@bhatia_nachiket @Truth4310 Right. Absolutely stupid analogy.

[Politics With Sangam @sangamkumar22]

This is the same woman who questioned Yogi.

Just two hours after asking her question, she was reportedly fired from her job. Then, some BJP leaders allegedly threatened her, saying a bulldozer would be sent to her home.

And now, BJP supporters are abusing her and attacking her character simply because she dared to question the government.

Think about it: her only “mistake” was asking a question to an elected Chief Minister — in a country that claims to be the world’s largest democracy.

It is genuinely heartbreaking to see how far we have come. There was a time when even the Prime Minister regularly faced the press and answered tough questions. Today, simply asking a question can make you a target.

Shame.

Universal healthcare is one of Canada’s greatest achievements. 🇨🇦
Your bank account should NEVER determine whether you get timely medical care, or whether you get care at all.
Healthcare should be based on need, not wealth.
Defend it, fund it, improve it and never sell it off! 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Thanks Premier Kenney. I am impressed by your unwavering patriotism and collaboration with Premier Notley. Allow me to correct you on some much-debunked fallacies. 👇👇👇

1) You can't queue jump to see me if you're wealthy. That's essentially what Alberta Conservatives have enacted. If you're homeless, intoxicated and with unstable vital signs I attend to you before a housed patient, with stable vitals and abdominal pain. That's the Canadian way. We put acuity and medical need over ability to pay. That's what we consider fair. That's what most Canadians want. That's the opposite direction of the Smith Conservative government.

Would you tell a farm hand they are less important than an oil executive, Premier Kenney?

2) Profiteering is different than profit. I apologize for nothing that I work and I profit.

Profiteering is taking undue advantage of people in need, and gouging them for additional fees. That's not what I do. You can't bribe me $500 extra in the ER to be seen faster when the waiting room is packed. That would be unprofessional, immoral and stupid. That's what the Smith Conservative government is doing.

3) Queue-jumping solves zero. Doctors are a fixed resource in Canada, as you know Premier. If you pull us doctors out of the public system for people willing to slip in extra money, you reduce the capability of the public system. That's not how I operate but that's what Alberta Conservatives are doing.

You're right that profit (also called a job) is fine. You do it, I do it, anyone with a mortgage or pays rent does it.

The difference is profiteering, queue-jumping and prioritizing those who can essentially bribe the doctors. I would hope you would agree those are fundamentally un-Canadian values.

Let me explain a medical corporation to you. It's legal. It was put in place by your Conservative Premier colleague Mike Harris in 2000.

The government put this in place in lieu of increasing physician compensation. It violates no Canadian or provincial laws. Most doctors in Ontario do it. It defers taxes to when you are earning nothing. I'm not apologizing for it because it's how most Ontario doctors are compensated for their services.

Unlike you Premier Kenney, I'm not getting a federal government generous pension when I grow old.

My savings are all I have for my family and I. A medical corporation doesn't violate in any way the Canada Health Act which is what the Alberta Conservative government is doing.

Let's now shift to Europe which I'm glad you raised. I agree with you, let's be more like Europe. Europe invests far, far more than we do in publicly funded healthcare and related social services. That's why multi-payer systems there is fine. Because they take care of the basics first, better than us. You negate to mention this crucial difference. I'm not against white-glove profiteering healthcare if we take care of the basics first.

I hope this clears this up. There's no hypocrisy. It's one thing to attend to patients based on need, not gouge them at their time of need, not pick favourites based on essentially a bribe, knee-cap the publicly funded system and bill the government for services rendered through a law-abiding corporation.

I'm ashamed of nothing Premier Kenney. Alberta Conservatives, on the other hand, have enacted policies that are frankly disgraceful to the average Albertan who make about $52,000/year after taxes. @jkenney

@mfproudman @ezralevant Where do you come up with these theories? Basis?

[Sam Jose @sjv_in]

@paulg @AnupPandey_X For someone whose priority is paying medical bills rather than buying a tesla - it will be harder to grasp this piece of wisdom.

[Sam Jose @sjv_in]

@nairprem53 @ANI These are enforcement issues. Not something that need policy change.

[Sam Jose @sjv_in]

@Sangeetsavi @bhaumikgowande Thats your excuse? Typical andhbhakth.

[Sam Jose @sjv_in]

@meenakandasamy @manujosephsan Looks like that policy changed.

Anthropologist Margaret Mead was once asked by a student what she believed was the very first sign of known civilization. The student expected her to talk about a hatchet, perhaps fishhooks, the bow and arrow...

Possibly a building structure, clay pots or grinding stones and knives.

But no.

Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a thighbone that had been broken and then healed.

Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, your timely death is assured.

"You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal."

A broken thighbone that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery.

"Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts." Mead said.

We are at our very best when we truly help and serve others.

Be civilized. Be kind. Be helpful

The biggest BJP propaganda on social media is: “If not BJP, then who?”
Do you really think a country of 1.5 billion should be run by a teleprompter PM, an incompetent Petroleum Minister, a tax terrorist FM, and an Education Minister known for repeated paper leaks?

@chinmay Cant make a trust in US to buy shares on behalf of employees and let the trust sell the number if shares when an employee wants to sell? Pay the tax. Pay as salary then. May be spread over a long time?
