I hate how we are sleep walking towards privatized health care. And to do it via faith based health care is just disgusting.

I'm so, so sorry guys. American-style for-profit healthcare is hell. The Medical Industrial Complex needs to be stopped.

My mother moved from Ontario to Alberta a few years back because she said it was the "last place in Canada that respects my freedom". I probably don't need to tell you she dove head-first into the barrel of pig shit that is internet conspiracy theories over the course of the pandemic.

She's chronically ill with a leukemia that is successfully managed by medication -- but it requires regular care from experts or she could have a stroke or heart attack. She was also showing signs of dementia before I had to go zero-contact with her. As much as I don't wish her harm... I suspect she won't live long enough to regret her decision for very long.

Expect healthcare to fully disappear after the Cons win Federally in the next election. Unless of course if Quebec can save us
