You pay taxes your entire life and then when you finally need help you are left to die.
When limited resources and the decades of security industrial complex nepotism rather than meritocracy, you can be sure that many of these citizens were purposely ignored. If you are not a "chosen one" the Creepy Ones will decide your fate, from birth....

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.”
