Oh Canadian Teeth!

Canada is known for a lot of things, ranging from hockey and moose to maple syrup and embarrassing dictators running the country. One thing that many uneducated Americans think Canada is good at is health care. I’ve had various Canadian friends throughout the years tell me the health care is terrible, and this past week showed me this hasn’t changed one bit.

I spent this week in Canada teaching a class. The first thing I noticed was the poor dental care. Well over half the people I interacted with had terrible teeth. Like, we’re talking “someone punched you in the mouth” levels of bad here. When I asked some of my students, all of them confirmed that Canada’s dental care is abysmal. Only 55% of Canadians have private dental insurance, and only 4% can get government insurance. Over one third of Canadians haven’t seen a dentist in the last 12 months. And its not just the poor folks either. The people I ran into working at nice hotels and nice restaurants had terrible teeth, folks that likely have at least some money, but can’t afford the care. The government can’t even afford to pay dental hygienists a good salary, despite rolling out plan after plan to do so.

It didn’t end at teeth though. Despite spending nearly a third of all government money on health care, Canada has terrible emergency room wait times. We’re talking 22 hours on average to be placed in a hospital…in Ontario. Not a small place, mind you. One of my students confirmed that most emergency rooms turn you away to stay at home unless something is absolutely life threatening. The regular care is not any better either. One student told me that his wife went in to get a referral for a dermatologist. 8 years later…yes, that is not a typo…they got a phone call for the referral, which they had forgotten about by that point.

8 years for a referral…I never thought someone could make Tricare look bad, but Canada, you take the crown!

Under the Fedora: Who Needs Norms Edition, No Trials, No Attacks, No Choices in Michigan, In London No Jews, and Dostoevsky Democrats

For the first time in history an impeachment sent to the Senate didn’t produce a trail because the Democrats didn’t feel like having one.

It’s amazing how easy it is to ignore the Constitution when you have a party whose primary voter base either doesn’t know or doesn’t care what it actually says.

Sooner or later the tables will be turned and suddenly the press and the dems will decry the fact that we’re playing by their rules

Apparently Iran’s plan on dealing with the Israeli air strikes is to simultaneously pretend they didn’t happen and claim they destroyed everything Israel sent, but apparently the Jewish state made their point.

Such a pretense excuses Iran from an escalation that would lead to disaster as Israel demonstrated both Iran’s lack of effective defense and their lack of allies willing to throw down for them, well except for Maxine Waters who apparently denies Iran even attacked Israel.

I somehow don’t think she’s enough to sustain them.

RFK’s access to the ballot in Michigan leads folks to believe that he gives the “death to the Jews” left an alternate to Biden who they hate and Trump who they hate more.

I disagree, RFK is solidly behind Israel and hasn’t been shy about saying so. If those votes are going anywhere else they’re going to Cornell West.

What I’m really interested in seeing is if the Islamic community is content to let the folk in Lansing steal their votes if the numbers don’t look good.

If you want to note confirmation that England has been conquered by the Islamists this video is all you need to see:

How DARE that Englishman be openly Jewish in the capital of Great Britain!

I’m glad the Few did not live to see England conquered.

Finally Robert Stacy McCain notes that being a fugitive on the lam doesn’t take away the right for your vote to be counted in the Pennsylvania Legislature. If you’re a Democrat that is.

A Pennsylvania Democrat providing a critical vote for his party in the state House is on the lam after allegedly violating a protective order related to abuse, authorities told The Post.
Philadelphia police issued a warrant for state Rep. Kevin Boyle on Tuesday after the 44-year-old Democrat, who has struggled with mental health issues but is still on the ballot for a primary election next week, broke the Protection From Abuse Order, a department spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday afternoon.
Democrats control the Pennsylvania House of Representatives by a razor-thin 102-101 majority, meaning his votes in absentia allow the party to pass legislation for the time being.
“We tried to address this situation this morning by asking that Mr. Boyle be placed on leave,” Republican caucus leader Rep. Bryan Cutler (Lancaster) said. “The Democrats are insisting that not only he’s not on leave, but he is in fact eligible to vote.”
“You’ve got an individual who has an arrest warrant out who is either a fugitive from justice and waiting to be processed, or they are in communication with him about his votes and therefore they are harboring him and should communicate that to law enforcement,” he added.

I guess Dostoevsky’s “If there is no God, everything is permitted” is now: “If you’re a Democrat everything is excused.”
