Canada’s Healthcare System (Revisited)

Yay!

I’m finally out of that hell-hole they call a hospital. I had been stuck in there waiting for surgery since last wednesday, and I was getting a little tired of having a needle stuck into one of my veins for an eternity.

Because of the multitude of injuries sustained by very prudent Canadian citizens whilst skating on hard ice in -30 degree celcius weather, without any proper protection may I say, the hospitals were full of whining “adults” complaining about how much their muscles hurt, and how much their ears hurt from being outside in very cold weather for extended periods of time. There are also those people who have legitimate injuries, however stupid they may be. Like a broken knee for example. Now there are a few simple solutions to getting rid of these problems;
1. Kill all of these people,
2. Warn them that maybe they should dress for the weather,
3. Extradite them, or,
4. Make them sit in a hospital for six days at a time for a half hour procedure.

The Thought Police…Everybody Run!

David John Cadwell Irving was imprisoned on the 20th of February in Austria for 3 years following his return to the country after he was exiled from Austria for denying the holocaust’s existance. He was an out-spoken denier of the events for many years since his early publications in the late 60’s such as ‘Apocalypse 1945.’ It is also claimed by other respected holocaust historians that he is an active anti-Semite and a racist. So what do our readers think? Was this imprisonment justified? Whilst denying the holocaust’s existance may be an absurd thing to do both factually and for the insult to it’s victim’s relatives, is it right to imprison somebody simply for what they believe?

Canada’s Healthcare System – Experienced first hand

There I was sitting in a stupid little wheelchair.

It was 0130 on Saturday morning, and I had just torn a ligament, cartilage, and many other things in my knee.

I had been in the Ottawa General Hospital’s emergency room since 2030 the previous evening. Although a seemingly minor injury, it was the most painful thing in my life. My knee had literally cracked under me, the cap and moved one way, and then had (thankfully) returned to position. Of course accompanied by a ridiculously large amount of pain. I had just started my second weekend of Basic Military Qualifications for the Canadian Army when this had all happened. After a large deal of ridicule from my master corporal, I was finally brought to the hospital.

State of the Union Follow Up

It would seem Mr Bush’s words are already having an impact across the world. In response to Bush’s “Freedom Corps” – basically volunteers who pledge their assistance to the USA in times of crisis (because normally in a time of crisis, everyone juts sits around hugging their guns – cough, New Orleans) – the Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez, has announced that Venezuela needs more guns (the 100,000 Kalashnikov assault rifles already on order from Russia are, it would seem, not enough) to defend itself from invasion. Freedom Corp? Try “one million well-equipped and well-armed men and women” ready to “defend our fatherland” against the man Hugo Chavez described thus – “I think Hitler would be like a suckling baby next to George W Bush”. This – and the 12 military planes Spain recently said it would still sell to the country, despite American protests – can only make getting at Chavez’s much-valued oil that little bit harder.One more reasons for the US to try and find an alternative. Nice move for the safety of the planet, President Chavez

State Of the Union

On the evening of January 31st, George W. Bush delivered his annual state of the Union Address – basically, his report to the US on what has happened in the US over the last year, because Congress and the rest of the US’s population is far too busy doing other things to err, see what’s been going on in their own country. In reality, the State of the Union is the President putting his own spin on event past and setting out what he wants doing in the future.

News: Attack of the androgynous Arabic activists

With all the furor over the Governmental policies aimed at mandating ID cards at public expense there was not too much mild surprise when another part of the plan was revealed to the public. Pre-op crossgender persons may be required to purchase an additional card for their alternative (post-op) gender, The Register reports.

Whilst mildly humourous in and of itself, The Register poses the question of whether this could potentially render the British Public ™ vulnerable to a new invasion of Al-qaeda operatives using the confusing situation to their advantage. Obviously the combination of multiple ID cards with the potential confusion as to whether to kick them between the legs or not may just give the operative the needed confusion to escape the scene of the attack and the time to flee back to their country of origin.
