Just to expand on this topic, I searched for the top 10 countries that have the most MRIs per capita. Canada doesn’t make the top 10.
That said, we have $20 billion to give to the Ukraine, hundreds of millions to Gaza. Our annual foreign aid is in the billions. So let’s take care of the rest of the world, who the hell cares about the health of Canadians. Let’s tax Canadian’s and use their money for other people. This applies to all our political parties, except one the PPP.
