Everybody knows that Canada has only four cities! And I'm not sure if Ottawa counts!

Winnipeg??? That's like... like... Buffalo, for cryin' out loud!

But it's certainly not a rural, way up north in the boondocks area. You and Rue keep saying that rural areas are the only areas where availability is limited! Make up your minds! Winnipeg is practically half the population of Manitoba fer cryin' out loud!

Most peeps that I know of (from an online support community) have kids with very complex neurological issues. They're looking for university hospital research/ experimental treatment. The complaints I hear about access - whether from New Zealand or Canada or the USA- are all from people not within driving distance of a city of a million people or more. Of course, they're trying to access very specialized services. The UK doctors seem to have a god complex, and the Ozzies are a little too stoic for their own good. Of course, I don't get to hear from non-English speaking people, but the best research in my daughter's particular condition was written originally in French and Italian.

I realize this isn't what your friend is talking about, but its the only perosanl insight I have on the topic (aside from my Mississauga friend and his wife, who is a neuropsych.)

After all has been done in the world the past years I think this could do with a bump


I am not a Corona alarmist, I am Not against Vaccines, if someone is worried and wants to take a jab I support that, I did not play up any Covid Fear stuff or Doomsday news


However I think we should look at the numbers


USA vs Canada ?

People made Death Threats against Conservatives and Republicans here on Fireflyfans when the numbers hit 60,000 Dead
After Biden was elected the virus cases and death counts still went up
559,101 Americans have died from COVID-19 since President Joe Biden took office. He promised the American people he would "shut down the virus."

The United States has 243,451 cases per Million of Population
Canada had 88,609
the United States levels could be compared to Spain, Argentina, Sweden, Italy, Hungary, Serbia

The USA had 2,999 Deaths per Million Population
Canada 970
the US levels were close to Armenia, Mexico, Ukraine, Russia, Moldova


The USA's Healthcare is not Third World
but it is also not thye Health System of what should eb a 1st World Superpower nation.

I know. It sucks, dunnit?

ACA ...i.e. Obamacare .... people thrown into the maw of private insurance companies with a sweetener of government money.

Just get rid of those private insurance companies, and start making pharma and hospital corps compete for USA dollars for crying out loud!

Oh, and stop treating illegals.


Covering everyone .... it'll be expensive for the first ten years. Ee've let our collective health deteriorate so badly we have a huge backlog of crazy, drug addicted homeless; and diabetics; and people with untreated heart conditions etc etc. It'll be like a pig thru a python. But the only way to get thru it us to get thru it.

Also, AFA as those drug or drink-addicted homeless or schizos ... they need to be involuntarily housed. Maybe put a one-year limit on it so they're not looking at lifetime institutionalization, but then back in if they re-offend. Again, expensive bc we have a huge backlog.
