The wealthy few have access to excellent care but the vast majority of folk suffer. We are blessed to have our healthcare system. It's amazing that anyone would try to argue that the average person is better off in the US when it comes to healthcare, or any other lefty issue. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extremist (right wing) spin in the media is very convincing and the weak minded are easily duped by it. Lots of weak minded morans in Alberta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada has no army compared to the US, with or without "legal right" they could bring troops into Canada & make this USA North tomorrow. So that isn't particularly alarming. What's written on paper is just written on paper, at the end of the day. Someone with more experience on how NATO is structured can correct me if I've got this wrong, but as I understand it, the US invading Canada would also be a declaration of war against France, the UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, Turkey, Poland, all of Scandanavia....etc etc.... I mean Trump turned them into a bit of a pariah state already, but invading Canada would make them the enemy of most of the first world countries on the planet..... So I guess the point is yes, they could.....but would they? TBH, it's not something that makes me lose a second of sleep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arrogant Worms Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) Alcohol excise tax capped at 2 per cent for two more years, Freeland announces https://www.timescolonist.com/national-news/alcohol-excise-tax-capped-at-2-per-cent-for-two-more-years-freeland-announces-8422220 TORONTO — Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says the federal government will cap the annual alcohol excise tax increase on beer, spirits and wine at two per cent for an additional two years. The alcohol excise tax had been set to rise on April 1 by 4.7 per cent, tied to inflation, but Freeland announced today that the increase is being capped at the lower rate. She also announced some tax relief for local craft breweries by cutting the excise duty rate on the first 15,000 hectolitres of beer in half for two years. She says Canada's small craft brewers are among the finest in the world and are an important contributor to the economy. Restaurants Canada is applauding the move, saying the financial relief will give operators a chance to catch their breath as they try to cope with inflation and bounce back from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation says it is good to see some relief, but the government shouldn't be raising alcohol taxes at all.

Ricky Ravioli Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) 3 hours ago, Warhippy said: Then move to where there is a clinic it available doctor where it will still be free Guess what though. If you can't afford medical care in the US. It doesn't matter where you move. It's still going to be unaffordable Uhhhh, I live in the capital city of British Columbia. And you can't even go to a walk in clinic here. It's literally impossible now without getting on the phone before it opens and calling non stop in hopes you get through and the clinic isn't already booked up for the day. That's a problem Edited March 9 by Ricky Ravioli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think the capital city of British Columbia should have functional walk in clinics?

So, if you travel across the Country and go into a clinic or hospital make sure you have out of Province travel insurance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
