Canada Ping!

He does overlook the little angle that CGI is a Canadian company that welcomed ValJar’s daughter and son-in-law as employees. I wonder, if our media somehow fails to explore that cozy bit of cronyism, does that mean theirs has to as well?

Ive done what I could to ensure The Great Leaders....continung down the path he's...currently treading...by introducing him to my old pal JACK...

[Hardraade]

The Romanians could tell you what to do with an Obama government.

If Obama goes down as a failure, someone who peddled Hope and got in over his head, will our millennials think twice about casting a feel-good vote for an unknown quantity who fast-forwarded past the usual leadership training?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Millenials had better reject Justin Trudeau, Canada is just barely recovering economically after the Trudeau years of Pierre, and the subsequent generation of liberal machinations which ruined Canada economically.

The impact of ObamaCare will be fatal to Canada’s health care system.

The United States health care system subsidizes the costs of the Canadian system because AMerica provides a high compensation system for drugs , medical supplies and care which allows Canada to mandate very low price structures for their system below cost of the US market.

Once the lucrative American market is driven into the ground by ObamaCare, the Canadians will have to pay a much higher price for their medical system because the US system will not even be able support itself, much less subsidize Canada’s health care system

"He compensated for his shortcomings in political dues-paying by building a team of high-profile brainiacs...."

Fitting label. Brainiac was one of Superman's supervillains.



Brainiac imposes Obamacare on the citizens of the bottled city of Kandor.

[Future Snake Eater]

In some continuities, Brainiac was even more or less directly responsible for Krypton’s destruction.

Another OUCH!

I've done a fair amount of research on Canada's health care system,much of it on the official Provincial website of British Columbia (I think their system is managed by provinces).Among the many disturbing things I learned on that site is that there's at least one type of heart surgery...HEART SURGERY...for which Canadians can wait *six* months.Since the inception of Canada's current system,doctors and hospitals in the US have acted as a safety valve for Canadians unable,or unwilling,to wait weeks or months for vital tests and treatment.As a matter of fact there was a big story there a few years ago when one of their Provincial Premiers went not to Montreal,Toronto or Vancouver for his heart surgery but to the US.

When OsamaObamaCare kicks in and *we* start waiting six months for heart surgery Canadians should understand that US hospitals will be essentially closed off to them,thus making their system even *worse* than it is today.

Did 0bamaCare kill off that nice looking young woman who used to live there?

[wildbill]

Maybe Americans will start going to Canada for medical care?

[2ndDivisionVet]

If I had the resources I’d start a medical tourism travel agency. That’s going to be HUGE!

I've noticed a new twist in some of my liberal friends on social media sites. If a story is not published in an ultra-liberal newspaper (AKA NYTimes or similar) then it is labeled as “propaganda against the President!” They are starting to lump everything in with Fox News as the “problem.”

ObamaCare is likely to shake Democrat/liberals faith to their very core.

My brother and his wife--who are generally very liberal--refused to talk about Obamacare during Thanksgiving dinner. Given the horrible rollout of HealthCare.gov and many millions of Americans losing their current healthcare coverage, no wonder why they won't talk.

[Snowyman]

Oh, come on now. Williams went to Florida to have his surgery , not because of any lacking facility or expertise in Canada , rather his condo happened to be 6 blocks from Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami. Where would you like to recover from having surgery in February., Florida or Newfoundland ?

I hope all LIBs/DIMs choke on their Clown Prince nobama sh** sandwich. Choke, you smug LIB/DIM clowns.

ObamaCare is likely to shake Democrat/liberals faith to their very core.

They just discovered they have a thick case of the intellectual CRABS.

Quite embarrassing, and requiring immediate action, but what? Change their whole world-view or just slump into political apathy? Whatever shall they do?
