587 days.
That's how long the Canadian healthcare system took to call me back about the spinal surgery I needed immediately or risk losing the use of my legs.
In 2024, I broke my back in Singapore. The neurosurgeon there said surgery was urgent. After 3 weeks fighting my insurance from a hospital bed, I flew home with medical support.
The Canadian hospital quoted an 8-month wait.
I'm lucky I could afford to go private. The next day, I had the operation.
Today, 587 DAYS LATER, the public hospital called to say they're ready for me.
People say Canadian healthcare is free and great. It's neither.
It's horrible!
60 assists in 60 games for Quinn Hughes. The last defenseman with at least 60 in 60 games was Paul Coffey in 1992-93
39 assists in 34 games with the #mnwild
@RDS83 No one is taking that contract unfortunately unless it’s basically given away and even then idk if someone takes him! It’s unfortunate on all fronts!
Best game from the Canucks in over a month?
Lots of moments where players actually had an impact on the game. Entertained the fans, kept it close until the very end. Rossi looked great, EP40 showed a glimmer of swagger.
10/10 tank game.
Wow. Surprisingly good statement from Prime Minister @MarkJCarney.
“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.”
I say surprisingly because it’s a real departure from the usual moral equivalence tropes typical of the past decade in Canadian foreign policy.
Full credit where it’s due.
