I won't touch anything else as not to get political, but it's going to be nice if we can join the rest of the planet and actually be able to buy a six pack at a corner store. It's time to get out of 1950.
Ontario, why you have to go and elect Trump north?
Still was easily the best option. And the results proved most people felt the same. Definitely a poor list of candidates to choose from but change was needed.

That makes sense, seeing as that's one of the worst areas ever to run an ED.The worst is emerge in downtown Vancouver
See, I'm not making this stuff up! That emerge in Vancouver looked more like an episode of the Walking Dead.That makes sense, seeing as that's one of the worst areas ever to run an ED.
Yes, but only AFTER the many hours of wait. I'm not saying my situation was more urgent than others (given the pain I was in though, I shudder to think what the situation of people ahead of me was). I'm saying it is ridiculous for anybody to have to wait this long. Maybe we're taking this for granted here, because maybe we don't know any better. It doesn't have to be this bad.In terms of triage (ie, wait times), like HIPA said, there's so much that goes into the decision of how/when to treat a patient. You came into the hospital with pain. The nurses proceeded to check your vitals. Since you waited so long, that probably means your vitals were pretty decent (for an emergency, at least), and your main problem was pain, and they treated your pain (too well, even. According to you).
This is a very good point. In Vancouver at least, it's other social problems that bleed, so to speak, into healthcare.If there's some people in there for a drug overdose (something much more common in downtown Vancouver than in anywhere in France), then on a busy day, they gotta help that person. In their mind, everything is well enough that you can probably wait a bit longer, and they can now save another life. Not only that, but you also do not see all of the people from up north who get emergency flown into Vancouver because the closest other full-facility hospital with a helipad is in Anchorage (slight exaggeration, but only ever so slightly). Give me an example in France where you can be 1,000km from the nearest major hospital.
Note that that was my very first kidney stone, so I had no idea what it was. You get deferred pain, so it's in your stomach, your organs, and all sorts of unmentionable areas, and it's pain you've never experienced before. I was throwing up bile. I'm no health worker, but in retrospect it makes sense to me that the first thing they did was to see if it was a kidney stone, which it was.An X-ray and everything sounds nice, but it's kind of a waste of money and time for a kidney stone.
Can’t turn down a buck a beer!
The platform of the people.
That makes sense, seeing as that's one of the worst areas ever to run an ED.
Oh, and the bill was very reasonable (can't remember how much, but nothing that I couldn't pay on the spot). I don't know how much an X-ray costs here (obviously, thanks to our system) or in the US, but if it's super expensive, well maybe that's another problem worth looking into?
Easily? You know you're talking about a party with zero platform(populist promises a platform does not make) and a leader that barely graduated high school and has one term as a city councilor as well as being a big Trump supporter, right? What exactly do you think he'll do any better than the NDP would?

I'm not a big fan of Ford but someone else needed a chamce. He was the overwhelming favourite of the people. Lets give him a chance first. And as bad as Wynne was, Horwath might have been even worse. Thank God the NDP didn't get in power.
Curious what was better to you on his platform than the other candidates?
Getting away from politics....
We are moving into an actual house! Yay for a yard!
Why would you actually be happy about having to mow the lawn now?
Its shocking that people think that cutting carbon tax, corporate tax and not increasing taxes won't mean significant cuts elsewhere and to our healthcare.
Unfortunately we have this silly system where it is spend then cut then spend then cut and we get into this cycle of actually never improving our system long term because people care more about the now.
What's also interesting is the federal government will carbon tax companies if provinces don't starting in 2018. So cutting the carbon tax is exceptionally stupid.
You can make 100,000 as a nurse in Canada (it may require working for a few years and a handful of overtime shifts) *** lol
My only point with the carbon tax was that it would be silly for Ontario to get rid of it. Whether you agree or disagree with it, that's not the point I was trying to make.
