I grew up being told about how amazing and great Canada is. I’m grown now, where is this great Canada? As I’ve grown I’ve seen what Canada did to my fellow native blooded people, wages are pathetic, housing is a disaster, food prices are a joke, healthcare is covering less and less, our government only cares about foreign citizens and not their own.

Where is the greatness of Canada? Cause I sure as fuck can’t see it

Our government has been pissing it all away since at least 1990.

It’s funny how infrastructure doesn’t maintain itself.

Maybe they should try doing that instead of the last 10 years.

jesus christ why not just say “But Harper” outright? At least when the conservatives are in charge, they try fix everything the Liberals broke. But they break shit so bad, it’s hard to come back. We’ll be feeling this Trudeau for 50 years, and we still haven’t recovered from his dad.

Liberals and Conservatives have helmed provincial and federal governments over the decades that it took for these crises to gestate.

Our southern neighbour has a huge lobbying campaign to turn our system in a private health care system.

It’s not that they are actively working towards this that is the problem … it’s equally problematic that we citizens are more than willing to just wander around like zombies and let it all happen.

The most effective lobbying campaign has been being exposed to our system. I am so sick of this fucking tim hortons patriotism bs

You sound successful enough and able to pull yourself up by the bootstraps down south, why not have a go at it and leave us to fester in our socialist hellhole?

That was the plan before I ran across this current opportunity. Maybe in 5 years when I have all the kinks out and don’t have to supervise directly.

I think we’re privatizing ourselves quite nicely without their help.

It’s hard to (directly) blame the US when we insist on underpaying our health care staff on our own. We also reduced the number of spots for training nurses and doctors during the 1990s.
