Great news for health care!
The Victoria General Hospital is reopening a whole ward that had been shut down. They’re even contemplating dusting off an extra emergency department. No more waiting lists in that B.C. city!
Just joking.
The VGH is indeed doing all of that, but it’s not for mere Canadians.
It’s for a ship of 490 Tamils from Sri Lanka who decided they’d like to move to Canada, but don’t want to bother asking us first, or waiting in line like everyone else.
Reports from the ship say there was an outbreak of tuberculosis.
It’s a safe bet the B.C. department of health didn’t set aside millions of dollars in their budget for that Third World disease.
No problem — just take it away from MRIs or cataract surgeries. No one will notice, and if they do, let’s just call them racist.
Question: If a Canadian waiting for surgery were to get on that boat, could he jump to the front of the health-care line, too? Or is that privilege only for non-citizens, non-taxpayers?
The ship, the MV Sun Sea, was not originally destined for Canada. We’re an awfully long journey from Sri Lanka, an island country just off the tip of India.
No, they were en route to Australia, but changed course when their captain decided Australia’s navy would intercept the ship and turn it away. Canada, internationally known as a soft touch with generous welfare and free health care, was the obvious alternative.

Take one of your C=17’s..load them all aboard and fly them back to Asia. Or better still...put them on an Airlanka flight at no cost.
Just re-inforces what I’ve said for years.
Want free welfare, healthcare, subsidized housing, and refugee payouts. Come to Canada. You can even collect a pension. You will be treated far better than canadians who work and contribute. Canadians of convenience are welcome in canada, especially mohammad mcgutintys ontario. Mcguinty even gives subsidies to canadian families who earn 34k or less a year. HE knows they can’t pay the HST and high heating costs so he gives them money from the pocketbooks of canadians of contribution. IF you contribute in canada expect to give it up to canadians of convenience. I hate what the country of canada has become. Time for a big big change.
