  1. American Healthcare has some issues.

    Insurance companies are difficult to deal with. It’s a captive market, and everyone is pretty much forced to buy insurance for themselves or their employees.

    Medicare and Medicaid warp the market, and buy medical products and services at greatly discounted rates, set by law, which generally result in losses for the providers. This results in providers raising prices, which are shouldered by people with insurance and the uninsured. Many people just don’t pay, resulting in even higher prices for those who do.

    Most other countries rely on the U.S. to drive almost all advances in medical technology and medicine.

    The providers of generic drugs do almost zero research beyond determining how to produce copies of existing, proven drugs. American pharmaceutical companies drive almost all drug research and development.

    Things seemed to work better when insurance was only for the worst situations, but now it is used for pretty much everything. HMOs kind of ruined everything, and Medicaid/Medicare are basically government run mega-HMOs.

    I really want to scrap all the government Healthcare. I want to be less dependent on insurance companies, and employer provided insurance.

    Healthcare is commerce, and commerce works best when it is simple, with minimal government and third-party interference.

    1. “We are (the US) 4.2% of the world’s population.”

      “We buy 70% of the pharmaceutical drugs on earth.”

      “We spend two to three times what other countries spend on healthcare and we have the worst healthcare outcomes.”

      “We literally have the sickest population in the world.”

  2. It isn’t Trump that is responsible for the current economic situation of Canada and it isn’t Trump that shut down parliment. Our 14 Premiers/Grand Poobah had to go conduct their own diplomacy in Washington. I’m sure Trump is really scared of Canada now. That kind of bullshit and the installation of another globalist clone is not going to shut Trump up about a 51st state.

    1. The 51st state meme, is all about the Fentanyl epidemic, and, the Lieberals ignorance of the corruption and cartel behaviour.
      51st state is all about “we’ll crack down on it, your sovereignty is the price”!
      Tariffs are the shot over the bow, to crack down.
      Trudeau isn’t serious, obviously, he’s traipsing around Europe.
      “Ahem. JOSE CAN YOU SEE!”

  3. The tariffs proposed by Trump are the least of Canada’s worries. The U.S. under Trump is going to create such a business friendly environment that capital will flow into the U.S. and out of Canada (and other countries) like a tidal wave. It is already happening and Canadians won’t know what hit them.

  4. Carney knows nothing about the US except for what he reads in idiotic Toronto Star articles?

    Tens of millions of Americans live entirely on the government’s dime, you could say taxpayer’s dime, but it’s all borrowed money.

    Americans built the most gigantic welfare state in the history of humanity.

    Poor people do not “fall through the cracks”, hard workers – if they work for a small company or for themselves have problems because they’re competing for healthcare in a lavishly funded system whether that funding is government or corporate.

    If Carney is this dumb then the genocidal, racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted place called “canada” that everyone is so proud of all of a sudden is finished if he becomes prime minister, he is too stupid for words.

    1. I don’t know yet if he is as dumb as you suggest, but I am certain he isn’t as smart as he thinks he is.

  5. I’m not sure why I’m shocked anymore, but Carney sounds as stupid as Trudeau/Singh and Freeland. How do these people get past flipping burgers? Carney explaining how we don’t buy steel on ctv Atlantic was pure Trudeau. If you told me these losers could tie their own shoelaces I’d call you a liar.

    And not gonna lie, glad to see those polls drifting back even if I don’t have a lot of faith in Pollievre being any sort of an agent of change like Trump.

  6. That the National Post believes Trump is worthy of derision and scorn highlights just how deluded the Canadian mainstream is.
