herbie Posted January 1 Report Posted January 1 Last night GLOBAL had a piece on a local BC hospital never before mentioned in stories about ER closures. This is because for the last 2 years or so, there were none. They were 'on diversion' where the sign on the door and the ambulances took you to the hospital in another town. The ERa weren't closed they just were not open. Big difference, eh? Well someone blew the whistle on that BS to the media. Quote
CdnFox Posted January 2 Report Posted January 2 It's your new democrats that have brought us to this. Backed by your federal liberals If you want to cure the problem you have to start with the source. David E B needs to be voted out of office along with the NDP government who have destroyed our economy and our health care system, and while we're out at the fence have to be trashed and replaced by somebody who will respect the healthcare transfers which Trudeau never did 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me...

The NDP made people misdirect by making words mean what they want like 'collateral damage', replacement worker, pro-life, job displacement, restructuring.... etc etc Every person in the country knows there's a shortage of doctors and nurses and not unique to one town or province and we knew it was coming 30 yeara ago. So WTF political party did shit about it of the TWO that had power? A and B stood there with their thumbs up their ass so let's go for B... the known to cut and slashers will fix everything. 2 Quote

It's like I'm married to it or something Quote The NDP made people misdirect by making words mean what they want like 'collateral damage', replacement worker, pro-life, job displacement, restructuring.... etc etc uhhh ok. But they also trashed our medical system and that's what we were discussing. Quote Every person in the country knows there's a shortage of doctors and nurses and not unique to one town or province No, this is not a 'decades old' problem. From time to time we've struggled with the number of nurses and occasionally doctors but it was always fixed. The NDP has been in power for about 8 years now and since that time things have absolutely plummeted. Mabe it wasn't wise to let those thousand and thousands of health care doctors and nurses go during covid instead of finding a way to keep them. do you think? And maybe the province should have fought harder for more health funding or fewer immigrants when justin jacked up the immigration to the big cities? The bottom line is they sat around with their thumbs up their asses while things got worse and worse and worse far more so than ever before in our history. We weren't closing down tons of emergency rooms back in 1980 or 1990 What you're seeing is the end result of a socialist provincial government combined with a socialist federal government and things are vastly worse than they've ever been 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me...

As for "on diversion", and "not open", herbie needs to get a understanding of the other places in Canada, not just his little world. Most rural hospitals have closed emergency rooms for weekends and more in the last few years. As for doctors shortages, it has been decades in the making "Canada's significant doctor shortage began to manifest in themid-1990s". "Following recommendations from reports like the 1991 Barer-Stoddart paper, provinces reduced medical school admissions and capped residency spots, creating a "lost generation" of Canadian doctors."

herbie Posted January 14 Author Report Posted January 14 Its so sad how some people are so poisoned by their 'scripture' of conservatism they don't know exactly what it is, never read it, don't want to, only listen to the loud man at the podium and repeat his buzzwords. That buzz about inside the skull until you can no longer notice how they took over control of you. Politicians change regularly and many of the same things that pi**ed off your Grampa haven't. It's all the fault of the Whigs! Only United Farmers tell the truth... 1 Quote

I mean it's always a challenge to keep up with a growing population but we did quite well through the 90s even though they were challenges and were still keeping pace going into the 2000s. Hey you could always use more but people had a family doctor in those days without too much trouble. We sure as hell weren't closing er's I guess you could say it's moved from being a challenge that we always had to work on to being a crisis that's gotten out of control and it's only really been one decade in the making 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me...

Classic Canadian management style: manage to the statistics that the bosses are graded on, nothing else 😠 On 1/2/2026 at 4:03 PM, herbie said: So WTF political party did shit about it of the TWO that had power? Exactly. The parties are useless because the leaders have never had to deliver anything, and are advised by political strategists. I have seen some LOCAL mayors take action on healthcare, publicizing their efforts and involving the community in dialogue online. Delivering things and fixing things should be the criteria for election at this point, not posturing and moralizing. 1 Quote Looks like someone has a new patronizing catch phrase ! Michael Hardner

You start making weird typos you don't normally. Look the truth shouldn't be that upsetting to you. If you're wrong about something you should just accept that and move on, you don't even need to admit it just change your thinking appropriately and accept that you learned something IT's painful to watch you struggle every time someone points out simple facts. 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me...

herbie Posted January 15 Author Report Posted January 15 Canadian policy in both politics and business seems entirely on ways to duck and cover. The other day I went into SaveOn and asked a worker about pickled herring.... mentioned they hadn't had any all December and still don't in mid January. He was surprised "I'm sure we do!" He went to ask the dept. manager and returned to where 'it should be' and of course it wasn't. 1. A 3 year employee stocking shelves that didn't know what he'd placed in them, 2. A dept manager that sent him on a fool]s errand. As my wife worked that dept for 15 years and constantly complained how stuff was missing and the manager telling her it was backordered, no longer carried,etc.. Because she could not place the orders not being a manager, they forgot as an assistant she could still view the orders on the computer she knew the manager had failed ot order things week after week after week. And ordered extra of things they liked but didn't sell. Wastefulness, incompetence and reliance on excuses at the expense of the customers and the clients. Hell. I still hear the "supply chain issues" one at least once a week. 1 Quote
