While Canada does provide organ transplants to some non-citizens and non-residents, it is not accurate to suggest that "many" or a large percentage of recipients fall into this category. The vast majority of transplant recipients in Canada are citizens or permanent residents, although foreign nationals (including visitors and temporary workers) can be listed for and receive transplants, often on a case-by-case basis.

Yeah, prolly. A reminder that nova scotia and new brunswick are opt out organ donation. Meaning your automatically opted in when you turn 18, unless you specifically opt out.

"It doesn't happen"

"Anyone who says it is happening is a conspiracy theorist clinging to a wild out of context one-off."

"It's fairly rare that it happens, and only with good cause" <-That reply is here.

"Of course its happening, and you're a bigot if you oppose it."

"Get in the pod."
