The bill, which is unlikely to pass, would make it unlawful for “a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo.”

Speaking of c*nts this response and naturally it is a person from Arizona.



I will never admit I know much about the Canadian government but this really seems like BS. Also I would add that more Canadians understand the US Government more than the other way around.

He's not wrong about long wait times, but that mainly applies to health care that falls under non life threatening treatment. Unfortunately, that applies to things like hip and knee replacements that are non life-threatening, but certainly impact quality of life. The fact that Canadians in my area of the country (Vancouver Island and the lower mainland) have had to travel to Bellingham, Washington for cancer screenings due to lack of available services here is pretty bad, though. Health care in Canada overall is certainly not as good as it used to be.

Yeah, we play more in taxes but that goes into the social safety net as well. As for low freedom of speech, that's just nonsense, where does he think all those "F*ck Trudeau" flags and stickers come from? I'll also take common sense gun control laws over the 2nd Amendment, thanks.

^ The long wait times are a major issue in the US also. So that talking point in to say the US is better is essentially BS.

Also missing from the original tweet above is the number one cause of personal bankruptcies in the States is health care costs, something that we don't have to worry about here in Canada.

And at the end of the long wait times, you have to pay so much that you go bankrupt here.

From MRI to Surgery on my knee was 13 months with 3 attempted denials in the middle.

fwiw my brother and his family moved back to canada from the us last summer and it was all about cost and quality of healthcare. They werent near bankruptcy (own a successful business) but spending as much as they were out of pocket for healthcare with similar quality of service than you can get in canada made no sense.

If youre healthy US healthcare is great lol. Get one chronic disease and youre fucked. I dont know how anyone w/o financial means can survive in the US when you add a second chronic disease into the mix (which was my brothers family situation)

Story time when my oldest became a type-1 diabetic. Between the hospital bills, insulin costs and all the additional items he needed. We paid over $11,000 out of pocket essentially when he got out of the hospital and the initial drug costs. Then through the rest of the year we paid an additional $5000 for the prescription refills.
We were a year in when the insurance company realized they were billing us wrong, even with us fighting/calling them over and over.
When it was all said and done we were over $20,000 in the hole. Then what they billed us wrong they refused to reimburse us and we tried legal means but in the end we couldn’t win the case essentially because the legal fees we couldn’t afford.

They're kind of running all five steps in parallel to be honest. It's a cornerstone of Project 2025.
