Sounds very cool but I don't have enough knowledge to know if it's just smoke and mirrors and nonsense

Unlike how corporations behave

[-] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 3 points 4 weeks ago

But why involve them at all? Why assume they are even acting in good faith?

[-] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 4 points 4 weeks ago

At least we arrived at the correct outcome

[-] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 4 points 4 weeks ago

Unlike trustworthy corporations

You're just giving them free tax credits

Sure is. Love Alberta, got me out of student debt, met tons of great people, seriously tons. But Alberta is proudly and deliberately dumb as fuck. It's like Alberta prides itself on doing every idiot thing the Americans do

Awesome, in terms of self reliance, we should be all over this

This would have been a completely out of touch thing to say 10 years ago.

To be saying it today is a choice. It's willing and malicious. She's just provoking people deliberately because the response is what she's after.

Ignore her

Kinda did. Keith is ostensibly labour, but this governments behaviour has been SHOCKING since taking office and they seemingly are happy to just charge to the right even though they won a historic majority and the tories have almost no political capital right now.

Yeah not just the UK.

I have to say as an outsider coming in, I can only compare the NHS to the Canadian system. They are very similar from the user interaction perspective, I'm aware under the hood the way things are run is a lot different.

Both my kids were born on the NHS and my experience with it was largely positive. None of that is to say it's perfect or I don't see the clear direction from the Tories (and labour honestly, FFS) to defund, break, and sell off the NHS.

Just remember it's easy to complain.

The Canadian system imo is in perhaps a worse state with better funding and better labour availability. Our system is not anywhere near as modernized and we'll run as the NHS from a digital systems side and even just like hospital and clinic admin (again this is all just personal anecdotes from one guy who's lived a lot of time in both systems, please take all of this with a deer bait sized salt lick)
