rationed, socialized medicine (or any good or service) is peachy, until you need a bunch of it in a hurry. i worked in toronto for 2 1/2 years. thankfully i had u.s. medical insurance and could go to the u.s. for any serious medical care.

my beloved maternal grandparents were humble, hardy, decent, true north, canadian scots. they would be aghast at what canada has become.
