You know nothing about Canadian politics. But that's no surprise.


I know enough to know that even in Canada, the provinces are political
subdivisions of the federal government, not sovereign nations.


And that occurs because the system is centrally controlled
and is not a free market.


Bull**** - a free market would _reduce_ service in some of those
rural areas, since it is sell profitable than urban.


So what? That's free enterprise for you.

In Canada,
the governments are willing to maintain more service in rural
areas since it is necessary, not because it is profitable.


Nothing wrong with the government providing services where private industry
won't. What's wrong is that Canada in effect turns private enterprise into a
government agency by controlling the prices private physicians can charge.


Exactly. The government controls and rations health care in Canada.
That's what I've been saying all along. Thanks for confirming it!


No dickhead - it's the right-wing freemarketeers that have ****ed
everything up. You don't get anything.


I get the very best health care in the world whenever I want it, while you
get to wait till your government tells you it has room for you, ****wit.


Yeah...when it was a free market system...


It was a "free market" back in the early sixties and before.
It worked very poorly.


Nah, it's just that the socialists took over.
