Canadian health care story:
Last week I went to get checked for a hernia. Yesterday I had an ultrasound. Today my dr phoned me and will refer me to a specialist.
He also said he read my file and I am overdue for a colonoscopy so he is going to refer that too.

All paid for with taxes.

No wonder tourism keeps plunging in the U.S. Customs drive visitors away while small businesses that depend on tourism beg for their return. #cdnpoli That being said, stop visiting this increasingly violent place.

It's one after another! This literally makes it seem like he has actually done it.
