   Just a point on this, as someone who has been living in Canada for a long time: Successive conservative governments have been systematically defunding and impeding the healthcare system for decades, especially at the provincial level. The consensus is that they want to make it bad so that they can justify privatizing it. https://www.reddit.com/r/ontario/comments/1f53o0l/anyone_else_think_we_need_a_broadbased/

   In Quebec, where the conservatives have had few chances for governing, the system tends to be a bit more efficient. There are serious problems with the healthcare system across the country, but its complicated. I think this is true of pretty much every country, except for those ultra wealthy small states like Singapore or Luxemburg, but those places arent exactly the most useful model for large countries like Canada or the US.

     Thanks, I though I’d heard something like this.

     Often seems to be capitalist greedy interests puppeting the politicians to try and destroy public commons for profit, trying to defund services do much to point and say the thing is useless and private sector can do it better, repeated obvious crap.

     Looks like you posted promptly, so it is a disservice to the audience that I’m listening to this days later, and it has not been updated to not be very misleading with only half the story, on a country so large, with very regional situations.

     (At least I can directly ask my Canadian friend network about BC and Alberta areas, so getting not so dystopian, and less capitalist f-ed up reality in some of those area cities).
