If you’re dead

Tommy Douglas: Not Dead Enough 22 Comments

Of cancer you really don’t care if the hospital that might have saved you has a different medical standard.

The Canadian government says that although Canadians may seek medical care in other countries, they need to be aware of the risks involved.
“It is important to remember that medical practices, health standards and infection control measures in other countries may differ from those in Canada and could result in lower quality medical care,” the government says on its website.

KIll a medic, get money.

I am sickened. Who says murdering scum-bag terrorists don’t profit.
And please, no death threats in the comments section.
If Canada had any spine in the PMO, this whole payment will go to Khadr’s victims but I don’t know the law in this nor do I think the PMO knows what a backbone is.

Speer’s widow, Tabitha, and former soldier Layne Morris, who was wounded in the firefight and lost sight in one eye, sued Khadr in a Utah court for damages. In 2015, a Salt Lake judge handed down a $134.2-million (U.S.) default settlement after receiving no reply from Khadr or his lawyers.
