  • The Canada Health Act Discriminates Against Injured

    Workers By Excluding Them From "Access To Health Services Without Financial Or Other Barriers" By Excluding "Any Health Services That A Person Is Entitled To And Eligible For Under Any Act Of The legislature Of A Province That Relates To Workers' Or Workmen's Compensation" And That This Leaves Injured Workers Vulnerable To Wrongdoing By The Workers Compensation System

  • What a joke, when you can't get a family doctor in Quebec and the waiting lines in hospitals for simple things like blood tests are hours long. As someone struggling with illness, it makes me sick to see the country blindly patting itself on the back for something that isn't working. I believe in the idea, but that is all it is to me, an idea, not a reality.

  • Tommy Douglas was a Canadian hero. Over 65% Americans every year file bankruptcy due to inability to pay medical bills. In Canada, it's Zero 0% percent. And no Canadian is homeless because the kids' operation is unaffordable. And Canada spends 1/4 less of its GNP than U.S.A. Hillary Clinton campaigned on Universal medicare for Americans. But Obama was the 'chosen' one by the Dems as half a milion of insurance lobbyists' dollars went to his campaign.  He's forced everyone to buy "insurance"!

  • Hi CanMusCiv, great video! It is both historic and entertaining. This video would be great for the Canada’s Got Treasures collection, which aims to feature Canadian videos of personal or cultural significance. Help celebrate Canadian diversity by joining our YouTube group (/group/TresorTreasure) and submitting your video. It would be made available on our channel and website.

    Hamish,
