Canada: Where Fox News is banned and they have universal health care. Yeah, I don’t think their “conservatives” are even remotely close to the conservatives here.

Let’s start with Fox news is NOT banned. Not only is is NOT banned, but we have a new Canadian version SUN TV.

And you don’t understand the Canadian health system. The wait times, the “death panels”, the people for whom there is no hospital room, so they are getting their car in the hallways. Yes they exist.

Also there is a two tier system, the wealthy simply avoid the negatives built in to the system and buy their care in the USA.

OK, let’s start with the fact that this editorial is someone’s opinion, based on anecdotal evidence. She thinks this is why the poor sometimes vote conservative. Yawn…

As for health care, I’m sure the poor would prefer to either wait hours in the ER when they have a medical problem or just die quietly as they do here, but in Canada they’re forced to get care in the hallways. That is sad.

So, publicitystunted…. Are you going to explain your downding? Or do you just do that by reflex?

I mean it is you who seems to think everyone should be explained….

Perhaps you’ve already noticed, but none of LGF’s Canadian members (with *cough* one exception) repeat the ridiculous right-wing propaganda and lies about our healthcare system. You can read about my own experiences here and here.
