It;s all right and good in "your volentary society", but we see it doesn't or didn't work in the US.
People still have the right to emergency rooms, or an ambulance, even though they can't pay for it. - So, it leaves the others to pick up the tab.
UNless, you want a society where someone is bleeding to death on the streets, and they check if you have an insurance card on you first, and if not, they leave you there.
And yes, I'm along the 80% of Canadians that think our healthcare is great, and as far as I know, so is DS, since he stated that himself on postings.
We'll get those waiting times down, but as one of the fastest growing population in the western world it got difficult, but they have still managed to bring down the waiting lists.
(and remember, those are just for non urgent cases, urgent cases get treatment a.s.a.p., like my mother had 2 years ago, as she fell and broke her hip).
Ofcourse, you have non urgent hip surgeries (people can still walk, etc), they will get treated sooner or later.

If long term unemployment and laziness make a worldpower then you guys are #1 already.

First of all, our unemployment numbers are less then yours, secondly our goverment unemployment fund holds over a billion in surplus, and thirdly, if you haven't heard, the recession has been over here for quite some time now. We already raised interest rates, and will be doing so, again, very shortly.
And btw, 99 weeks of collecting unemployment here is totally unheard of ! (Only in America) !

How long can I receive EI?
You can receive EI from 19 weeks up to a maximum of 50 weeks, depending on the unemployment rate in your region at the time of filing your claim and the amount of insurable hours you have accumulated in the last 52 weeks or since your last claim, whichever is shorter.
The "Improved Duration of Employment Insurance (EI) Regular Benefits" initiative increases the duration of regular benefits. This temporary initiative applies to all claims whose benefit period has not ended before March 1, 2009, and whose benefit period does not begin after September 11, 2010.

This was the subject :
Now, you can either agree or disagree with me or Cach, which country has more longterm bennies (and is lazy).
You have the facts, so where is your input ?
And keep in mind our unemployment numbers are less then in the States, too !

Lets get to the point. This ain`t about Canada,it`s about you. Try and spin it anyway you want. The fact of the matter is when it comes to sucking off the blood of the working class you`re on a epic of Dracula proportions

I paid my fair share and plus some, my share for schools, that I didn't use, my share for playgrounds I didn't use, my share as in the highest tax bracket (single with no kids), my share for other peoples kids to get healthcare, and so on.
Nevermind all the pregnant women that get 26 weeks Unemployment checks.
Even little things , such as garbage pick-up. Took me 3 weeks to finally fill a garbage bag and put it out today.
I don't need weekly garbage pick-up, but still need to pay for it.
Btw, yes, by percentage.. 7.9% here. (still 2 percent higher then prior the recession).
