    1. Stop all Western medications, plastic IV drip lines. No more fancy western medical gasses. No scalpels. And computers? And micro, robotic, surgery?! Ha! Out. Of. The. Question. Your “knee replacement” now consists of two birch limbs strapped together with moose sinew.

    1. I used to imagine that visiting Canada would be safe. My wife was astonished how much Edmonton was like the U.S. I guess I better not need medical care if I visit.

  1. Before Florence Effing Nightingale people were just allowed to die. I remember reading an account of the 1812 Battle of Smolensk, I believe. When the French Army returned from Moscow two or three months later thousands of grossly disfigured untreated French soldiers were still there. My great-great-great grandfather managed to survive these battles. Western nursing is all about compassion.

  2. Nursing in Canada is a provincially regulated license, and the federal “Canadian Nursing Association” is a voluntary advocacy group.

    The CNA members may be thought of as professionals but when a nurse moves from one province to another they must contact and pay membership with the provincial nursing association prior to beginning work, and if the CNA ceased to be, nurses would still register in the province they reside and work in as they do now.
    You can’t register with them only, and practice without the provincial registration. In Alberta you can look up a nurse’s name to see if they are an actual nurse. Today they have a few people listed there who are saying they’re nurses, but who are not.

    The CNA group says they have a role, but it is vague… and again, it’s voluntary.

    Denouncing “white, Euro-centric” foundations may suit their political advocacy, but the same as their organization, it doesn’t actually play a role beyond advocacy.
    The Gov’t of Canada gave them a little over $100k last year, they are a registered lobby group.

    1. Do not laugh. My very far left sister in Oregon was a bit putoff when the vice-principal at her daughter’s junior high showed up for an event with a bone through her nose.

  3. Viewed a clip by an old military retiree in the UK, whose handle is History Debunked. The latter part of the clip was about the near exclusion of white nurses in hospitals. He explained that it was no mere coincidence but the outcome of a PLAN. I don’t recall the details of the plan but it was probably about the cost of domestic training. Must look for it and view again.

    BUT clearly it’s a PLAN just as this monstrosity is. Brown nurses will not blanch under this code.
