Straight out of the fascist playbook.

Trump is for sale. He’s not even trying to hide it this time.

Trump is a serial rapist but don’t say that over in c/conservative or they will remove your comment. Protect the echo bunker!

We do as well. I have private coverage for things that OHIP doesn’t cover like a private hospital room, massage, physio, and other therapies, eye glasses, dental, and prescription drugs. It’s much, much cheaper than in the US because it is single payer and heavily regulated.

To be clear, it isn’t free healthcare. In Canada we pay our taxes and the government administers the health insurance system. In Ontario where I live it’s the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. It covers most doctors visits and most treatments. I have Hodgins Lymphoma and am nearing the end of my treatment. Dozens of doctors visits, CT scans, x-rays, an echo cardiogram, a respiratory study, two PET scans, and all the drugs and the only thing I’ve paid for out of pocket is parking, and the hospital where I’m being treated just put in free parking for cancer patients and gave me a parking pass. Our government negotiates the price of drugs at the national level and regulates drug prices. Companies aren’t allowed to raise the price of a drug that is on the market unless there is a corresponding improvement in benefit to the patient. They can’t add a coloured band to a capsule, rename the drug (Losec to Prilosec, for example) and double or triple the price. Generic drugs are the same. That’s why epipens are $100 here and not $600 like in the US. There has been no substantion improvement in their benefit to patients so the price can’t go up.

Universal healthcare isn’t perfect but 22 of 23 highly developed countries in the world have it and the US profits before people system is grotesque.

Carrol couldn’t tell if he raped her with his stubby finger or his tiny penis.

I guarantee that the only promises Trump is going to keep are the ones that will reduce consumer projections, increase profits for corporations, and make the rich richer.

If by fixing healthcare you mean removing consumer protection regulations and increasing profit.

It’s ok, he’s still going to cut energy prices by 50%, right?

Right?

“Freedom of Speech” as glorified in the US means hate speech, racism, and discrimination. Be happy that your don’t have US style free speech. I am as a Canadian.

I was unaware but didn’t care. I assumed that OC was joking.

Cool story, bro.

This is my BOOM! stick!

There is that.

I’ve always been a 12 gauge guy myself but that’s a bit showy for the purpose.

That’s a possibility but it’s not a very interesting story. I like the idea of an anti-capitalist activist performing the first act of the end of late stage capitalism.

In the final act of capitalism the corrupt government is made up of oligarchs who destroy the institutions of government that benefit the people and the oligarch loot every last penny that they can before the people rise up, murder them, redistribute the wealth of the country to the people, and start again.

In France it was the guillotine. In the US it will be in 9 mm pistol.

They’re afraid because they see it coming.

I think that many American gravy seals grossly overestimate what a regular person can do with “five minutes of training” during an actual shooting situating. Look at Uvalde. Did those hundreds of cops who choked and let those children be murdered have “five minutes of training”? Murder fantasies are one thing but actually being in the street with a gun in your hand shooting someone and trying to get away without some other asshole with murder fantasies pulling out a gun and blasting away with no consideration for any innocent unintentional backstop is a whole different ball of wax. Look at those traitorous asshole in the speakers lobby. They planned to murder Mike Pence and other Members if Congress right up until a bullet ripped through Ashli Babbitt’s chest and they realized, “Holy shit, they’re shooting white people out here.” My shooting buddy who did three tours of duty as an infantryman in Norther Ireland during the troubles, two as a combat medic in Bosnia, and many years as a street cop says of weekend warriors in ill-fitting, mismatched, surplus store body armor with consumer grade military lookalike guns and collective murder fantasies, “It all changes when you’re on a two way range.”

Your analysis was funny, though. Thanks for the morning laugh.
