I'm not sure if I support it...we pay for it thru our taxes, I can't remember the last time I went to a hospital for myself, I don't go to a doctor very often maybe once a year at the most...I'm not using it nearly as much as I pay into it.
How naive can someone be?

Seriously. 2 questions.

1)Are you invulnerable? Do you think your time will never come? Total naivete.
2)Even if you haven't used it, it's ok with you if your loved ones have to pay out of pocket for cancer treatment, stroke, some long term rehab? Total selfishness.

Ever hear of Private Healthcare?

I compare it to car/property insurance…I’ve paid that for 50 years and have gotten very little back from it…I could pay Health insurance the way I pay car insurance.

Intelligent enough for MAGA, maybe. LOL

Remember. "trump loves the poorly educated." His words.
"We won with young. We won with old. We won with highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated."...The exact quote...Use the entire quote for context.

That might work well for you but we have to think of the greater whole. A nation needs to take of it's citizens.

I've talked to a number of people about this lately and have proposed the idea of imposing an additional 1% GST on top of what we pay already. The stipulation is that it would go directly into healthcare. Not one person has disagreed with this notion.

Getting back to the thread...I believe in retrospect Wayne should have walked out with a Canadian jersey on. He didn't read the room on this one.

Yes, Wayne walking out with a Canadian jersey on would have been a good idea…but calling him a traitor is unfair.

Giving the thumbs up to someone on the US bench, I mean, he knows a lot of people, that was taken the wrong way.

Haha, I used something similar somewhere else. Gretzky spent is hockey career cowering behind McSorely and Semenko, now he's cowering behind Trump.

But he's off the hook. I am almost certain Team Canada will never again ask him to be honorary captain or to be involved with Team Canada in any way.
That’s loaded with stupid remarks…

No context required. He loves unintelligent people because they are more easily motivated.
But he won with the highly educated as well, or so he claims..Were they easily motivated as well?

Wayne should hire a PR consultant at this point, lol.
