Are you an American? Do you live in the USA? Because you seem to be very concerned about US medical problems, are you as concerned with Mexican healthcare system issues? European? What about your own country, assuming you’re Canadian?

Administrators vs clinical staff in Canada has risen to almost criminal levels. Our hospitals and healthcare system are being completely mismanaged.


London Ont. hospital trims administration by 14% in a bid to undo financial damage caused over recent years.
My question is, our hospitals are publicly funded and should be properly run. Why is this mismanagement allowed? What's happening at other hospitals that we don't hear about?

11 times as many public health bureaucrats as Germany on a per capita basis. 14 Ministries of Health in Canada. 64 VIce Presidents in BC’s health authorities. No wonder there is a lack of funding for patient care. Administration should be cut by 90%, not just 14%.

You should be concerned with our country and the state of our medical system. Your rebuttal is the equivalent of other GM’s make terrible moves so it’s ok if ours does.

100%!!

I see it at Fraser Health. Administration is out of control. Take a look at this article:

https://www.fraserinstitute.org/article/government-sector-job-growth-dwarfs-private-sector-job-growth-across-canada#:~:text=Let's%20start%20by%20looking%20at,including%20the%20self%2Demployed).

So, the government sector accounted for more than 90 per cent of the job growth in B.C. last year. That's an increase of 22.6% over the previous year. Yet, at the same time, the BC NDP last year spent $220 million on management consulting firms. That's up 200% from 2016.

Outrageous, uncontrolled government spending that distorts the assessment of our province's economic situation.

That is the reality of a Socialist government. Eventually, every job is a government job. It's unsustainable. We desperately need smaller government.

“The daily world-wide consumption of oil surpassed 100,000,000 barrels per day last year.

That's not a typo. It's not per week, or per month, it's per day!!

Every day citizens of the world consume 100,000,000 barrels of oil. That 100 million daily!!

Consumption has been on the rise since the 1970s, with only a few brief pauses (2008 economic crisis, 2019 COVID pandemic), and shows no signs of slowing down.”

Can't wait for the Presidential debate on Tuesday. Harris will have her ass handed to her by Trump.

Watching Andrés Manuel López Obrador's daily press conference on the state of Mexico's economy and infrastructure progress.

He touched on the profits of all the major grocery supply chains in Mexico. This man truly cares for his people and is transparent on what he's doing.

If anything American Politics is like an SNL skit now so should be super entertaining. The media will try to spin as much as they can against Trump and try to make that idiot Harris look smart but she's clearly a bigger retard than Biden...scary times man.

The reality is if Trump ends up getting in, the USA will turn into the wild west.

Much like what Texas & Alberta is right now.

I learned this a long time ago in the Dressing room. When 2 Defencemen engage each other in conversation, no matter the subject material, don't expect anything intelligent out of it.

No, but a lot of things that happen in the US affect us here in Canada. I want conservative leadership in Canada and the US. Not the woke bumholes that are in charge of both countries right now.

On top of that JT is economically destroying our country. I won't even get into how he treated the unvaccinated and trucker protesters.

What we NEED is a centrist government that's in between the Trump/Polliviere and JT/Biden-Harris polar opposites. The left taxes and spends and makes too much bureaucracy and the right cuts all taxes and programs and bureaucracy to the bone. We need the happy medium again.

That horseshit about Haitian immigrants eating dogs and cats was just nuts. And then the stuff about killing babies after berth... how can anyone take that clown seriously?

How about Jan. 6 comment, "Nobody on the other side was hurt."
That debate was surreal.
