There you go again, assuming what I think. Care to explain these "other entities", instead of not providing evidence again? Of course we're being over-taxed thanks to the HST and Carbon Tax, and while Crown does fill its coffers, there is investment in industry; it's just not evident due to spending in other industries. On a federal level, there's investment in trades since many of them are hurting for manpower.

You do know we are surrounded by vast seas and that our corporate neighbour, the USA, is the largest military in the world. If anything this country would get liberated and we can stop sending our citizens to illegal wars which only has boosted opium production in the world. Funny how the illegal drug trade banks in 320 billion a year.

WRONG. The People's Liberation Army of China is the world's largest military. Do you have any legitimate proof of CANADA'S involvement in the illegal drug trade, NOT the alleged US involvement?

I'd like to see accountability, our corporate allies pillage other countries standard of living and we pay great sums of money to support the broken immigrants that arrive in this country. While the system makes no tariffs on imports so that we are jobless and have to fight with each other to make a living. Military, medical, education, infrastructure ect, show us exactly where the money goes..
If you accept this kind of blind spending accountability, your too gullible.

Way to assume what I think again, most spending is reasonably distributed, maybe a little more can go to education. I'm against those who come to the country and hole themselves up in the ethnic community within the community they settled in, wasting resources and living space. Economic protectionism can help with domestic competitiveness, but at the same time, protectionism made the Great Depression worse.

In related news, I finally won something from rrrrroll up the rim

^ Congrats. I never bought anything timmy-drink related until today,and won on my first cup.

All I want to know is how many of those people in the emergency ward really needed to be there?

On top of that, how many were there because they were doing something really, really dumb......... like jumping out into traffic a la exotic1 posts, LOL. Serious fetish with pedestrians coming out of nowhere... I digress.

Typical example of alarmism making a proverbial mountain out of a very tiny molehill.

Some talking heads make it sound as if the Timmy's was across the street and people were being sent outside - this Timmy's is basically an extra room off the MAIN HALLWAY of the ER department, that was outfitted as a coffee shop.

Also consider that TIMMY'S WAS CLOSED FOR THE NIGHT ALREADY. Doors locked, staff gone home, sidewalks rolled up. No customers present.

Thing is, you just can't win - they could build a 50,000 square foot addition to the ER, just for a waiting room, and everyone would complain it's wasted money because it sits unused all the time... then the one time it fills up, they'd complain that it's not big enough. :facepalm:

^^^Enterprise commercial......

"Well, if it wasn't expensive, why didn't you get me a bigger car?"

I see your post was deleted Arash...

Looks like you have been "proclaimed" loser by a mod?:fullofwin:

Anyways, back to the topic at hand. The hospital did what they had to do. People need to be cared for, and in desperation, they had to turn to this. It got the job done, but it shows the needs of the health care system.

Cheese = mind control agent? Another conspiracy theory that doesn't even make sense.

I have multiple family members and friends in the field - and they can all attest to the amount of idiots who enter the ER. My sister - when she was working a late night shift at lions gate - told me that to every other person to entered the ER - she would literally have to ask the question, "What made you come to the ER in the middle of the night for this...?" There are people who would say, "I've had this pain in my stomach for the past few months... I wonder if it's serious." etc.

These are the idiots who clog up the ER's at the hospitals - the ones who don't bother having a regular family physician - , or the hypochondriacs who think they always have some crazy disease when they only have a cold.

I don't support privatized health care like in the states, but with our socialized health care systems - these are the issues that you will get - because people don't have to pay a few thousands dollars for a hospital visit.

This. That woman's mother with the serious heart condition probably only had shortness of breath after exercising or some other menial condition like mild hypertension.
