    Still using “at least we’re not the USA!” to excuse a dumpster fire of a healthcare system, as we have been for years.

    It is important to note that there isn’t a “Canadian” healthcare system, per se. It is largely a provincial jurisdiction. So while Manitoba sees outrageous wait times, hallway medicine, nurse shortages, and people dying in ER waiting rooms because they don’t have a GP, I can’t speak for every province in the country.

    Anecdotally, my experience is… OK. I’m lucky to have a family doctor that I’ve had since childhood. That said, I’ve moved multiple times since then, and I haven’t been able to find a doctor in any of my new communities, so if I ever need to see a GP, its an hour drive back to my hometown.





  • Its that or relationship/AITA type posts that are so wildly insane I dont know why anyone bothers replying.

    My (58M) wife (18F) cheated on me with my brother’s ex-girlfriends hockey coach. AITA for not attending SIL’s wedding because her dress code specifies hockey jerseys and they refuse to tell me if BXGHC will be there? Also the dinner is a plate of skittles, which I have a bad history with.
