Canada has a functioning government. Sign me up!
Just to add, for anyone curious: Canadian healthcare is provincial, not federal, so your mileage may vary depending on which province you live in.
One of the "Canadian officials" recently quoted in American news for threatening to withhold electricity is Doug Ford, the Conservative Premier (i.e. the "Senator") of Ontario. While many Canadians have supported his response to Trump's tariffs, he's been dismantling Ontario's public healthcare by withholding public funding, so he can set up a two-tiered private/public system. He's also had a fair number of scandals. And was just comfortably re-elected :^)
Oh gosh, glad to hear things are somewhat better over there, healthcare-wise. I hope your recovery went/is going well!
While I have love for Ford, he's more akin to Governor than Senator.
Whoops! That's the word I was looking for :^) thanks
