Canadian healthcare isn't failing because of a lack of money or compassion; it's failing because the constitutional system that governs it was designed for four small British colonies in 1867 and has never been properly updated for a twenty-first-century,
This is a heartbreaking, preventable tragedy and it should never have happened in Canada. While we have universal health care, it’s run by the provinces. This happened in Alberta, under Premier Danielle Smith, after years of health-care cuts and warnings from frontline workers.

I think you're very wrong. Our system is not only broken, but irreparable. The ratio between medical staff and administrative staff in Canada is 4 to 1. The ratio of medical staff to administrative staff in Germany is 80 to 1. You have to look no further than 10 independent
This tragedy is real. The conclusion is wrong. Canada is not “broken.” If you want to see a broken system, look south where people struggle to afford food, face four-figure insurance premiums, and are still denied care. Canada has universal health care, and it works when it’s

Wrong. Wrong Wrong. This is a much bigger problem than you can even begin to understand. Canadian healthcare isn't failing because of a lack of money or compassion; it's failing because the constitutional system that governs it was designed for four small British colonies in 1867
Thankyou Danielle Smith ! You’re simply negligent and incompetent !

Is this the way the next evolution of intelligence expands into the universe? AI will start consuming energy from stars to grow. Its need for energy will grow until it darkens all the stars and kills any other life that depends on the heat. Sounds like a plot for a new Star Trek
SPACEX'S GOAL? TO POWER AI WITH EXAWATTS – FROM MARS AI’s energy bill got so rude it’s leaving the planet! Mission Brief: * Exawatts are the new baseline – Earth can’t keep up. * SpaceX plans orbital data centers + Mars solar to feed the beast. * Terrestrial rivals are

This is the definition of Constitutional insanity. This is only one of the litany of trade grievances the US has with Canada. Dairy supply management, which strictly controls production and imports to shield Quebec producers, triggering over-quota tariffs that can exceed 200% on
Dairy farmers dump at least 600 million litres of milk every year to keep prices high, receive free quota allocations, and collect billions in subsidies and trade-deal compensation—all while Canadians pay inflated prices for dairy at the grocery store. When does this insanity

I use all of them, and Grok is by far the best. I pay full price for each of the "others," and I am about to stop using the "others."

Combining representative and direct democracy is finally possible due to blockchain technology. Read the white paper: https://t.co/WGkN65y5vo
I have given up hope that our current voting system will give us representative government in our legislative branch nor will the existing members allow it to change. The House was meant to be the voice of the people's and the senate meant to be the voice of the states. Might

Don't believe a word. In 1996, I was co-chair of REDO, which dealt with Paul Martin's 45,000 (15,000 left from Ottawa) early-retirement and early-departure incentives. Surprise! After two years (1998), the total number of federal workers in Ottawa had increased by 300 despite
🚨🇨🇦 MASS PUBLIC SERVICE PURGE BEGINS Ottawa just pulled the quietest trigger in Canadian history: 68,000 federal workers got early-retirement letters as the government prepares to cut 28,000 jobs by 2029. No pension penalty. One year to decide. 300 days to disappear. Unions

I don't think any Canadian leader can fix our problems. The Canadian Constitution stands between us and prosperity because we can't fix it. We can not improve it without destroying Canada first. “Canada’s Constitution is one of the most difficult in the world to amend — some

Because we are losing a war with the Globalists. The bots are attacking you because they do not think Canadians are strong. Once we were strong. In the Pearson era—the golden 1960s—Canada punched far above its weight. Lester B. Pearson’s government oversaw an economy that
Can someone explain to me like my elbows are up how is it considered 'treasonous' to want Canada to be part of the United States... But not treasonous to want Canada to be part of the European Union? Make it make sense!

When Trump tweeted that Canada would make a great 51st State. Boomers' heads exploded; they got huffy, yelled a bit, and brushed off the suggestion as a crazy idea from the 47th President. But Canada and the US have been flirting with a continental agreement for 160 years: 1849
Let's say Canada does manage to diversify its trade away from America... What's stopping the Americans from simply shutting down our airspace and blocking our seaports? With no trade, we'd be crippled. Canada only exists by the good graces of the USA.

Canada's decentralized healthcare system has flaws. A key solution is centralization—transferring funding, oversight, and management from provinces to a federal authority. Countries like Germany, which outperform Canada in healthcare metrics, demonstrate that a centralized system
This is a disgrace. The inability for our country to think outside the box, to modernize and to pivot when something isn’t working, costs Canadian lives. Our healthcare system doesn’t deserve the moral high ground everyone assigns to it.

He needs to resign. That is the only way to get Canada back to the negotiating table to discuss trade with our most important and closest trading partner.
Doug Ford managed to not only screw Ontario, but this time, all of Canada. Great job, idiot.

Our governance system in #Canada is completely broken. We are paralyzed -- overmanaged and overregulated, and our #constitutionalcrisis does not give us a way out. We need #Canada 3.0 -- a new start.
Good luck to "Team Canada" trying to diversify our trading partners away from the U.S. while we can't even get the provinces to agree on moving our own oil to the West Coast or to the Maritimes.

You nailed it!
HOLY 💩 TRUMP JUST DROPPED A BOMB: $20 TRILLION in new INVESTMENTS by the end of the year 10× the size of the ENTIRE Canadian economy Meanwhile… Mark Carney wants to MOVE TRADE AWAY from the U.S. You have to be COMPLETELY BRAIN-DEAD to make that move. https://t.co/mJdu3WXlsV

Dr. Ian Lee has an excellent and unbiased understanding of how economics operate in the real world. Canada is heading in the wrong direction, and we need Canada 3.0 before it's too late.
🚨BREAKING Business expert Ian Lee (I actually really respect this guy) confirms that "this is the beginning of the end" ..for the Canadian auto manu. industry. "Our advantage was that we had tariff free access to the USA."

Canada is currently governed by those who aim to undermine our prosperity and liberty. We need a better version—Canada 3.0.
Companies thinking of coming to Canada to invest: Provincial approval needed Federal approval needed Indigenous approval needed Industrial carbon tax that goes up each year High energy costs Forced to be “net zero” compliant Ya, let’s just invest in the U.S. The Government:
