Like the southpark episode with the blizzard,when they started eating each other.


I just assumed you would violate the body sexually.

But eating them ..... eeewwwwww. Thats going to far! :lol:


No....A meal is better if it means survival.
A guy's gotta eat!

in case your wondering what it is it's a layer of fat right around the belly,a survival thing.

I'm sure you have many anecdotes concerning the lack of healthcare canada.

My mother was diagnosed and treated for lung cancer in the span of 2 weeks. Perhaps not the norm but whats telling is that surviaval rates for Canada best the US.

Fill your boots and live where you want to live.

Just don't be a prick about it.

On yer bike. :P


Tell that to that poor fellow found dead in the emergency ward in Manitoba a couple of weeks ago after going unnoticed for over 24 hours.

You can have it for you have earned it.


Or the poor women who died in yours after being ignored for a day.

Bottom line is that the US and Canada aren't in competition. If we can learn from each other then bully.

You want to be a prick and disparage Canada when you move to the US to somehow pump yourself up as a better person part of a better society.

Live where you want mate and fill your boots.

Don't for one second think we care that you left and don't believe for one second you opinion of our healthcare matters in the least.

Get it now?

That's one of my bestest friends up north,if you need a doctor there it's an 8 hour flight. And were just friends,she taught me all the inuktitut I needed to know to emberass myself,and then some.

We here in Canada seem to be slow on the uptake when it comes to certain medical practices to the detriment of the fellow(s) I referred to earlier.

By the way, I have two family doctors to my avail. Why is it so many in Canada have trouble finding a family doctor?

The issue about lack of doctors would go away if the US adopted some of the same price caps that Canada has. There would less incentive for Canadian doc's to move south of the border to make more money.

We have twins on the way and I already know that I will have to shell out $3100 minimum for it next year. And that is assuming the NICU docs are part of my plan this year since it varies from year to year. When my first child was born it cost me an extra $1600 on top of the $2000 out of pocket limit on my plan because the NICU docs were not on the plan.

And I am one of the lucky ones that have a descent health plan at work. I feel sorry for the vast majority that have less or none. The total bill for my son's birth was $36k.

So even if we do have more docs, less people are able to afford to go to them and end up using the ER's anyways.

We don't. You are just falling for bollocks.

We have clinics that work quite well.

In the end we Canadians support our system.

You support whatever system you want.

Gotta believe in magic mate.

And that never happens anywhere else...


I cannot stand serious imperfections in a system that is supposedly the most important to everyone bar none.

Doctors are admirable for their diligence and work ethic but as the old saying goes, "You cannot fly with eagles when you are working with turkeys."

Eat those turkeys this weekend. Have a great Thanksgiving, all.

Canada ROCKS! :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

The guy that dies in the HSC was known to the staff. Frequently the poor and homeless take shelter there. He didn't die because of a waiting list, he died because they though he was a vagrant trying to keep warm.
