Keir Starmer kissing ass for nothing because Trump always planned to backstab Zelenskyy and never had any intention of helping Ukraine. Now is it time to finally get off the fucking fence, Keir? America is an enemy of Europe. Is this wake up call #5000 for Europe or are they going to continue sticking their heads in the sand? Trump set up a trap for Zelenskyy which shows us where his true intentions lie.

I look at America now and don't see it any better than countries like China.

Trump's trip to meet King Charles should be cancelled, if it still goes ahead, I hope Brits make him feel very unwelcome.

All this because Trump hates Zelenskyy only because Zelenskyy wouldn't help him make up some fake bullshit about Hunter Biden. Because Zelenskyy is everything that Trump isn't, Trump is jealous, that Zelenskyy is a braver man than he will ever be.

"The only winner of today is Putin" - Exactly as planned you dumb fucks, Trump is a Putin asset.

Zelensky has reportedly left the White House without signing the minerals deal. The agreement appears to be canceled.

Zelenky stood in front of the American government, in the seat of our democracy, and thanked our entire nation. Every farmer, teacher, engineer, nurse, and cop. Thanked us on behalf of his entire country. youtu.be/7gjwlCe5T6M?...

Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, it's time to acquire nukes of your own.

Here's T.C. (Tommy) Douglas. Father of Canadian Medicare with a currently relevant speech from over 40 years in the past.

And it was no small battle to get Medicare in Canada. It was a war - and they armed themselves with rage and firearms.

Not only is Trump failing to combat inflation in the USA, he is actively increasing it with his actions and gearing up to make it even worse in the coming months. He doesn't fare any better when it comes to fulfilling his promises as a peace president.

One has to wonder if there is even such a thing as a final straw for the Republicans in the senate and the house. Odds are that there isn't.

Lmao. Republicans in House/Senate would put their own mother in a concentration camp if Trump demanded it. There's not a single thing that would turn any of them around, I am convinced of that now, they'll always fall in line and follow the leader, they've lost any shred of morals, decency and courage.

The healthcare system itself is many shades of grey. It works great, but it's severely understaffed in many places. Also underfunded as our family doctor has been sitting with a broken fax machine for over a month already (why do they still use faxes anyway) and my wife had to bring up her own blood results on her phone to show the doctor...

But when it works it's great. My son recently broke his upper arm playing ice hockey. ER visit, x-rays, cat scan, fracture clinic specialist visit, elbow day surgery (3 pins in his upper arm), pain meds, follow up visit next week. Cost to us, zero, one form signed (consent form for surgery) The efficiency of much less paperwork can't be understated. 

Our youngest has chronic acid reflux issues, visits a pediatrician every 3 months to track progress. No wait times there, no cost.

But yes, generally medication isn't covered (only for kids) and you have to pay for that yourself. Luckily there are a lot cheaper alternatives for the same medications in Canada, but still some treatments are out of reach here as well. (There is/was an experimental treatment for my wife's chronic issues, but that would come out to $12,000 a month to import the meds from the USA without any guarantees it would even actually help)


Our main problem is public funding cuts, lack of doctors, especially practitioners and nurses. That's a matter of politics. (F Doug Ford)
And on a smaller scale, the brain drain to the US:

Texas and Alberta have a lot in common. Cattle ranches, rodeos, a booming oil and gas sector, and thousands of Canadian health-care workers.

Ironically, our healthcare system would be a lot better if the US' predatory health system didn't exist...

I only hope there's a final straw for Republican voters. 

Southern evangelical grievance is a hell of a drug, though.
