FYI to fellow Canadians

Got any facts, not 'alternate facts' to back that up?

Whilst not a literal 9 in 10, several sources confirm a significant and worsening primary care access crisis in Canada. The difficulties are caused by provider shortages, inefficient care models, and significant barriers to timely appointments.

Declining access to a regular provider: In 2023, only 86% of Canadian adults had a regular health care provider, down from 93% in 2016. This is the lowest rate among 10 peer countries surveyed by the Commonwealth Fund.

Never mind that, why are so many of you righties obsessed with imagining you live in some developing world so-called shithole?

Gee, I dunno. Could it be the crime and disorder in the streets? The shuffling mass of homeless drug addicts? The crumbling streets and bridges? The impossible mass of bureaucracy and red tape that makes it almost impossible to build anything remotely on time or on budget? The open borders we aren't capable of defending? The mass of unintegrated people from third-world shitholes roaming the streets? The healthcare system often WORSE than in the third world?

You do realize that we have 3rd world immigrants who live here who go back home to access timely healthcare, right? You know that's a thing, right?

I met what appears will be my forever GP a few months ago, she has a nose ring and loves to surf, seems to be living the dream too. And there's another moving to town as well

How nice for you. My friend has been trying to find a doctor for a year now to treat her multiple issues. So far, no luck. Like 17% of Canadians, she has no family doctor. I myself have one but had to go to Montreal to get some really basic surgery done because there's an 18-month wait list to see a surgeon for non-urgent cases here. The wait times at hospitals are the longest they've ever been.

But all you seem to care about is you.

No, there's so little of this happening where I live.

So not 9 out 10 after all. I thought so.

Well, things are definitely improving where I live.

Maybe if you guys had a hot surfer chick for a GP you'd feel better about things too.

Why should I give a damn about the burg you live in? It's your burg, you fix it.

I don't live in a burg. I live in one of Canada's biggest cities.

Well there's your problem right there - take more responsibility for your situation.

You're acting like an adolescent asshat. None of the above were scandals except for airbus, which, if you could read, you would have noticed your own cite said came to light after he left office. 

 

 

This is something we see from the left more and more. I mean sure, exflyer is a severe case where he posts really stupid examples but all over you see left wing posters stretching farther and farther to try to somehow make it seem like the conservatives are as bad as the libs.  It's almost desperation. 

Exflyer posted a list the other day and it's quite obvious that he lifted it from some left wing site, and there was like 20 "conservative" scandals that supposedly occurred under harper and he demanded ... DEMANDED that ANYONE prove that even ONE!!! JUST ONE!!! of them were not true. 

I very quickly proved one of them was not true (like the first one i grabbed) and provided several sources that anyone could have found which proved very conclusively it wasn't true. Several of the others were the same at a glacé. Yet someone out there is obviously insisting this crap is true. 

That and there's an insane number of lefties who want us to dump PP, "Not because they care but for our own good you see". As if they're deeply concerned about wanting us to do well next election.

That's what happens when someone you do ~75% of your trade with hits you with tariffs in an effort to wear you down economically.  Too bad we didn't have Poilievre to save us, but it wasn't meant to be....

For what it's worth...  Argentina's 5% growth will outpace the US' 1.5% - 1.75%.  So the point is.... Argentina is expected to see great growth in 2025?

Really? Because that's not what carney said. He said he could supercharge our economy to get around that. He said he could handle trump!

And the tariffs hadn't even really kicked in yet for that quarter 

This is still largely a result of liberal mismanagement.  ANd it's coming at a time when the libs have racked up hundred billion dollar deficits.

Argentina also trades heavily with the United States and also has tariffs imposed on them.  Regardless, the second quarter U.S. economic growth was 3%.

Regardless, the biggest reason Argentina’s growth will be so strong is that they finally rid themselves of their far left government that restricted economic growth.  Hopefully Canada does that as well within the next year or two.

Argentina's total trade with the US is 26.1B. Ours is 1.3T. A bit of a difference....  Argentina is expecting great economic growth....good on them. I'll take your word it's because the 'far left' is gone...

You're a hard line right guy who supports Trump policies and schtick, but slam Carney for not being able to get a tariff free deal, or any deal yet.  You see no conflict of argument with that?

Trumpers are quickly pivoting and blaming Trump on the Liberals? How brave!
