Canada is a dumpster fire or horrible policies.

let's take some time out from railing about our government and shit on the peeps up north.

 

US dairy’s actually have done this too. They are a part of a dairy union and when they were over producing, rather than drop the price of a gallon of milk, they dumped to “protect the price” and the union paid for it.

I will,  as will they,  take their vacation,  child leave, marijuana, and health care policies/systems though. 

I never have run into many,  if any,  Canadians who didn't enjoy all of these things (excluding marijuana; it's so new I've not heard a "Canadian analysis").

the tweet says the Gov't made him dump it, not the co-op.

Canada is even importing our mess:

https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2023-us-made-gun-exports-canada-shootings/#xj4y7vzkg

 

"Weapons flowed to Canada, Guatemala, Thailand and elsewhere as the National Rifle Association and the National Shooting Sports Foundation primed markets by stoking opposition to gun control. Gun companies had help from the US government, which has used the Commerce Department and embassies to recruit buyers."

"In recent years, though, the number of semiautomatic pistols and assault rifles coming from the US each year has skyrocketed — from just 6,205 in 2003 to more than 66,000 in 2022. While those numbers are a small fraction of US domestic sales, in per capita terms Canada is now the biggest foreign buyer of American rapid-fire weapons."

"Over the same two decades, the country’s annual rate of shootings per capita — incidents referred to as “discharge firearm with intent” — surged almost sevenfold."

I have Canadian friends and they hate the heath care system. Simple follow up procedures from check ups take months to get scheduled in. The govt is not effective at running things.

I may have said this but BC is sending cancer patients to Bellingham WA for cancer treatment.   Why?   Because they can't handle the case load.   No doctors or equipment.   Little Bellingham can for all of BC.  

Now that's saying something about the US system and the Canadian system.

Then you know what it’s like.  I spent a lot of time around two, both run by the same family, during high school and after.  I recently found a distributor for a dairy that’s about 60 miles away.  Grass grazed cows, pasteurized, not homogenized.  Closest thing I’ve had in years.

Those big three penny hookers down at The Pink Pony of Hillsborough and Lois in Tampa don't count, Brain.

Do better.

We take months to get appointments here too.

You're the only one I've truly ever met who alleges he knows Canadians that don't like their health care system.

In other words,  homey ain't buyin' it.

Yeah,  heck,  because,  after all, right from Canadians' mouths isn't accurate.
