  1. FFS... they play 82 games. It's going to happen more than once.
  2. My friends went camping there last year. It's a beautiful spot but gets way too crowded. Lac Baskatong is much better.
  3. Did I just see a Bills commercial?
  4. You sure? Maybe you should give it some thought.
  5. Oh Sorry, I misunderstood.
  6. Ok so is Lincoln going back to jail? The whole point of the show was to get this idiot out of jail and now he got arrested again. This is getting dumber than 24.
  7. True. I took a class on the economics of health care last year and this was pretty much what was discussed through the course. Comparing the Canadian and American system and how it could be improved.
  8. Because the specialists are paid more. That is the problem with socialized medicine. Doctors make nearly 3 times the income they would make in Canada, what incentive do they have to stay?
  9. I work in Westmount. The company I work for owns a bunch of the real estate in the Westmount/downtown area. To be honest though, I do sympathize with some of the Partie Quebecois grumblings with the Federal government, but I think that it's a lost cause and that their own bitching will cause more problems than it will solve. Earthquakes?? There was only one ice storm and my house didn't even lose cable let alone power.
  10. I like La Belle Province . My cousin who works for CAE travels all around Canada and the US. He told me from his experiences that Calgary/Edmonton are a nice place to live but nothing beats Montreal. I have family here, and if I ever do decide to leave, it's to go to Rome.
  11. Well like I said, it is very debatable. Personally, I do wish that everyone have access to basic medical services and good schools. Pretty much the building blocks of every society. It is unrealistic though. The problem with Quebec is the whole language/sovereignty debate. It has literally killed any prosperity this province had. That, and the fact that the immigrants control more of this province than the actual french speaking people that do live here.
  12. But the wealthier would get the better practitioners since the private clinics would offer better wages. Whether it is more efficient, I think it is but it defeats the whole purpose of the health care system in Canada.
  13. I don't like the conservatives. Was never a big fan of Mulroney. To be honest, Liberals are the main reason why Italian immigrants were able to do so well here in Quebec. Not going to turn my back on them now
  14. Alberta is a better province than Quebec. Better managed, and I believe the doctors are compensated better than in most other provinces.
  15. When Newman went to court for speeding, and told the judge that he was speeding to save Kramer's life, who was committing suicide since he never fulfilled his lifelong dream of being a banker.
  16. I'm guessing you don't watch Seinfeld.
  17. I took a class on health care last year. US spends more than Canada as a percentage of GDP in health care. I live in Canada, and at the moment, if I get an illness, the waiting periods are huge. I can't compare with the US since I've never been to a hospital/clinic there. From what I saw they were both inefficient but Canada's was inefficient because of mismanagement and US was inefficient because of dishonest HMO's.
  18. They got their SB though which will probably comfort them through this sh------- season.
