Frankly, the world would be a better place if the US became Canada's fourth territory.

The implication may be imperative ... thus only another stray statistic ... outlier? They say knowing the outlier is wise ... dealers and drivers would go that far as then we'd know what they're up TU! Dah deux I say ... double talk?

It is specifically the age bracket that most countries would rather keep than lose.

Why do you have to be a certain age to drink drive marry vote or join the military? Why do people prefer to hire younger than older? Why did you leave Canada?

None of those are valid answers to the kind of ageism you've shown here

Policy research findings indicate that age is a significant criterion in immigration policies mainly due to the labour market demands. Furthermore, different studies display older immigrants’ disadvantages, yet, most of them failed to observe it as practices of ageism.

While Canada welcomes thousands of immigrants every year, there is another phenomenon that is less talked about: the massive amounts of young Canadians leaving Canada. According to Statistics Canada, more than 2.8 million Canadians live abroad, and many of them are under the age of 35.

What could possibly cause so many young, educated Canadians to leave Canada behind?

Perhaps your own reasons for leaving Canada behind could provide some insight.
 
Hundreds of reasons. Education, spouses, short term employment, retirement to warmer climate, to be close to family, businesses, exploring different cultures, avoiding arrest, pursuit of one or more life goals, hoping for higher income, anonymity, career advancement, mission or service, particular cultural values, enquiry or research.

All is ah Din an old word expression for chaos ... given our tendency for disorder so as to get around the laws (lost it)! It should be comprehensive and those looking for advantage ... well those that have a larger concern would bother ... others will not as they succumb to the tease of fast wealth ... dispelling labor!

How many would like to understand what they are doing to the self? The sage declared it is best not to know ... it is a worry ... thus fulminations ... maddening craw dids on the move ...

The abstract flashes among the absolute ... small blings and blinks! The declaration is don't say anything ceruse ... may cause pre carious process ... 4 thought?

ANd I would say the quest for affordability is a part for some. but sometimes that is a bit of a fool's game in the end. For instance, many young adults tend to think about health care less than others and so might not count on the reality of US health care costs.

  • January 15, 2025

  • Data shows nearly 75,000 waiting list deaths since 2018-19, covering a wide range of surgical and diagnostic services
  • No government discloses the data publicly despite shaming businesses publicly for mouldy soup cans found during restaurant inspections.
Today, SecondStreet.org released government data showing an additional 15,474 patients in Canada died in 2023-24 before receiving various surgeries or diagnostic scans. However, that number is incomplete, as several governments provide either partial data, or simply do not track the problem.

SecondStreet.org collected the data by filing Freedom of Information (FOI) requests across Canada. When the data collected is extrapolated across jurisdictions which did not provide data, the number actually nearly doubles, to around 28,077. These figures cover everything from cancer treatment and heart operations to cataract surgery and MRI scans.

“Canadians pay really high taxes and yet our health care system is failing when compared to better-performing universal systems in Europe,” said Harrison Fleming, Legislative and Policy Director at SecondStreet.org. “Thousands of Canadians across the country find themselves on waitlists — in some cases for several years -— with too many tragically dying before ever getting treated, or even diagnosed.”

This report examines the data SecondStreet.org gathered from provincial governments and their health authorities, between April 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024. Highlights from the research include:

  • At least 15,474 patients died in Canada while waiting for surgeries or diagnostic scans. This figure does not include Quebec, Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador and most of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia only provided data on patients who died while waiting for surgeries – not diagnostic scans.
  • If one extrapolates the data provided across provinces and health regions that did not provide data, an estimated 28,077 patients died last year on health care waiting lists.
  • While some response data is vague, SecondStreet.org observed cases where patients died after waiting anywhere from less than a week for treatment to more than 14 years.
  • New data from Ontario Health suggests 378 patients died while waiting for cardiac surgery or a cardiac procedure.
  • Since April 2018, SecondStreet.org has identified a staggering 74,677 cases where Canadians died while waiting for care.
“When a restaurant fails a health inspection, the government shares the news publicly and sometimes notices are posted in the establishment’s windows for everyone to see,” said Colin Craig, SecondStreet.org President. “But, when nearly 75,000 Canadians have died before getting the care they needed, governments don’t proactively disclose anything. Maybe it’s time for governments to hold themselves to the same standard they hold everyone else.”

“This research was inspired by stories like Laura Hillier’s, the 18-year-old Ontario patient that died on a waiting list for cancer treatment,” added Craig. “Governments need to do a better job tracking tragic stories like hers, notifying the public about waiting lists deaths and most importantly, initiating reform to save lives.”

And yet the deviations in what the statistics are and what they should be are controlled by berserkers ... and these believe they are right because they are winning ... very sad! Yet triumphant is the object that is beyond the subjective nihilism ... so the thing goes down in the temporal state! depressing if you are alert to life as Ra elled out ...
