    Like going to a post office.

    You walk in, show your health ID, get treated, then leave.

    Edit: Assuming you’re going to a hospital. Family doctor care is similar, although in my province they’re contractors, and it can be hard to find one with an opening for new patients right now.

    Oh, I just noticed it wait time was requested. It varies for family doctors; the local one that sucks can pretty much always get you in immediately. I’m with one that needs a couple days notice now, haha.

    If you get referred to a specialist it’s a long wait, like many months, and when you do go it’s a human production line coordinated down to the second.

      I know for a fact you haven’t been using the health care system in any province if you’re spreading this bullshit.

        I was literally in the ER on Tuesday.

        You must be in one of the provinces that are on the privatisation slippery slope. Alberta isn’t really yet.

                Well maybe stereotypes exist for a reason, quitting being one is a quicker way to cut down bigotry than stopping people from noticing things,

                (About Jews)

                You should see what happens when you try force the people of an natural individualistic bend into community organization. Undermining, diversion and later, violence.

                “lack of investigation” is fairly normal when the person is dead. Anyways, it’s really, really, really obvious the Secret Service decided to let the kid take his shot before they killed him.

                l’ll just let that speak for itself.

                  It was in context about a sect of Jews literally being the stereotype, genius. I know context is hard, but then, you’re so stunned you think the secret service didn’t. There was video, ffs.
