A) I have an income tax bill that tells me that its NOT practically given to me. We pay almost the highest taxes in the world
B) If using socialized health care is a valid excuse to tell people how to live their lives, then please allow me opt out so i dont have to be parented by the government and do-gooders who think they know better than i do. |
omg +1 for B
and I've heard enough of stories about people sitting in emergency rooms with broken limbs in augony for hours and noone would attend them! oh, and what about seeing a doctor with obvious signs of fever and heavy cough and given some stupid Tylenol?! so this is the system you guys are wasting your taxes on? (i'm not a resident yet) |

Our healthcare may suck but at least it is still free.
I for one is very grateful for the fact that we don't have to worry about hefty bills waiting in the ER for our loved ones to have surgery performed on them.
It's better than nothing. |

Why because you're under 18 and can't lay outside and tan? |
I guess sarcasm is that hard to detect on the internet. :p |

You seem to be missing the fact that if we don't protect the morons for themselves, we pay the consequences.
Why do you think we have such high taxes? One of the reasons is because there are so many idiots making so many moronic decisions, and ending up in the hospitals, or destroying public property, with high cost to the government.
You should be proud of yourself that you can make smart decisions for your own life. Good for you. Not everyone else seems to have the brains to do so as well.
If this seems like common sense to you, then it really shouldn't bother you.
Perhaps we should abandon the law that people be required to wear seat belts?
Are you willing to forego the tax hike because thousands are suffering worse injuries in car accidents? |

Our healthcare system is s true disaster.I went to the sunny brook hospital last week and I was waiting to see a doctor for 8 hours.
There was honeslty people dying right in front of me and nobody gave two s about them.
people in the emergency like me and my sister were helping old people to go the washroom and etc and not once any nurse came to see if they needed help.They wouldnt even give them blankets to sleep.
There was garbage all over the place and the washrooms were beyond filthy.they were telling people to go home because throughout the whole emergecy there was only ONE yes ONE doctor working.This is in disgusting and we are suppose to be a rich country not a third world country.
Perhaps maybe if our healthcare wasnt free,we would be getting way better services. |

I'm not sure you fully understand the picture. You compare Canada to developing nations like China, and fail to realize differences in economic structure, and government involvement. Doesn't it say something that our country is full of morons? We pay here regardless. There ARE better systems out there, and Canada has the full potential to reach them, if it so had the desire. Some changes should be imposed, and some liberties should be given. Policing minutae detail will only create an even greater populace of morons.
BTW, isn't this law allready in effect in Quebec? You need to be either 18, or have parental permission to use one..? |

| I say Ontario should just ban people under the age of 18. When you are born you are taken to BC and when you turn 18 then you can come back. |
