In which province would that procedure be covered by the provincial medical system ? It's certainly not covered where I live.

So how do we fix it? Alberta can't separate, cause they can't build a pipeline to their ocean coast. Better chance to build a pipeline through the same country, even if the other province doesn't like it.rookiepilot wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2025 8:00 amFinally we’re getting somewhere.

Its why we need projects like Ontario's ring of fire to be developed. Rapid growth of a population living largely in poverty? Here's work to help get that population out of poverty.
Energy East? A freaking MAYOR said no.
Northern Gateway? Ditto. Special interest groups said no.
More LNG projects? Protests galore.
You guys voted for this crap, I remind you.
I have the resources to move to the US and get set up in a heartbeat. Piece of cake. I’m not gonna pay for incompetence forever. And many of my peers have. Or maybe Alberta should separate.
Stop voting for those destroying this country for starters. The left is simply not to be tolerated.goingnowherefast wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2025 6:18 pmSo how do we fix it?

Do we just straight up stop expanding services to match population growth? That is the most logical thing when there isn't the money to support it. I'm not just picking on the north either. Lots of medevac helicopters landing on hospitals in the south too. They're even more expensive than fixed wing medevac. But saying "no more medevac planes/choppers until the ring of fire is producing tax revenue" isn't politically okay. Although it probably should be.
One government is at least trying with the Ontario Conservatives. Ring of fire mines the minerals. Process them in Thunder Bay. Car battery plants in St. Thomas and the controversy over the one in Windsor.
Why are we flying in diesel ever? Heard of ice roads? Tanker trucks? Storage tanks?**** wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2025 6:59 pm Unnecessary medevacs are a problem but are a drop in the bucket compared to how much we're spending on flying in diesel fuel for dozens of Reserves that are off-grid. Some of these are now towns with thousands of people and are growing faster than most demographics.

Look at the Soviet Union to see how well that ended up.
Because Sweden, Norway and Finland is where we used to be. The Soviet Union is where we are headed. I very much doubt Rookie would have much to say if we were anything like the Scandinavian countries. He can correct me if I'm wrong.helicopterray wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2025 8:38 pmrookiepilot wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2025 3:20 pmWhat you mean, is what has become a very popular rallying call for socialism “everyone is entitled to the same outcome in life, regardless of ones choices”

Why look at the Soviet Union? Why not look at Sweden, Norway, Finland?
