Canadian here.

$0 for everything, generally

If you have blood pumping from a stump, or have something catastrophic and are in immediate peril, you are seen quickly and get first class treatment....in most cases... However, our Indigenous population and other vulnerable sectors do not always get treated well sadly, and in some remote places access to health care is limited

Now if it's something "minor", you will wait for an appointment, or in the ER...for a long time, like 6-18 hours. which I have done many times However, you will get seen, and you will get services... The biggest bill I ever had was like $15 for parking

Some examples from my own experience: My mother had multiple, debiliatating illnesses over 20+ years, $0 Dad had a heart attack 15 years ago, $0 I was born , c-section, $0 i had multiple children, $0 Vasectomy (no more children haha) $0 Massive car accident, many injuries, $0 See my doctor annually for checkup, $0

You are very welcome.

We need to acknowledge the problems if we want to address them.

The system isn't perfect, but it does (generally) have your back when you get sick

Healthcare is one of, if not THE most important, valuable and defining parts about being Canadian. Right alongside being polite and friendly, in my opinion.

...unfortunately, the shitheads know this too, hence the attacks on public healthcare. It will not work tho, as the reptile people hate each other and cannot concieve of even small sacrifices to help others, and they cannot understand liking others either.

Canadians like each other, have a great thing going, and know it.

Stay strong hosers

"BUT THE CHINESE WILL SPY ON US"

Have you seen what the Yanks have been up to?

At least the Chinese cars are inexpensive

It's pragmatism, try it out some time

like it's "Ottawas" fault

Danielle Smith is a seditious snake, totally beholden to big oil, who want to rip this country apart and steal our oil, like they did in Venezuela, but thru sowing discord

american civil war 2.0 is about to kick off down there, the funding will dry up and the appropriate criminal charges will be laid against all of those who aided and abetted foreign interference

it must be very disappointing to be a starry-eyed new Democratic candidate, only to find out the Democrats also eat babies

This isn't "Alberta" pushing for independence

This is a group of seditious shitheads, funded by american billionaires attempting to destabilize Canada in an attempt to steal our oil

It will not work, Canadians like each other, and america will implode first

be pragmatic, keep your cards close, bluff and avert and misdirect and in the long game, the yanks are going to start killing each other en masse soon
