Best Healthcare System In The World

1. “Identified while in Egypt” So child was away from the war, in Egypt where she could have received care, but needs to come to MB for care, care that our residents cannot access? Ppl dying in ER, legs amputated due to no beds at HSC. NDP = theatrics.

   1. I wonder what that bit of theatre cost?

2. Manitoba is bumping tax paying Manitobans from the health care wait lists, and replacing them with terrorists from Gaza.
   Manitoba is monstrously in debt, their gov’t owned electrical utility is monstrously in debt, and in response to this they’ve voted for an NDP gov’t.

   When separatists mention AB/Sask. separating from Canada and don’t include Manitoba, include this as one of a 100 reasons why not.

   1. You’d have to be nuts to include Manitoba. They are so far gone. Once it was a thriving province, but then in 1969 they went NDP and then sentenced Manitoba to 34 years of NDP insanity.

      Winnipeg imported thousands of Phillipinos in the 1970s due to the booming textile trade needing seamstresses. Winnipeg brought in thousands of eatern europeans in the 60s and 70s because of the booming aerospace industry. There were dozens of machine shops, there was 50 music stores, over 280 hardware stores, there was a Labatt’s facility, a Molson’s, a Carling, and many others. Nightlife was varied, and exciting. Cruise ships all over the river, live bands in over 40 hotels, bowling alleys near every community, concerts, theater and events enough to satisfy any person. Any photo of Portage Avenue showed you hundreds of small businesses thriving and employing the young. People were nicely dressed, and every store felt safe having window displays.

      Now all the factories are closed, machine shops gone, only five music stores left, only bigbox hardware, all the breweries are all gone save for the small independents. The town is absolutely dead now, no cruise ships, no live bands, the only entertainment available costs you $250 a ticket for a millionaires league of some sort. Streets are boarded up, people wear rags, and dress like bums, Portage avenue is a ghost town, and the government is broke, both civically, and provincially. It’s depressing and its’ only going to get worse. It’s becoming an urban reserve alright.

      1. and what happening this weekend? goin’ to a social… I knew a gal from Lawndale Ave in St. Boniface.
         She moved to Calgary a few days prior to the NEP being wrought on us. uff.

      2. The early 70’s were a great time to be a young adult in the ‘Peg. Lunchtime peelers in every beverage room, UMSU socials with great bands. Saturday mornings at Autumn Stone and Opus 69, then to the Paddlewheel for lunch. The industrial parks were bustling and if you wanted a job, they were readily available. Two people could share a nice two room apartment for $300 a month. Smokes were a buck a pack and you could buy 4 draft at the Monty for a dollar. Winnipeg is now the largest urban reserve with only a few hidden gems here and there.

3. Gazans are the left’s favorite examples of (engineered) victimhood. Canada’s Indian grievance industry is a close second. It is their duty to demonstrate membership in the progressive in-crowd to publicly show support and always at taxpayer expense. It’s not as if they want to take them into their own homes or pay out their of their pockets. No, the left demonstrates virtue not through acts of free will but always those extorted at gun point.

4. Doctors Manitoba are simply shills for socialized medicine. If they had any sense, they would start lobbying to end the single payer model and at least move to the private/public model that is common everywhere else and has far more desirable outcomes.

5. What is Manitoba’s provincial income tax rate?
   What is Manitoba’s provincial sales tax?
   What was Manitoba’s share of equalization payments last year?

   1. Income tax rate is 10.8 – 17.4% excluding Federal taxes. Varies with income.
      Sales tax (PST) is 7.0%.
      Equalization payments were $4.6 billion.
      GDP of Manitoba is approximately $71 billion so equalization payments were 6.5%.

      Where were you going with all that?

6. I listened to a Bloomberg report this morning (caught only part of it) about people who were relying on the World Bank for their medical payments and who were being turned away after partial treatment due to non-payment. The World Bank had pledged over $8 billion in financial aid to people seeking medical treatment. Many of these people are in countries like Ghana and are staying in higher-end hospitals where the cost of medical treatment is “western-standard” (i.e., expensive).

   I wouldn’t be surprised if patients are being redirected to countries like Canada that can’t say no.

7. .
   the young Palestinian child from Gaza with complex medical needs who is unable to receive proper health-care treatment due to the war.

   Let’s be clear …. This kid is unable to receive proper health care because the lunatics that run his little sh!t-hole AKA The Gaza Strip decided to go medieval on several hundred innocent Jewish civilians and kidnapped a couple of hundred more.

   Thousands have died now and Gaza looks like it’s been nuked.

   Let the Hamas/Gazans/Palestinians seek medical care from the Arab World … We owe them nothing. They are a violent, insane cult that needs to be stamped out …. Go Bibi.

   “Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women: Dr. Melanie Morris
   First Indigenous pediatric surgeon in Canada among Canada’s top women
   October 25, 2021 —
   Dr. Melanie Morris, associate professor in the department of surgery and department of pediatrics and child health, has been named one of the Top 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada for 2021.

   The first Indigenous pediatric surgeon in Canada, Dr. Morris was appointed to the Indigenous Lead role within in the department of pediatrics and child health at the University of Manitoba in 2019 – the first academic leadership role of its kind in pediatric departments in Canada.

   Her medical expertise is already improving patient treatment in Manitoba and beyond. Dr. Morris created a minimally invasive program in pediatric urology that helps avoid having to send children out of province to be treated.

   She also collaborated with the Winnipeg Breastfeeding Center to raise awareness of a new way to treat infants with ankyloglossia (commonly known as ‘tongue tie’) and improve breastfeeding. The group was recently recognized with a community award given by UM for their pioneering work.

   Dr. Morris has created outreach clinics in Nunavut in pediatric surgery and was the founder and is currently the medical director of the Winnipeg Global Surgical Office in Winnipeg. She recently became a mentor in the Gender Equity Initiative in Global Surgery to address gender disparities in the surgery, obstetrics, and anesthesia (SAO) workforce worldwide through research, advocacy, and mentorship, with a goal to achieve worldwide gender equity in surgery by 2030.

   Dr. Morris, who is Métis, has been instrumental in spearheading the transformation of the Children’s Hospital to a culturally safe space for Indigenous children and their families. She helped develop a new Indigenous Community Healing Space – a 1,500 square foot space that will allow families to nurture their whole self, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. She also worked with Indigenous parents, children and Elders to evaluate other spaces within the hospital in order to create an environment where Indigenous children and their families feel safe.

   Within UM, Dr. Morris virtually mentors’ Indigenous medical students and residents in the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences, including those participating in the “Medallion Project” in which the trainees sign an anti-racism pact commemorated by a medallion worn on their lab coats. She is an active researcher, having published over 20 articles in pediatric surgery, urology, congenital illnesses and Indigenous Health.

   Dr. Morris was invited to be an instructor for the Masters in Global Surgery for the section on Surgical Care in Canada’s Rural and Remote Indigenous Communities at the University of British Columbia. She received a cross appointment as associate professor at UBC and has been now teaching for several years. Dr. Morris was recently invited and appointed as Region 2 representative on the Surgical Foundations Advisory Committee for the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada by the Chair of the committee. She was asked to provide experience, knowledge, and expertise on the health of Indigenous Peoples and gender equity and how best to incorporated this knowledge in surgical education.

   Dr. Morris has recently been awarded the Pediatric Chairs of Canada (PCC) 2021 Emerging Academic Leader Award, the Ongomiizwin Health Services Award for Respect and the Manitoba 150 Award. She is an avid runner and was named Manitoba Runners Association Female Road Racer of the year for 2019.

   This year seven UM community members have been named to the WXN Top 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada.

   Research at the University of Manitoba is partially supported by funding from the Government of Canada Research Support Fund.”

9. Oh sweet, so tax paying Manitobans that pay for the healthcare system can have their legs chopped off b/c some child terrorist is coming to town. Priorities, got it.

   Wobbly Canoe sucks.

10. The Gazan kid could go to Qatar for medical treatment.

    Or to the best health care country in the world, with Qatar paying the costs.

11. There are many children in the Muslim world who have “complex medical needs” as a result of this: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(06)68406-7/abstract
    The Brits have been discussing the impact of this problem on their medical system for years and Canadians are going to hear a lot more about the problem here (or not, depending on how the censorship thing goes).

    1. In short: Cousin-fckers

12. I didn’t know there was a cure for inbreeding… So how many Manitobans got bumped so these kids could be treated? Back of the line for ya.
