 @3967703f My grandfather, who lived in NJ had a surgery for his prostate that didn’t need to be done, since he was taking medication. It was botched up and although he lived to 103, the last ten or more years was much tougher then it should have been. We have the parties of the right, who want to take us on the path that the US has. But in Canada, we are are mostly to the left of centre. 
 @88f5e184 It's disgusting what happens here. Let us be a cautionary tale for the world. Don't be like us. 
 @3967703f I hope common sense will spread across the globe and these problems will be addressed. In the states, people have to look at other countries and that their lot as it is now, doesn’t have to be. 
 @88f5e184 I agree. There are models that work better and we need to employ them here.
