Hey AB, get your vaccines... our HC system is already struggling.
The waits in our EDs are astronomical, and only going to get worse. Do your part to protect yourself, your loved ones, and our overburdened HC system.
I got Influenza + Covid vaccines same day...
Mark Carney June 25, 2026 -
“Canada is now creating jobs at twice the rate of the United States.”
July 10th 2026 During his Saudi Arabia visit: “We’re growing jobs at twice the rate of the United States.”
August 6, 2026 — Speaking in Saguenay, Quebec, “We’re creating jobs at twice the rate of the United States”
August 23, 2026, he said Canada was “creating jobs in this economy at FOUR times the rate of the United States.”
The harsh reality is the U.S. over the last two months gained 975,000 jobs and Canada lost 110,000
How long do Canadians put up with Carney’s endless gaslighting & lies?
You can't get scanned on a machine that doesn't exist.
Canada has 10.6 MRI machines per million people.
That ranks 27th of 31 countries with universal health care, per the Fraser Institute.
The wait for an MRI hit 16.2 weeks.
More than three weeks longer than the year before.
Germany has 32.5 machines per million.
JUST IN: 🇨🇦 Canada loses 68,000 jobs in September as trade war with the US continues.
This is the second consecutive month of job losses, with Canada losing a total of 110,000 jobs over the past two months.
Canada's unemployment rate also jumped to 6.5%.
The ongoing trade war with the US is adding more pressure on the Canadian economy as the job market continues to weaken.
If the Irkutsk researcher died of plague, she was presumably unvaccinated and did not receive antibiotics per protocol. Alternatively, the strain was vaccine-evading and antibiotic-resistant. That seldom occurs naturally. Pneumonic plague is only moderately transmissible.

BREAKING: President Trump says higher US inflation will "pay off" US debt "very rapidly" in response to total US debt rising above $40 trillion.
"I know I'm the best in the world... you can pay off the debt through other means. But the one thing that you can do is pay it off through growth, and we've never had growth like this," Trump said.
US Treasury yields hit a new high of the day after the statement.
BREAKING: In a shocking development Canada announces it will build a coalition of countries who share their values to build their economy and trade opportunities and will exclude the United States.
“If the U.S. no longer wants to lead, Canada will.”
Higher prices.
Fiscal & FIC dominance.
Asset-price inflation.
Sacrifice the dollar’s reserve-currency status to keep the debt system functioning.
K-shaped economy to infinity.
Those who own the right assets get wealthier.
Those who don’t get pushed deeper into debt just trying to maintain their standard of living.
There was never another politically viable plan for a system carrying this much debt.
Debase the denominator.
Inflate the assets.
Manage the consequences.
Pretend you’re doing something else.
Plan accordingly.
🦔The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association says insurers paid out nearly $1 billion more than usual from AI-assisted hospital documentation in 2024-2025. Hospitals use AI to scan records and find secondary diagnoses that human reviewers missed. More diagnoses means higher reimbursements. But treatment levels haven't gone up.
BCBSA's SVP of data science said AI is "identifying more billable conditions, not sicker patients." Insurers now deploy their own AI to deny those same claims. Patients pay for both through higher premiums.
My Take
This might be the most American healthcare story I've ever read. Hospitals bought AI to find more things to bill for. Insurers bought AI to deny those bills. The technology cost money on each end and the tab went straight to patients through higher premiums. A billion dollars moved and no one got any healthier. The only thing that changed was the size of the invoices.
Two sides of a trillion-dollar industry found a new tool to fight over the same pool of money and the person in the hospital bed pays for all of it. Premiums go up, denials go up, and the AI vendors collect from everyone. If you want to know who AI works for, stop reading the press releases and look at where the money goes. In healthcare it went straight into the billing department.

Scary finish in the UFC main event tonight.
