I honestly was kind of in-favor of government supported healthcare. This changed my view completely. I knew the government was always corrupt but this shows the corruption orders of magnitude worse than many of us thought
A long time ago, I did a weekly-or-so podcast on current events, it was small and had a small audience, which was fine. I had a good time doing it, and who knows, maybe I'll kick it up again someday.
One of my more interesting audience members was someone I'd describe as a Canadian hyper-nationalist who still jived with conservative ideas and found them interesting. But any time the conversation went toward Canada - the government could Do No Wrong and it was in fact, justified, in any move toward Canadian self interest, etc., saw nothing wrong with government owned media monopoly, and so on. We debated here and there but he never really understood the idea that a government could not be trusted to be impartial or unbiased. This was around 2008-2011 or so.
When I see what Trudeau is doing today, I often wonder what this guy would say now. He's more or less gotten what he used to passionately support, and the natural thing has happened - human nature kicks in, the government overreaches, especially once a blatantly self serving person is in power who doesn't mind pulling the levers of power in ways that helps him and hurts his enemies.
Yknow, posting in a place like this that’s concerned with ethics in journalism, you’d think you’d be a little aware of what’s going on by now. You think you can trust a statistic like “99% of ICU patients are unvaccinated” after everything that’s happened over the last year? Ignoring the fact that you pulled that statistic out of your ass for a second, have you not seen how they’ve lied and manipulated and distorted these metrics to push their narrative over the last year? Do you actually think that ICUs are overrun with covid patients? Do you actually think that the covid vaccines are effective and that the push to mandate them is ACTUALLY about public health? C’mon man.
I live in alberta too. Leaving aside the fact that it’s shocking that you lack any basic skepticism about the numbers being reported by the province on a basic level, WHO CARES how many people are unvaccinated or not in the ICU? Covid isn’t any more dangerous than the flu. Did you get that?
COVID ISN’T ANY MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE FLU.
Ok? In light of that fact, you. Are. A. Fucking. Idiot. If you would consider vaccine passports or even further lockdowns a reasonable response to what’s going on. People (sheep) like you are the problem and the reason this idiocy is still being perpetuated.
If medical care is provided for the flu (which it is, flu vaccine or not), it should be provided for covid or anything else, you fascist idiot. It would make more sense to deny medical care to the obese.
Those articles are ALL from before 2020 talking about hospitals and ICUs being overwhelmed by flu patients. It’s normal. I can’t believe that people are so damn gullible, with such short little memories, that they would actually believe this crap for even a second. I can find way more articles like the above btw. You are a fucking NPC for buying into this crap.
I long for the more innocent days when the only she-phrase I was aware of was the dubious 'she-shed' from that one dumb property insurance commercial
Shit like this is a large reason why universal healthcare is a bad idea

Medical services could be obtained at lower cost and with considerably less hassle in a more free market.
And UBI, which I used to be for on a small scale. It completely destroys free market (and job market) incentives and makes people slaves of the state.
Medical Apartheid. How do you like them apples?
My favorite line from Warframe best describes Justin Trudeau.
So, funny story.

Fuck I hate this clown
One more step closer to dictatorship I see.
Time for some high cost tagging.
He's already getting heckled on the streets. It won't end well for him.
It doesn't matter. His potential replacement is just as bad.
Trudeau is Canadian royalty. Nothing will happen to him.
now businesses will make vaccine mandates to suck on those sweet government teats
His name is Justin Castro.
He just really really cares about your health…dammit
I can only see this election going one of two ways. He goes down hard, or we build the northern wall against the cucking horde.
You are a monster. Replaced unvaxxed with blacks, how do you sound.

You are eager to discriminate against someone's medical status, it's no different then skin color or religious discrimination.
