OK, my data is from 2004, so yours dropped, ours likely went up.

Damn Freakin Tario.

In our golden years wifey and I are being looked after best as Tario can't afford.

Week ago yesterday we spent the whole day in an ER when kidney failure was again suspected. Thankfully, after a bunch of expensisve
tests, it wasn't the culprit. We still have the house, so I guess our OHIP is UTD.

Service and care always have been second to none.

Similar experience for myself. In at 2:30 noted empty waiting room, processed, assessed, labs, sent for a CT, PE found, a hot meal and out the door with a handful of heparin shots at 10 minutes to 7.

No complaints by me

Google man say:

"The federal government provides funding through cash and tax transfers to the provinces and territories to help pay for health care services, but the actual delivery of services is a provincial/territorial responsibility."

Das what.:canada:

So they need to provide enough resources so those services can be delivered.

yeah but lots would be whining about how long it took

last time I went in it took four hours and I was freezing because they keep the temp so low, it was summer so I had no coat...they even gave me a hot blanket to wrap myself in and checked on me twice

I think we're damned lucky to live in a place like Canada

That is why SK is building new and replacing older hospitals all while hiring more staff unlike ON that is laying off staff.

Fix your Province.

Fix your Province.

It's easy to use those funds for new infrastructure when your province has 5 people living in it.

Really?
Rick Rogers, the mayor of Craik, said he is worried about the centralization of medical services in the town of Davidson, Sask., which is located about 30 kilometres away.

Is he reaching you one burnout to another?

Guess what? He IS high!

Maybe Craik should go back to holding raves in the middle of a hemp field and fund themselves instead of funding a ecofriendly hippie f-cking colony?

Eco-Village

The Craik Eco-Village was conceived as a joint venture between the Town of Craik and R.M. of Craik No. 222. The two parties worked closely together to make the Eco-village a reality. The land just north east of Craik was donated by the R.M. and lots are available for a small fee. Roads were built, trees were planted and a community has grown in an ecologically friendly design.

Nuggler never knew of E&H taxes aka PST.


Canada Health Act

Knock yourself out kid.

Don''t be a sh!thead Petros.. I didn't know what E&H meant. Got it now.

You under a lot of stress lately. ? Not your usual jovial self.

Too bad. A lot of intelligence being flushed with your name calling, and condescending attitude.

You're losing a lot of the respect you had here.

just sayin.
