Welcome To Canada — The Doctor Won’t

Earlier this month, Boy Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asked Taylor Swift to take her tour to Canada, where she so far has no concert dates. “We hope to see you soon,” he tweeted. If she does, she’d better hope none of her crew becomes ill. A person could expire while waiting to see a doctor in Canada. The Vancouver-based Fraser Institute, which has long documented Canada’s miserable government-run health care system, estimates the cost of waiting for care “for patients who were in the queue in 2022 was almost $3.6 billion … an average of about $2,925 for each of the estimated 1,228,047 Canadians waiting for treatment.” The real toll

Remember when the Canadian 'everything for everybody' health system was bandied by out Liberals as an ideal the US should follow? Come to think of it so was Britain's National Health.

The article doesn't mention Canada's policy of recommending suicide by doctor to patients with bad enough symptoms. If I lived in Canada they'd probably be recommending physician assisted suicide for me because after 36 years, the excruciating cluster headaches haven't gone away, not to mention all the spinal surgery and the constant pain associated with that. Here in America three doctors have recommended "pain management," which means powerful pain killers, something I refuse to do because I don't want to become a totally useless person, living in a narcotic fog. It's nice that I don't live up there, though. Canada's leader is Fidel's son.

Cool down Canadians! All isn't gone. In America we have a president who can't speak to the issue, and a dumbbell vice president.

Not so much better here, where government has replaced independent physicians with robots and “telemedicine”. Excepting a few “specialities”, physicians can’t afford private or independent practice. If they try, they are soon strangled by rules and regulations. The only way to survive is to work for someone else, follow the rules and discard whatever sense and integrity they once had.

AMEN number 4. We aren't much better. Doctors are now salaried employee's Call your primary and the first thing said is : If this is an emergency go to the ER. I am a volunteer ambulance technicin and it is an average 30 minute wait at the hospital just to get the patient off the cot. Recently I took my wife to the hospital for a kidney stone. We spent 5 hrs. in the waiting room. Urgent Care: I went there waited an hr. and was seen by a nurse while the doctor watched her on TV from God knows where. $20,000 dollars a year for BC&BS plus another $2500 for Medi-care. Get old and be refused an operation because of age.

Back in 2009, when 0bamacare was first being debated, I was on a business trip to Victoria, BC and was staying with a woman who was one of my clients. She came down with bronchitis and had to call a government office to get permission to call her doctor. And she just couldn’t understand why Americans didn’t want government “free” healthcare. You get what you vote for - whether it’s the US or Canada.

It usually takes at least 6 Drs in the U.S. to maybe get a correct diagnosis. All the Drs give you pills & eventually that's what kills you & you still don't have a correct diagnosis. Most of the time you don't even see a Dr.

#2, I fully recognize it's none of my business, so I apologize in advance if you know all of this already. In managing my own spinal and neck issues, I had disc replacement surgery, which did a lot of good. More recently I was also referred for pain management, which I initially resisted. When I finally went I was surprised that the pain management specialist recommended nerve relation instead of medication. If information about either would be helpful, I would be happy to share.

When I lived in Montana and blew out my knee and had surgery, I was in the recovery area and there were 6 Canadians getting routine surgeries in the U.S. because they had been waiting months. They were shocked when I said I blew my knee on a Friday and was in for surgery on Monday.

Last week, Vice President Kamala Harris received a round of applause when she said “​​when we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.” And with that, she pulled back the curtain to expose one of the many horrors that is usually endorsed not quite so openly by the political left. We acknowledge that Harris might have lost another one of the many battles she and her White House boss have with teleprompters and public speaking in general.

The cars that were going to save our world from the scourge of carbon-based global warming are, says one media outlet, “​​piling up on dealer lots” because they can’t be sold. Maybe we’re finally at the point where most if not all of those who are desperate to demonstrate their green cred already have an EV and don’t need another battery-powered adult toy. Even though “the auto industry is beginning to crank out more electric vehicles (EVs) to challenge Tesla,” Axios reported Monday, “there’s one big problem: not enough buyers.” Two days later, Market Watch said that as “EV sales stall … there’s a ‘step back from euphoria.’”
World’s Shortest Book: ‘The Promises

During his 2020 presidential campaign, Joe Biden tweeted that “we need to restore honor and decency to the White House.” On his first day in office, he promised to “bring transparency and truth back to government.” For anyone keeping score, both of these promises bit the dust after cocaine was discovered in the White House and the Secret Service started stonewalling the public about the details. This comes days after Biden let “transgenders” parade around topless on the White House lawn while he desecrated the American flag, and years into running what is widely described as the most opaque administration in history. Decency and transparency? What a laugh.

Whistleblowers allege President Joe Biden and his family have taken up to $30 million in illicit bribes and payments from foreign sources tied to China, Russia and Ukraine. Biden denies it. Do Americans believe him? No. By more than 2-to-1, they say they believe the whistleblowers, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. The online poll of 1,341 adults, taken July 5-7, asked respondents how likely is it that the claims are true? The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points. The results weren’t close. Americans, by 56% to 27%, called Biden bribery charges “likely,”
An Infinite Number Of Days To Flatten

When three years ago we were told that if we stayed inside for 15 days we could flatten the curve of COVID-19 cases, there was no real effort to respond with civil disobedience. It was a profound mistake, one we paid dearly for and will again, if we don’t stand up to the tyranny. Yes, we know it was President Donald Trump who issued in March 2020 a set of guidelines that called for 15 days to slow the spread by limiting our travel and staying away from social settings. At the end of March, under more pressure from “experts” he should have fired, he extended the guidelines for another month.
Here’s How You Know Conservatives Are Winning 6 replies

If you want a good indication that conservatives are, at long last, scoring a few actual victories these days, look at the apoplexy it’s causing those on the left. A prime example is a piece written by Jill Lawrence, a former editor at USA Today, which posted on July 4 on MSNBC and carried the scary title: “Seeing the erosion of our freedoms makes it hard to celebrate this Fourth of July.” It is a remarkable display of fearmongering, incoherence, and illogic. “The Supreme Court, conservative governors and gerrymandered state legislatures are racing to shrink fundamental rights and freedoms,” Lawrence writes. “The result
Biden’s Boast About Jobs Is Coming Undone 7 replies

We've pointed out how President Joe Biden is being purposely deceptive when he brags about creating 13 million jobs. An honest accounting shows the job gains to be more like 3.7 million. But what if even that altogether unimpressive number is itself a wild exaggeration? Job growth is one of the only things Biden has to justify his reelection. He can’t talk about inflation – it’s still punishingly high. He can’t talk about real wages – they’re falling. He can’t talk about economic optimism – it’s in the dumps. He can’t point to any poll about his handling of the economy – they all

Bidenomonics has been, and will continue to be, a disaster. This is what happens when lawmakers manipulate economies. No one should ever expect a different outcome when politicians enact ideas that they believe are so brilliant that they will overcome the laws of economics. The way out of this mess is to make a policy U-turn to both unleash the economy and expand precious liberty. President Joe Biden last week bragged that his economic policies — straight from the Democrats blueprint that says “borrow, tax, spend, regulate, then do it all again” — are working.

How are Americans feeling these days? Certainly not united. Our nation appears to be indivisible in name only. Even more surprising, a significant number of people have even begun to wonder if the United States of America as we know it will even exist in the future, data from the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. Starting with the Unity Index, the proprietary I&I/TIPP gauge of national harmony, we ask people each month if they feel our common bond remains. They are then given five possible responses: “very united,” “somewhat united,” “somewhat divided,” “very divided” or “unsure.”

"As fuel taxes plummet, states weigh charging by the mile instead of the tank.” That was the headline of a recent AP story, which should scare freedom-loving citizens everywhere. And you can place the blame squarely on government-subsidized EVs for this terrible new development. The background is that state and federal gasoline taxes aren’t raising “enough” money these days to pay for roadway construction and maintenance. And a big reason for the growing shortfall is the increase in electric vehicles. EVs get massive tax subsidies to convince people to buy them, but their owners don’t pay gasoline taxes,

“I’m happy to call it ‘Bidenomics.’ And guess what? Bidenomics is working.” In a 30-minute speech in Chicago this week, President Joe Biden declared that his economic policies — which can charitably be summed up as “borrow and spend, tax and regulate” — are doing wonders for the nation’s economy. Never mind that just 38% of Americans approve of the job Biden has been doing on the economy. No. The only risk we face, Biden argued, was a return of that bogeyman known as “trickle-down economics.”

Speaking in South Carolina today, presidential candidate Ron DeSantis blamed President Trump for the events of January 6, 2021, in Washington DC saying, “I think it was shown how he was in the White House and didn’t do anything while things were going on. Should he have come out more forcefully? Of course.” However, DeSantis affirmed he does not believe Trump’s transgressions amounted to criminal conduct. “But to try to criminalize that, that’s a different issue entirely,”(snip) Governor DeSantis then tacked to his preferred position that politicians should not be criminally targeted(snip) you don’t have one side just constantly trying to put the other side in jail.”

In an effort to reduce plastic use, New York will start fining restaurants and third-party delivery services that provide disposable utensils, soy sauce packets, and similar items without the customer requesting them. In late June, New York City announced plans to implement its new “Skip the Stuff” bill, which aims to reduce plastic use by fining restaurants and delivery services handing out unsolicited plastic items like ketchup and cutlery. Food vendors and delivery services have a moment to adapt. Actual fines won’t start being handed out until July of 2024, and until then, violators will only receive warnings, Bloomberg reports.

If there was any confusion left about who Lia Thomas really is (besides being a man), this latest development settles the issue once and for all. Thomas initially gained fame for dominating NCAA women’s swimming as a “transgender” athlete. Prior to that, he had languished for years competing against his biological peers in the men’s league. Interspersed with what was being seen in public at the time was a battle behind the scenes. As multiple women have testified, Thomas invaded women’s locker rooms, flaunting his decidedly male genitalia with no care for their comfort. Meanwhile, college administrators essentially threatened the female athletes who objected, asserting that the issue was decided
