn't a dig at Canada specifically. This is a dig at every Western World country that gets to do things like Universal Healthcare while looking down at America because they don't have to fund any meaningful military with the US playing world police.
It's frustrating. We need to stop doing that.

Okay, I do know that cost of healthcare has risen since I was born. All over the world its risen.
Canadian military being looked down on bugs me. We might not have the biggest military in the world but our forces are well trained. The idea of peace keeping troops was Canadian. We were in Cyprus for I don't know how long. We've been in Africa. We've tried in the last few years to help Haiti. We've had our troops in the middle east.

That's an understatement, at least in the US. My brother had a brain hemmorage which required surgery from the top neuro-surgeon in the country, and he spent the next 4 months in the hospital with 3 different physical therapists visiting him for an hour every day.
The entire bill for that, around 35 years ago, was under $100,000. It would have been $10 Million today.
Today you go to get an ultrasound for testicular cancer and they will charge you $5,000 just to have KY jelly applied to your testicals and a 2 minute scan on a computer screen. That doesn't include the initial doctor consultation where you got the script for the procedure, or the followup appointment with the doctor.

I'm sure the troops individually are well trained. But if there ever was a war that come to our shores, Canadians would not put up any resistance. You have no military budget or any real military outside of some manpower. Hell... when the sleeper cell Muslim agents that Trudeau let in start uprising, you don't have enough ordinance or manpower to take care of that.
Everybody in the world who is considered an "ally" gets to have tiny ass "military" and spend their money everywhere else because ours is so stupidly big.
Everybody in the world getting free healthcare today loses it tomorrow if the US decided it was not going to protect anyone outside of its own boundaries, which is what was supposed to happen from the beginning.

Yes the cost of healthcare has risen since I was born. It has all over the world. But maybe if things like food production and healthcare were a higher priority then maybe there wouldn't be so much conflict in the world. And no I don't live in an Utopian state of mind. The world will never be like that because illogical, irrational humans.

In the last century Canada has shown what we can do as a fighting force. You know why the Geneva Conventions were written because of WWI and Canadian troops take no prisoners mentality. Vimy Ridge was very important during WWI. The British and French troops had been trying to take for months from the Germans. Canada did it and held it. During WWI, Canadian troops were called "Storm Troopers" or "Shock Troops".

We need to rethink how much $$$ we hemorrhage into NATO. And if NATO nations don't want to pony up for the cost of being in NATO, maybe they should rethink their membership.
That's not being snippy. One of the reasons why NATO nations can get hysterical about the "Russian threat" is bc they don't have to bear the cost. So they can mentally balloon up the threat to astronomical proportions bc, well, America will always step in and "save them". So instead of addressing their security in a real way, including negotiations with Russia, they turn it into a giant boondoggle.
It's a money-making scam for the MIC and Eurocrats, if you ask me.
IMHO Canada's risk of a Russian invasion (or Chinese, for that matter) is nil. I honestly don't see why Canada has be a part of NATO.
But SIX, don't make this all a NATO problem. The USA has 800+ installations and full-on bases all over the world, many nothing to do with NATO. (Japan, S Korea, Syria, Jordan, misc places in Africa etc etc.)
More money-making scam for the MIC, Joint Chiefs, Congress etc etc
Seems we could pare a lot of that down.

In the last year I have been to a neurologist 3 times have I gotten a BILL. No. I had an eeg done last year have I gotten a bill. Oh gee the answer is no again.
You have no idea on who would or wouldn't pick up a weapon if a verifiable enemy turned up on our shores to defend Canada.
I am talking to a MAGa wall. Never mind SIX, you are entitled to your opinions and I am entitled to mine.

I didn't make this a NATO problem, nor did I praise or otherwise glorify our military might.
NATO should be dissolved, and America should start that by withdrawing completely, forever.
Nobody on earth is going to mess with Canada because they're our baby brother and we have a majority of the nukes and ordinance, plus a yearly military budget that outspends every competitive nation in the world combined.
So it's really easy for Canadians to brag about universal healthcare when they don't ever even have to consider spending any of their tax dollars on military budgets. Just like it is for everybody in Europe that only get to do it because OUR military that ONLY WE pay for is obscene.
My point is that all the free shit everywhere else ends instantaneously if America pulls out and tells everyone else that they're on their own against the Russias and the Chinas and the North Koreas and the Muslims, etc.
There is no argument to that statement. This is an objective fact.
Everybody else gets to pretend they're living in Progressive Utopias and blow their budgets on Communist experiments every year because they've got Papa USA all up in everyone's asshole 24/7/365. And they've got it so good they can go around the last two decades calling white males who built everything for them the "bad guys".
We'll see who the bad guys are when America announces they're no longer playing world police.
SPOILER ALERT 1: Most of the bad guys out there in 2024 aren't white.
SPOILER ALERT 2: When the wars start happening, your "Progressive" leaders already let in the first wave of combatants with open arms and used our tax dollars to house and feed them until the war started.

Fidel Jr. didn't;t really resign, right? He just did that to avoid being removed, so he can retain the power.
