Trump is a serial rapist but don’t say that over in c/conservative or they will remove your comment. Protect the echo bunker!

We do as well. I have private coverage for things that OHIP doesn’t cover like a private hospital room, massage, physio, and other therapies, eye glasses, dental, and prescription drugs. It’s much, much cheaper than in the US because it is single payer and heavily regulated.

To be clear, it isn’t free healthcare. In Canada we pay our taxes and the government administers the health insurance system. In Ontario where I live it’s the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. It covers most doctors visits and most treatments. I have Hodgins Lymphoma and am nearing the end of my treatment. Dozens of doctors visits, CT scans, x-rays, an echo cardiogram, a respiratory study, two PET scans, and all the drugs and the only thing I’ve paid for out of pocket is parking, and the hospital where I’m being treated just put in free parking for cancer patients and gave me a parking pass. Our government negotiates the price of drugs at the national level and regulates drug prices. Companies aren’t allowed to raise the price of a drug that is on the market unless there is a corresponding improvement in benefit to the patient. They can’t add a coloured band to a capsule, rename the drug (Losec to Prilosec, for example) and double or triple the price. Generic drugs are the same. That’s why epipens are $100 here and not $600 like in the US. There has been no substantion improvement in their benefit to patients so the price can’t go up.

Universal healthcare isn’t perfect but 22 of 23 highly developed countries in the world have it and the US profits before people system is grotesque.

“But I’m allowed to do it, I’m a US citizen and I have the second amendment.”

“Not in [insert country name].” - border guards and police in every other country in the world.

EDIT: The US Constitution provides virtually no protection to the not-born-with-a-silver-spoon-shoved-up-their-ass crowd IN the United States. It’s amazing how many Americans think it will provide any protection OUTSIDE the United States.

This is my BOOM! stick!

I’ve always been a 12 gauge guy myself but that’s a bit showy for the purpose.

In the final act of capitalism the corrupt government is made up of oligarchs who destroy the institutions of government that benefit the people and the oligarch loot every last penny that they can before the people rise up, murder them, redistribute the wealth of the country to the people, and start again.

In France it was the guillotine. In the US it will be in 9 mm pistol.

They’re afraid because they see it coming.

Sorry. I hope your melon has recovered.

Perhaps the 9mm pistol is the guillotine of the next American revolution.

It still does. They try to turn everything good into a slur to devalue it. I’m woke and I’m fucking proud.

I think you give Musk WAY too much credit.

The drug adled guy who caused Twitter to lose 85% of its value and to become a racist hate filled Russian propaganda machine?

This should be good.

Looking back at your comment history would require me to care about anything you have ever said. I didn’t because I don’t.

You’re just salty because you think you won and we know you lost. You expected to be able to gloat and we’re laughing at you.

Yes, he gained ground and the schadenfreude is going to be fucking delicious.

It’s going to turn into an epic self-own and the libs will spend the next four years laughing as they bleat, “I didn’t think it would hurt me personally!” and rubbing it in.

Calling a fascist a fascist is no more name calling than calling a Canadian a Canadian. Calling someone you don’t agree with or whose opinion you are trying to devalue a snowflake is childish name calling.

I’m fact, Mike Godwin himself said, “By all means, compare these shitheads to the Nazis, again and again. I’m with you.”
