That second part hasn't been working for a while but thanks to covid at least now it's more understandable. I just need some way to make money. No jobs, no money. I don't want to be locked into one career since almost everything is so specialized now that you need two years of training to even take a job beyond pressing the "create burger" button at mickey dees. University is a scam. Tradeschool may not be as bad but given the rona response I can't imagine there's much of a boom in those departments. And now we're heading toward economic collapse and I'm just sitting here leeching off my parents unable to support myself. Pretty fucking gay.

I realized this long ago.
Being a leaf, everyone is taken care of medically, no matter what.
Before covid, the system was beyond capacity and strained to the edges of its capability. All the while draining our federal coffers.
My tax rate was (it’s going up soon) 40%.
I’m 30yo. Always have been healthy, lift, eat right etc
The system is full of people who don’t give a fuck about themselves and don’t give a fuck about how much their dysfunction will cost the system.
Millions upon millions of people, sick people, either by choice or circumstance. All needing some form of medical attention and subsidy, at all times. What happens when this system breaks completely?
>it won’t.
Kek it will.
Then what? All these people who just ‘exist’ sucking off state healthcare and welfare will literally die.
Universal healthcare is a nice thought. It’s also impossible to maintain in times of hardship. Times like we are about to endure. Times similar to the 1930s.
Only there was no state funded healthcare then. There also was not hordes of sickly subhuman filth who filled up the system then, either.
We have had it way too easy, for way too long.
I am not paying taxes this year. I refuse to subsidize a government that is destroying this country through incompetence and a socialist agenda.
I will take the consequences, whatever they may be.

Whatever you say, homorino.
It’s not a human right. Especially when we have opened up the country to essentially any pos who has the initiative to be here. And why wouldn’t they? Given the chance. It’s a no brainer.
You have no idea what it’s like here.
Universal healthcare is only one aspect of our creep towards communism.
Every person over the age of 18 gets $2000/month, if they want it. And millions do. It’s to the point people are just staying on that rather than working, as to be expected. At a cost of 22-27 billion $ a month. We don’t have that kind of money.
Tax revenue has been decimated from both income tax deficits and natural resource industry collapse. Yet we are spending more than ever before, with no end in sight.
There is no plan.

Yeah and Canadian health care isn’t even that good quality. Doctors will often do zero preventative measures if you have something because to diagnose things it costs the system a lot of money and every hospital has an incentive to keep their spending low, or the Canadian government gets mad if one hospital for example is costing more then other hospitals. So if you feel like shit and want a cat scan or m.r.i or something to diagnose a back problem for example your doctor will often just tell you to do some stretches and takes some pills and see how you feel in a few months time when you see him again and rinse and repeat until you are in debilitating condition then he’ll order in the tests and do what’s necessary to fix your condition and yes it takes months and months to see a specialists that can actually do something for you.

Socialist medicine can't do any preventative care for two reasons. The first is that it simply can't afford it. It's a bare bones as it gets. The second reason is that it's politically incorrect to liberals. You can't tell 400lb whales that they are refused care because it's their own fault. You already see it in California, where they are trying to make it so that smoking and hard drug use cannot be a screening criteria for job applications. What makes you think this won't inevitably be applied to healthcare too?

Once immigrants are approved, they can also bring their whole family over as permanent residents. People don’t know this.
