Every time I hear some Canadian say they support private health care, I remind them they can't afford veterinary bills, that cost a fraction of what they'd pay for human surgeries and treatments.
Usually these same people claim they can't afford food and housing.

Like Trump, Carney is gutting foreign aid, but somehow thinks he can go to foreign places and ask for things.
He is also promising Alberta's Trump pipelines without the consent of the provinces they are to be rammed through.

In Mad Men days when people "dressed up" to go to the corner store, airlines were roomy, served hot meals and snacks, catered to your comfort. Capitalism and deregulation has turned airlines into sardine cans. Even first class isn't what it used to be.
