Y'think respect is earned via twitter?, since feeland made her pitch and the saudis responded harshly I've heard of no counter measure tweets, guess she has meekly bowed to their will.

$12k is a pretty large tab for a crappy service.
Calling ontarios' health care shambles a system is way too optimistic, wynne&co. are history thankfully as they believed more administrator$ to schedule meetings and study groups would improve patient care.
Just getting to the ER is challenging then comes the real patience test for patients as they fill waiting rooms wondering if and when a doc will show up, families searching for a family doc face the same issue.

no country can possibly have universal health care.

America just decided that.

It's "propped up" by our taxes as are every other public health care system on the planet. We do that instead of paying premiums to Aetna (I recall that a portion of my Quebec provincial income tax read like a health care premiium invoice ... good idea, so that you know what you are paying).



That'll be thousands of automotive jobs lost in London Ontario on the eve of another Trump freak-out where he slaps tarifs on "Canadian" automobiles (whatever those are).

The Liberals aren't that self-destructive. The Saudis will get their weapons.

Your employer doesn't offer you any health benefits? No Great West or Blue Cross et al because our free healthcare has been offloaded to businesses?

If employers are paying where are the taxes going?

Not until it it is classified as an essential service, same with banking, take profit out of the equation and things run a lot smoother.

Thake profit out of the equation and it runs for a hell of a lot less.

YES. It is the norm for countries in the West to get doctors as immigrants. I can compare if I want.

You can compare all you want. As you can see you were treated far more differently. Trudeau was rocked by the Prince.



Yes it is. 3 Canadian cities made it into the top 20 cities in the world to live in.

An internet list.

*snicker*

I pretty much read and think for myself. I love it when I see taxi drivers (with accents) listening to the cbc. The social capital that makes Canada what it is, is shared by things like that.

Taxi drivers with accents. Something to brag about?

Geez.

dumb **** alert

Commie Alert!

Trudeau needs to apologize for his arrogance. Your dignity has been lost. He should have thought of that before he opened his Islamophobic mouth.

Imagine someone from Trumpland, the international laughingstock and mocking boy of the planet, accusing someone else of having lost dignity.

And Justin Trudeau is not buying into the Saudis corrupting the world mentality. At the very least his government now knows the Saudis intend to fight for the right to keep their human rights abysmal. That they engage in trade to have leverage. Now Trudeau can decide what to do. Because it is about selling our soul or not.

Looks like the Trudeau fans are having trouble facing their hypocrisy.

Trudeau is the laughingstock of the world.

Is Canada a ‘whipping boy’ for Saudi Arabia? Why the kingdom picked a fight over a tweet

http://globalnews.ca/news/4373961/canada-saudi-arabia-tensions/

“Canada’s a fairly easy whipping boy, much more so than France, the U.K. or U.S., which have in the past also made some comments on human rights.” ~ David Chatterson, who was named Canadian ambassador to Saudi Arabia


Isn't that what I said? Yes it is and a former Canadian ambassador agrees with me.
