Stew Peters did an episode looking into the deaths of Canadian doctors after the vaccine mandates were rolled out. But here is new info that is even more shocking.Steve Kirsch5 hr agoWatch this episode of Stew Peters which talks about the increased number of young doctors dying in Canada: Basically, you can view Canadian doctor deaths at www.cma.ca/memoriam.This tweet got my attention: But the 2019 numbers are misleading because it reflects only part of 2019. The full number was probably around 170 for the year. So the number of doctor deaths in 2021 seems to be about double normal, but...

Marianne Porter spent some of the final hours of her life hunched over and moaning in pain as she waited to be seen by an emergency room doctor at Moncton Hospital. Porter waited for 11 hours before she was eventually seen. It’s a period of time that Porter’s sister, Donna Bordage, believes contributed to her death only hours later. Bordage says Porter went to the hospital on Saturday morning for what she believed was a hernia. Porter’s vitals were normal, but she was left in the waiting room in severe pain, waiting for hours before she was finally seen. Doctors...

OTTAWA, February 9, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) — Canada has a “moral imperative” to fund palliative care because people have a dignity that “comes from God,” Canada’s top ranking Catholic cardinal told the special joint parliamentary committee on “physician-assisted dying” last week. The dignity of the human person is “inherent” and remains regardless of their circumstances, Cardinal Thomas Collins of the Toronto archdiocese told the committee. “That’s why we don’t believe it’s right to kill them.” This belief in the intrinsic dignity of the human person motivates the Catholic Church’s mission of providing health care, including care for the dying, he said....

Actor and comedian Seth Rogen has called out senators for not sticking around during his testimony in a hearing on Alzheimer’s disease research, saying it sent a poor message on how seriously they view the issue. Mr. Rogen’s mother-in-law suffers from early-onset Alzheimer’s, and he set up an Alzheimer’s disease charity. He was in town to testify in front of a Senate Appropriation subcommittee on the disease and and give an emotional appeal for more funding for research — while also featuring some lighter material. “Yes, I am aware that this has nothing to do with the legalization of marijuana,”...

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Hate insects? Afraid of germs? Researchers are reporting an alarming combination: bedbugs carrying a staph “superbug.” Canadian scientists detected drug-resistant staph bacteria in bedbugs from three hospital patients from a downtrodden Vancouver neighborhood.

Ontario Wait Times Provincial Summary In April 2008, the government announced that reducing wait times in emergency rooms and improving access to family health care are its two most important health care priorities over the next four years. Currently, 126 hospital sites across Ontario are submitting ER information to the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) for reporting on this website. This represents 90 percent of ER visits throughout the province. The amount of time a patient spends in the Emergency Room is referred to as “Total Time Spent in the ER” and is measured from the time patients register...

Danny Williams is the premier of the Canadian province of Newfoundland, a mostly impoverished island of just over half a million people on the eastern edge of North America—still perhaps best-known as the place nearest to where the ship “Titanic” struck an iceberg and sank almost a century ago. The 60-year-old Williams, who as a premier is the rough equivalent of a U.S. governor, found out during a doctor’s appointment a year ago that one of his heart valves was failing to close properly, causing a leakage. Eight months later, in December, his doctors informed him that his problem had...

Earlier this week the left went into full attack mode against Governor Palin after she revealed in a speech that her family had been given medical treatment in Canada when she was a young child. Neglecting all the facts of her story, left-wing blogs, media types, and even congressmen put out a barrage of hit pieces dedicated to painting Governor Palin as some sort of “hypocrite.” The hits were well defended in the Palin blogosphere along with other rationalsites. Even a writer from Esquire felt the need to defend the governor after witnessing the lack of any damning evidence coupled...

<p>Sarah Palin's family used to "hustle" across the Canadian border to get healthcare, the former Alaska Governor said this weekend.</p> <p>In a speech in Calgary, Palin called it "ironic" that while growing up in a small Alaskan town near the Canadian border, her family used to sneak across to take advantage of the Canadian healthcare system.</p>

Health Care: The premier of Newfoundland had heart surgery this month in Florida, bypassing his country's state-run system for American medicine. If Canadian care is so good, shouldn't he have stayed home? 'This is my heart, it's my health, it's my choice," said Danny Williams, who told his province's NTV news that the mitral valve procedure he had at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami "was not offered to me in Canada." The Toronto Globe & Mail reported Tuesday that Canadian cardiologists have "fervently" countered that such surgery "is available in his home country." But Williams, who maintains he has...

Health Care Systems: A return to private health care is rising from the grass roots north of the border. While we rush headlong toward socialized medicine, Canadians are saying, "No, thanks — been there, done that." We recently told the story of Ava Isabella Stinson, born 13 weeks premature at St. Joseph's hospital in Hamilton, Ontario. She weighed all of two pounds and had no time to be put on a waiting list. But there were no open neonatal intensive care beds for her at St. Joseph's or anywhere else in the entire province of Ontario it seems. Canada's perfectly...

Medical Care: A leaked report shows that Vancouver's health authority is considering cutting thousands of surgeries to balance the budget. However organized, government-run health care inevitably leads to rationing.Defenders of ObamaCare continually point out that their plan is not like Canada's, that holding that country's system up as an example of impending medical doom is invalid. Canada's system is different. Instead of having a single national plan, Canada's national health insurance, a kind of public option, is composed of 13 interlocking provincial and territorial plans, all framed under the Canada Health Act. But based on a report leaked to the...

Canadian Health Care: A Viable Model? John Stossel discovers some dead-serious drawbacks to socialized medicine.

Saw this discussed on Hannity. Actual Undercover (camera) investigation of Canadian health care--Wow! Two to 10-Hour wait for doctor for a skateboard accident wrist injury. A clinic with no doctors--unless you have cash. Hmmm? Three years to get a family Doctor. Suggested to go get private care & Pay more?! Five to Seven month wait for dermatologist? Out of tetnus shots? This was Tres Tragic! This is the future of American Health Care, what HAS BEEN BEST HEALTH CARE IN WORLD. One pic worth a thousand words--to see what actually happens up there! Watch & send to your uninformed friends...

My health-care prejudices crumbled not in the classroom but on the way to one. On a subzero Winnipeg morning in 1997, I cut across the hospital emergency room to shave a few minutes off my frigid commute. Swinging open the door, I stepped into a nightmare: the ER overflowed with elderly people on stretchers, waiting for admission. Some, it turned out, had waited five days. The air stank with sweat and urine. Right then, I began to reconsider everything that I thought I knew about Canadian health care. I soon discovered that the problems went well beyond overcrowded ERs. Patients...

Health Reform: A critically ill premature baby is moved to a U.S hospital to get the treatment she couldn't get in the system we're told we should emulate. Cost-effective care? In Canada, as elsewhere, you get what you pay for.Ava Isabella Stinson was born last Thursday at St. Joseph's hospital in Hamilton, Ontario. Weighing only two pounds, she was born 13 weeks premature and needed some very special care. Unfortunately, there were no open neonatal intensive care beds for her at St. Joseph's — or anywhere else in the entire province of Ontario, it seems.

So I am in an online discussion with a couple of Canadians about health care. They maintain that their's is cheaper (they say their taxes are fairly comprable to ours) and that American health care is considered the worst system in the world and that very few Canadians actually seek treatment in America. They say we pay too much and that conservatives are just fear mongering when it comes to how bad Canadian health care is. Help me out here please.

As a Canadian living in the United States for the past 17 years, I am frequently asked by Americans and Canadians alike to declare one health care system as the better one. Often I'll avoid answering, regardless of the questioner's nationality. To choose one or the other system usually translates into a heated discussion of each one's merits, pitfalls, and an intense recitation of commonly cited statistical comparisons of the two systems. Because if the only way we compared the two systems was with statistics, there is a clear victor. It is becoming increasingly more difficult to dispute the fact...

March 26, 2009 COULD actress Natasha Richardson's tragic death have been prevented if her skiing accident had occurred in America rather than Canada? Canadian health care de-emphasizes widespread dissemination of technology like CT scanners and quick access to specialists like neurosurgeons. While all the facts of Richardson's medical care haven't been released, enough is known to pose questions with profound implications. Richardson died of an epidural hematoma -- a bleeding artery between the skull and brain that compresses and ultimately causes fatal brain damage via pressure buildup. With prompt diagnosis by CT scan, and surgery to drain the blood, most...

"...'Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system. Having electronic medical records at your fingertips, easily transferred to a hospital, is beneficial. It will help avoid duplicate tests and errors. But the bill goes further. One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions.' ...More people have got to start taking us seriously when we call this man the nation’s first socialist President! This is a...
