    With the new fascist us administration, there’s whole swaths of scientists from every discipline being fired from national research orgs. Canada has an oppprtunity to be the recipient of a siginificant US brain drain

      The whole damn world.

      The single best thing about America, its scientific infrastructure, and some jackass who can’t admit he made a typo for coffee is taking an ax to it.

          I had a friend that was living on a visa down there and paid $5 for their prescription no matter what it was. I don’t know if that’s universal though.

          Also, the more I look at their wikipedia page, it seems like it’s a mix of private and public. I’m not sure I understand how it works, but it might be like medicaid in the US.

            Interesting. We do have pharmacare here for lower income but I really think it should be universal. Divest ourself from the pharmaceutical system of the states.

            And I’ll vote NDP as long as we have to make sure no one has to worry about their teeth.
