#42Head to the woods to make a small hike, at least once in a week. Avoid polluted environments.
Many of the natural areas in Florida are maintained with the use glyphosate. Assumption now is pollution is everywhere.

#43Canadian healthcare is scary, and it's made worse by these politicians that always go to the US for care. The joke is that it's gotten so progressive that no one gets better, we all have to equally suffer. You can see clearly how this situation was mishandled.
Still living 3 years longer then the Americans.

#44We must be very, very careful before assuming that the government and health authorities are lying here.
The guardian usually goes for "the worst case scenario" and it is easy to see all kinds of causal relationships in a series of anecdotes when our fear response is triggered.

#45This was previously discussed on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28979532 The linked article is about how NB went out of their way to shut out federal investigators. If it’s environmental, it’s possible the NB government is trying to cover it up. This is also briefly touched on in this article: > The scientist said teams are ready to begin the research, but “New Brunswick has specifically told us not to go f…
That signals a splendid research candidate.

Environmental pollution is everywhere industrial capitalism is Also where industrial communism was? Where industrial democratic socialism is? Wouldn't it be more accurate to just say: where industrial humans are or have been?
Well that's a nitpicking argument which depends on your definitions. From what i understand, what you call "communism" i call "State capitalism" and what you call "democratic socialism" i call "liberal capitalism". Under all these systems, there's privileges: people who have more and people who have less, while communism is usually defined as a stateless/classless society (including by marxists). > Wouldn't it be mor…
That sounds to me like no true Scotsmanship.

This is only news because doctors resist. They’re doing great.

American obesity may be the explanation here.

Canadians are generally very satisfied with the quality and availability of healthcare in Canada. The issue in this case is not the quality of care but the possibility that the provincial government is suppressing testing that might reveal that a naturally-produced neurotoxin has contaminated bottom-feeding crustaceans such as lobster.
> Canadians are generally very satisfied with the quality and availability of healthcare in Canada. If any of us are it's because of the pervasive anti-American propaganda spewn about. My GF is from the Czech Republic (where we currently are) and since we got here she's been getting all her standard check ups done. Here she can make an appointment only a day in advance (as opposed to weeks or months out in Canada), t…
I’m Canadian and am extremely happy with the state of healthcare. It has nothing to do with propaganda but personal experience.
Please don’t claim to speak for me. Your view does not match the typical Canadian’s.

> Canadians are generally very satisfied with the quality and availability of healthcare. I'd love to see the list of people you surveyed to draw this conclusion. In my metropolitan area availability is abysmal and (in my experience recently) quality is not great. I am contrasting this to my recent experiences in the US system.
I notice you said recently. Keep in mind that we’re in a pandemic and elective procedures/many types of testing have been postponed. That’s because it’s a pandemic. I’m not so selfish to expect healthcare workers to work 24/7.
