There is apparently no end to the lunacy inflicted on Canadians by the Liberal government. Our health care system - at one time, the envy of most other nations - is now, itself, on life support. This is, in large part, due to the unfettered influx of literally millions of immigrants in a short period, overwhelming existing facilities. Most, if not all of these new Canadians, had little, or poor medical care in their home countries.

Like most other Canadians, I've been, and continue to be, a victim of this government-sponsored idiocy. At 80, I'm going on my eighth consecutive year without a family doctor. BTW, I am in that now-shrinking minority, a white, Anglo Saxon 10th generation Canadian. Recently, out of necessity, I visited the one, operating walk-in clinic in Ottawa for a pressing medical issue. This single clinic was the only one available to support the needs of a city of one million people. At 9 am, I joined a lineup of 30-40 people, waiting outside, to get into the inner lineup of another 20 people. After a total of 5 hours waiting, I finally got to see a (doctor?) who was unable to communicate with me in my native tongue - English. To my knowledge, among the 50 - 60 people I encountered during that miserable experience, only three others were non-visible minorities, the vast majority were middle-eastern. I am not being racist, simply reporting what I experienced. I asked myself; why aren't all these people at work? None of them appeared to be in any immediate medical distress. I guess that's because they don't have jobs - which is an issue for another time.

To require, by Government decree, our medical professionals to bow to this nonsensical, woke agenda, largely to support new immigrants, is sheer madness.

Could someone please, arrange a psychiatric exam for the person who proposed this?

It’s absolutely ludicrous here in Canada! We are seriously looking to relocate to the USA. and don’t kid yourself on what we actually do pay for medical here, it is NOT free at all!! Tons of people we know are moving there.

I feel so bad that you are experiencing all of this!

Wishing you much strength James!

Agreed on all aspects of your comments.....but I have another suggestion for you..... Let's start telling our immigrant population to now send for their elders!!!

Why not.... we have DEI on our side now.... what could possibly go wrong with our woke, strained health care system?

Actually, I think this insane “code of ethics” has nothing to do with immigrants, legal or illegal but has everything to do with the woke, fantasy-laden, drug addled imaginings of the people who have been allowed to take power in this country. None of this assinity will go away until we oust them in a very definitive manner.

I would definitely agree with you. The fact that the Government has allowed and brought too many immigrants in too short a time to assimilate them into our infrastructure is not their fault. Put yourself in their shoes. Why would you not want to immigrate to Canada if given a chance? Especially some of the shit hole countries and abhorent conditions they left. I do strongly believe that it lies squarely on the woke idiots of Canada.

Lol. We have a GP. But we need to drive for 3 and 1/2 hours to see her, pay for a hotel, and wait. She told us two years ago that Canada's health care was broken. Three years ago both my wife and I were able to claim a medical exemption on Trudeaus CRA income tax. Then 3 years ago it was cancelled. Of course the GP was allowed to re apply for us but she said "Don't bother". The doc had tried to apply for an 80+ woman who needed a walker but was denied. The good news is that if retirees don't want to suffer any more we can get on the MAID list. I hate the LPC.

Canada signed on to the WHO IHR, International Health Regulations, so I think that’s where all this garbage came from. Our nurses should NOT comply with something THEY don’t believe in. This is ideology and stupid ideology, at that. This is Carney incarnate. Canada must not comply with what will be dictated by an unelected, foreign group of Globalist twits.

It wont be long now, Canada will write racism into law and I mean, racism will be accepted! Our govt continues to divide us, and the stupid people in this country are going along with it! Indoctrination and brainwashing has been practiced for millennia, where the weak minded subjects easily believe their lies. We are not colonist, invaders or uninvited guests. Our forefathers were invited onto the eastern shores hundreds of years ago, we seen opportunity and capitalized on it. Canada is not and has never been a genocidal state. All the recent propaganda towards the Indians and all the other special interest groups is a plan put into motion by globalist's. And the scary picture is this, these globalist's are winning and we will lose our democracy with a standing ovation...Stupid, stupid apathetic, compliant and brainwashed Canadians.

That’s why they were SO freaked out by the Trucker Protest. They saw a sea of Canadians pulling together to END a Government mandate. They saw Nationalism displayed and had worked years towards being the first post Nationalist country. They HATED that and are making an example of the two leaders of that convoy.

God created this world because He loves us. People need to learn from history and derive hope. For instance, a tour guide with a PhD in Communism told us in Bucharest, Romania, that communist Romania worked OK, until their new leader Nicolae Ceaucescu visited Moscow and North Korea. There he learned to put his own needs well ahead of the needs of the common people. He decided to pay off debt to foreign countries by exporting almost everything and leaving ordinary Romanians in the poor house.

But he and his wife Elena paid a price. On December 25, 1989, they were found guilty of various crimes, such as hoarding private property. They were sentenced to death, and executed by a firing squad the same day.

So remember God and be hopeful.

Government brought all the white Europeans to Canada in order to populate and make land claims. Government endorsed all the medical practices we see today and which has waned many lives of all ethnic origin. Now they are going against their own policies in order to push the woke agenda as a way to further collapse a system that’s already been in trouble for decades? A system where hospitals have become a revolving door for alcoholics, drug abusers and the homeless. And we wonder why there’s no beds? Sounds about right. Destruction is their game.

To your point, less than a year ago my seventy-five year old wife had a nasty fall in the home. I called for an ambulance. My wife in a great deal of pain had to be stretchered out. Victoria General had no place but the hallway where she stayed for fourteen hours. X Rays the next day showed a shattered right hip.

She received hip replacement surgery, into a room afterwards until the next day when she was wheeled back to the hallway.

I complained to the nurses station on her floor. The Nurse was sympathetic but said there were no spare rooms. The ones that used to be were filled with drug related/psychological patients.

This will likely become an even worse situation finding people who would or have chosen the medical field as a profession. People practising in medical care should never be expected to forego all their professional learning to become promoters of the Foolish LIBERAL agenda which has already created a shortage of people in the medical profession. All people on the planet have similar medical needs and advice, their political or racial origins will not change what is medically correct or useful in the administration of correct practises medically.

When you lose merit-based systems in schooling and life, and we have given way to the straight lunacy of woke, DEI-based reasoning and practices, we are truly FUCKED as a country. The decay is well underway, and I am afraid it's too late to reverse course.

I agree with almost everything you have stated, except for one small detail. I disagree with you that the elbows-up crowd were very low-educated voters. I believe the elbows-up crowd are the upper crust and the elites of society. Mostly postgraduate educated. I say this because when our son got his diploma from UofA he came back into the world a completely changed individual that we, the parents, did not recognize. Thankfully, he has seen the light and has come back to our common-sense way of life.

Unfortunately, we don't have much control about not getting sick, and I'm not sure about having control over not going to a hospital. In my community, if you need medical attention on a weekend, and contact the doctor's office, you are told to go to the Emergency. In many communities, the Emergency Departments are closed on the weekend. If I go to my doctor's office to ask for a procedure I am quite often told "Oh, we don't do that anymore." So I am getting the point that they don't do preventative medicine anymore.
