I wonder if they offer the Creepy Ones who have destroyed our nation through their covert police abuses the MAID option when they seek medical assistance?

Canada is failing its citizens and America knows this. The strategy is to wait Trump out, however, if the Trump administration rips up USMCA and negotiations separate deals with the us and Mexico, or worse, focuses provincially to divide Canada even more; with how much the caste system has decimated this nations most endearing qualities, there will be no one willing to fight for Canadas future when situation demands it.

Don't blame me, I am one of it's many once unwitting victims as the TPS, Peel Region Police, DRPS and OPP, among others, milked the system of tens of millions just to destroy one kid. Multiply these nefarious acts against our population by many thousands and you can see how an unaccountable covert police state which rewards the least impressive among us while destroying its most driven and patriotic has lost faith from its citizens, perhaps irreparably.

America must look to Japan and other allies who believe in American Values and will fight for them, sacrificing their flesh and blood for freedom because we have long failed our nation. I will keep spreading the news and demanding accountability as they steal my home after decades of stealing my dreams. I hope the federal government, Public Safety Minister and other key stakeholders heed my warning because details and truth spread fast in todays small world of rapid communication.

To the more than 23,000 who died waiting, many of us tried to clean up this corrupt system of abusers and their feckless boot lickers who happily destroyed their fellow citizen. Weak, lying, heathen, rats have overrun the ship. Our duty is to align with those who demand accountability and stand up for our Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Any violator in a position of power is an enemy to all that is good.

If our politicians won't protect us I ask that Americans meander with our population and reach out to us who pursue the rights ordained by G-d. We are getting destroyed here and you are well aware of this by now.


A new report is raising alarm over growing wait-list deaths in Canada.

The report from public policy think tank SecondStreet.org revealed that at least 23,746 patients died in Canada while waiting for surgeries or diagnostic procedures between April 2024 and March 2025.

The figures are a three per cent increase from the previous year and push the total number of reported wait-list deaths since 2018 to more than 100,000.


The organization says the findings are based on freedom of information (FOI) requests summitted to more than 40 provincial and territorial health bodies.

The report warned that several jurisdictions provided only partial data, while Alberta and some parts of Manitoba provided none, meaning the true total is likely higher.

“It’s interesting that governments will regularly inspect restaurants and report publicly if there’s a minor problem such as a missing paper towel holder,” SecondStreet.org president Colin Craig said in a news release. “Meanwhile, no government reports publicly on patients dying on waiting lists. It’s quite hypocritical.”


Behind the numbers​

Behind the statistics are the lives of Canadians like Debbie Fewster, a Manitoba mother of three who was told in July 2024 she needed heart surgery within three weeks, the report says.

Instead, she waited more than two months. She died on Thanksgiving Day.

Her death, like many others, became public only because her family spoke out, the report says.

Similar stories have emerged across the country: 19-year-old Laura Hillier and 16-year-old Finlay van der Werken of Ontario who died while waiting for treatment; Alberta’s Jerry Dunham also passed away in 2020 while waiting for a pacemaker.

Widespread strain​

Ontario recorded the highest number of wait-list deaths: 10,634, including more than 9,100 diagnostic-scan deaths where patients died before reaching the point of receiving or being scheduled for surgery.

Quebec was second with 6,290, while B.C. followed with 4,620. Smaller provinces also saw a number of deaths including Nova Scotia (727), Newfoundland and Labrador (542), Saskatchewan (419), Prince Edward Island (178) and New Brunswick (121).

Manitoba reported 215 deaths but that data is partial.

The report emphasizes that the bulk of wait-list deaths occurred among patients awaiting procedures that could have improved their quality of life, such as hip and knee surgeries, cataract operations and MRIs, but a significant subset involved potentially life-saving interventions including heart surgeries and cancer treatments.

Ontario’s cardiac data alone showed 355 deaths among patients waiting for heart procedures. In at least 90 cases, patients waited beyond recommended timelines or more than 90 days.

The wait times associated with some recorded deaths ranged from under a week to nearly nine years.

The organization noted that even waiting for “non-life-saving” procedures can become life-altering. Patients awaiting cataract surgery may lose functional vision, for example, while those waiting for joint replacement often live sedentary lives increasing the risk of falls, blood clots or other complications.

Issue isn’t funding: report​

At $244 billion, public health-care spending from 2024 to 2025 reached a historic high, the report said, with per-capita spending tripling to $5,943 from the mid-1990s. Canada also remains one of the world’s top health-care spenders.

But high spending has not translated into improved performance, the report said.

The brief cites research from the Fraser Institute showing Canada has fewer doctors, hospital beds and MRI machines per capita than many other universal health-care systems – and longer wait times.

Calls for reform​

The brief outlines key policy options that provincial governments could adopt to reduce wait times and prevent further deaths.

One is tracking and disclosing wait-list deaths. A 2021 poll commissioned by SecondStreet.org found that 79 per cent of Canadians think governments should carefully track and disclose data on how long patients wait for care, how that compares to maximum recommended waiting periods, and what the eventual patient outcome is.

Another proposed policy change is adopting activity-based funding where hospitals are paid based on the number of patients they treat rather than receiving large annual lump-sum budgets.

Other recommendations include partnering with private clinics at lower costs than hospitals, providing patients a mix of public and private options, and adopting an EU-style “Cross Border Directive” that would allow patients to seek treatment elsewhere either within or outside Canada and be reimbursed up to the amount their provincial government would have spent.

Interesting.
A view of longevity by country 2025 lists Canada as 19th in the world, compared to the United States in 48th place.

So if true, shouldn't you move to Canada to enjoy a longer and healthier life?

Where are the experts that went after me for stating the very same thing about Canadian socialist healthcare systems. Lower pay, more law suits mean less doctors and other healthcare persons available.

I would not mind being there for skiing. A month to enjoy your slopes would be cool, but, I will most likely beat the longevity odds/averages, right down here in Tennessee. My dad passed at 85, my mother at 86. My granddad (dad's dad) made it to 85, and a car accident, where he was driving. My great-grandmother on my father's side passed a 103, only 14 days from her 104th birthday and walked half a mile, the day she died. She was in her rocking chair, watching "Gun Smoke" and simply quit rocking. At 71, I am still very active, no aches and pains, no known medical ailments, slim, in shape for my age, kind of like great-grandmother. It is unlikely, I will make it, far as great-grandmother, but will probably make to or past the age of the males that preceded me in our line.

Terrible. In the U.S. they would have spent tens of thousands of dollars over their lives to be immediately denied coverage instead of being provided with this false hope.
 
That's a pretty cold blooded way for Canada to control healthcare costs. I can't believe any American would want a "Single Payer" healthcare system when we have such an egregious example right next door to us.
The US is no different. Did you learn nothing from the Covid fiasco?
 
condolences W6......but i suppose there's worse ways to go......~S~
Thanks, but it was a long, long time ago, when I was in grammar school. So, when I say watching Gunsmoke, I am talking about when it was on prime time, weekly. Definitely worse ways to go. No debilitating illness, no injury she had not recovered from. Born during the Civil War. She made past Kennedy, getting a letter from the sitting President on her 100th birthday.

I would not mind being there for skiing. A month to enjoy your slopes would be cool, but, I will most likely beat the longevity odds/averages, right down here in Tennessee. My dad passed at 85, my mother at 86. My granddad (dad's dad) made it to 85, and a car accident, where he was driving. My great-grandmother on my father's side passed a 103, only 14 days from her 104th birthday and walked half a mile, the day she died. She was in her rocking chair, watching "Gun Smoke" and simply quit rocking. At 71, I am still very active, no aches and pains, no known medical ailments, slim, in shape for my age, kind of like great-grandmother. It is unlikely, I will make it, far as great-grandmother, but will probably make to or past the age of the males that preceded me in our line.
My aunt died about 2 years back. She was just shy of her 101st birthday.
 
Life expectancy and health are not often related.
Often, they actually are. If you have chronic health conditions, you are not likely to exceed the actuary tables of life expectancy averages in the country or even state in which you live. I have always maintained good health, for years forced to not only stay in shape, but to set the example of staying in shape, so I still do, and remain very healthy. In my case, genetics is probably a big factor, also. Like I said, my great-grandmother was born in 1862. In 1862 the average life expectancy in Tennessee was about 39 years, but she made it to almost 104. She was a heathy, little old lady. I never knew her to be sick, but she broke her hip when I was 6 or 7, but remained healthy and overcame that, to get back to doing her daily walks, half a mile up the dead end road, from the house she lived in with her younger sister, who was only in her late 80s or early 90s, again, pretty unusual for rural West Tennessee.

Many Americans are decidedly unhealthy in mind, body, and lifestyle, apparently more so, than in Canada. All of these come together to bring down the average life expectancy in the United States, compared to much of the world.
 
I wonder if they offer the Creepy Ones who have destroyed our nation through their covert police abuses the MAID option when they seek medical assistance?

Canada is failing its citizens and America knows this. The strategy is to wait Trump out, however, if the Trump administration rips up USMCA and negotiations separate deals with the us and Mexico, or worse, focuses provincially to divide Canada even more; with how much the caste system has decimated this nations most endearing qualities, there will be no one willing to fight for Canadas future when situation demands it.

Don't blame me, I am one of it's many once unwitting victims as the TPS, Peel Region Police, DRPS and OPP, among others, milked the system of tens of millions just to destroy one kid. Multiply these nefarious acts against our population by many thousands and you can see how an unaccountable covert police state which rewards the least impressive among us while destroying its most driven and patriotic has lost faith from its citizens, perhaps irreparably.

America must look to Japan and other allies who believe in American Values and will fight for them, sacrificing their flesh and blood for freedom because we have long failed our nation. I will keep spreading the news and demanding accountability as they steal my home after decades of stealing my dreams. I hope the federal government, Public Safety Minister and other key stakeholders heed my warning because details and truth spread fast in todays small world of rapid communication.

To the more than 23,000 who died waiting, many of us tried to clean up this corrupt system of abusers and their feckless boot lickers who happily destroyed their fellow citizen.

The report from public policy think tank SecondStreet.org revealed that at least 23,746 patients died in Canada while waiting for surgeries or diagnostic procedures between April 2024 and March 2025.

The figures are a three per cent increase from the previous year and push the total number of reported wait-list deaths since 2018 to more than 100,000.


The organization says the findings are based on freedom of information (FOI) requests summitted to more than 40 provincial and territorial health bodies.

The report warned that several jurisdictions provided only partial data, while Alberta and some parts of Manitoba provided none, meaning the true total is likely higher.

“It’s interesting that governments will regularly inspect restaurants and report publicly if there’s a minor problem such as a missing paper towel holder,” SecondStreet.org president Colin Craig said in a news release. “Meanwhile, no government reports publicly on patients dying on waiting lists.

Ontario recorded the highest number of wait-list deaths: 10,634, including more than 9,100 diagnostic-scan deaths where patients died before reaching the point of receiving or being scheduled for surgery.

Quebec was second with 6,290, while B.C. followed with 4,620. Smaller provinces also saw a number of deaths including Nova Scotia (727), Newfoundland and Labrador (542), Saskatchewan (419), Prince Edward Island (178) and New Brunswick (121).

Manitoba reported 215 deaths but that data is partial.

The report emphasizes that the bulk of wait-list deaths occurred among patients awaiting procedures that could have improved their quality of life, such as hip and knee surgeries, cataract operations and MRIs, but a significant subset involved potentially life-saving interventions including heart surgeries and cancer treatments.

Ontario’s cardiac data alone showed 355 deaths among patients waiting for heart procedures. In at least 90 cases, patients waited beyond recommended timelines or more than 90 days.

The wait times associated with some recorded deaths ranged from under a week to nearly nine years.

The organization noted that even waiting for “non-life-saving” procedures can become life-altering. Patients awaiting cataract surgery may lose functional vision, for example, while those waiting for joint replacement often live sedentary lives increasing the risk of falls, blood clots or other complications.

Issue isn’t funding: report​

At $244 billion, public health-care spending from 2024 to 2025 reached a historic high, the report said, with per-capita spending tripling to $5,943 from the mid-1990s. Canada also remains one of the world’s top health-care spenders.

But high spending has not translated into improved performance, the report said.

The brief cites research from the Fraser Institute showing Canada has fewer doctors, hospital beds and MRI machines per capita than many other universal health-care systems – and longer wait times.

Calls for reform​

The brief outlines key policy options that provincial governments could adopt to reduce wait times and prevent further deaths.

One is tracking and disclosing wait-list deaths. A 2021 poll commissioned by SecondStreet.org found that 79 per cent of Canadians think governments should carefully track and disclose data on how long patients wait for care, how that compares to maximum recommended waiting periods, and what the eventual patient outcome is.

Another proposed policy change is adopting activity-based funding where hospitals are paid based on the number of patients they treat rather than receiving large annual lump-sum budgets.

Other recommendations include partnering with private clinics at lower costs than hospitals, providing patients a mix of public and private options, and adopting an EU-style “Cross Border Directive” that would allow patients to seek treatment elsewhere either within or outside Canada and be reimbursed up to the amount their provincial government would have spent.
Canada was sold a bill of goods, the same lousy type system Obama and his corrupt cronies shoved down the throats of Americans in the dead of night without one Republican vote.
I'm sorry for Canada. :sad:

No, we are victims of an enforced caste system. The elites will get healthcare, the poor will die, even if they both pay an equal percentage into the system.

Well said. I hadn't thought of it in those terms.
 

I am endeavoring to persuade the new Canadian administration to rectify the profound injustices inflicted upon individuals such as myself and a myriad of others. The egregious excesses perpetrated by law enforcement entities such as manipulating judicial proceedings, wielding legal warfare to eviscerate the fundamental rights of citizens.

All of this, while also engaging in relentless meddling and sabotage within my professional pursuits, have exacted a toll of millions in personal lost earnings, not to mention the forfeiture of Canadian employment opportunities that I played a pivotal role in fostering years ago (a saga of considerable depth, I assure you, wherein the positions generated would have proliferated exponentially, given my fatique-less zeal).

Canada has staked its fortunes on the antiquated presumption that America would naively perceive our bilateral relations as frozen in the long-gone era of 1952, with Canada and the United States more unwavering allies. We have cynically capitalized upon the valorous sacrifices of our fallen World War II veterans to insinuate to our American counterparts, "Behold, we are kindred spirits, having battled shoulder-to-shoulder in the shared cause of freedom!"

Except, we have never kept our end of the bargain across the unaccountable and abusive security industrial complex.

Regrettably, numerous policing institutions have desecrated those hallowed legacies, exploiting them to destroy the system for personal gain and unchecked authority. From the RCMP cascading on downwards through the ranks of municipal police forces, we have insidiously propagated antipathy toward the United States while systematically forsaking the principles of liberty.

A golden opportunity arose during the much beloved tenure of Mulroney and Reagan, culminating in the negotiation of NAFTA. Rather than reforming our conduct to emulate American ideals, we betrayed both our own populace and the noble values that America in essence safeguarded on our behalf.

At the present juncture, burdened by unprecedented indebtedness in U.S, and with Canada flagrantly permitting the egregious violations endured by citizens such to myself, all while perpetuating a quiet but increasingly overt venomous disdain for the United States, we find ourselves in a diminished state regarding our global goodwill.

I will keep applying all the pressure and details I can but without meaningful employment and a future condition of homelessness; I am going to need some rallying from external, even international agencies. It is THAT large a moral deficit that I must overcome.

I'm trying to influence the new government to correct the harm done to those like myself and many others. The abuses of police agencies, controlling the courts, using lawfare to decimate citizens rights, perpetual interference and tampering into my careers which has cost me millions and surely Canadian jobs that I was a big part in producing year ago (a long story, I assure you the jobs created would have multiplied as I was tireless).

Canada has banked on the belief America would blindly believe it's still 1952 and Canada and the U.S are staunch partners. We leveraged the sacrifices of our dead WWII vets to suggest to America, "look, we are just like you, we fought soldier to soldier for liberty!".

Unfortunately, many police apparatuses exploited their sacrifices to spit in their graves and milk the system for their own benefit and powers. From the RCMP on down, we have systemically spread hatred for the U.S and long turned our back on liberty.

We had a chance when Mulroney and Reagan were both in power. We negotiated the best free trade deal in NAFTA. Instead of altering our behaviour and becoming more like America, we betrayed both our own citizens and that which America protected us to uphold.

Now with record debt in the U.S and Canada clearly allowing violation of citizens like myself while maintaining that spreading of hatred against the U.S, we are in a far worse position in terms of our goodwill.

Simply brilliant. I'll try to comment more on it at a later date, when I have more time. 👍
