Long overdue remedy for this national embarrassment may be coming.

Apparently they're going to waterproof it with a blue goo and rewire it.

No matter what the decision some people will not be happy and there will be conspiracy theories about it being some evil plan.

Please don't let Parks Canada anywhere near the project. Reno for Province House in PEI estimated in 2015 to take 2-5 years at a cost of $20 million; currently at 11 years and $140 million.

Carney said a strong Canada will help make America great again.

Why shouldn't Canadians travel more to the US and spend their money there to also help make America great again?

Because traveling in Cansda keeps the dollars in Canada, making Canada stronger, which helps America.

The dollar also goes a lot farther here, so unless you need to visit Disney. The Maritimes or BC offer great beaches for a summer vacation.

Oddly enough, 100+ years of deferred maintenance gets really expensive, really quickly. Toss in a pandemic, and a very limited Canadian workforce with any significant amount of masonry skill, and you have some (but not all) of the delays and cost increase.

...imagine a proper restoration of the Citadel in Quebec City. As it's a DND asset (not Parks Canada) we could surpass 5% of GDP on defence

New report on the state of health care, and while more a provincial government issue, the lack of attention to it makes the arguement for federal intervention and strategy. The good news is less patients are treating ERs as a replacement for a family doctor for minor issues. The bad news is we aren't seeing the capacity growth in terms of number of bed spaces and practitioners. The plain truth is we keep throwing money at a system on life support but we are treating the symptoms not the disease so to speak.

What a new report reveals about the true cause of Canada’s massive emergency wait times

A new report suggests the causes of Canada’s long emergency department wait times often lie far beyond the emergency room itself, with shortages in hospital beds, long-term care and community supports creating a bottleneck that is leaving some patients waiting days for care.

Sorry, Winnipeg Health Science Centre

Sorry, Winnipeg Health Science Centre

Hope you are recovered now.

Its been pointed out that Ab for example has less hospital beds now than it did in 1990. Its no wonder how HC system can handle the current population then when out average per capita bed ratio is 2.5, germany for example its over 7

 

[Jarnhamar]

,germany for example its over 7

They needed that after the ass kicking we gave em, yeah?

 

[dapaterson]

They needed that after the ass kicking we gave em, yeah?

The ass kicking will be in the quarter finals, assuming we both get through the rounds of 32 and 16.

 

[GK .Dundas]

Hope you are recovered now.

This was about 3 years ago indirectly related to my cancer . I ended up so badly dehydrated and malnourished that I ended up putting myself in the hospital. Pretty stupid in retrospect.
Spent 6 less then delightful weeks recovering in Concordia Hospital.
