Hey Rob, I think your missing the context to Crunches post. This nation is hurting this Canada day under the recent discoveries of unmarked graves of indigenous children who lived and then parished in the residential school system here in Canada. Some sins can never be forgotten.

Well done Crunch, Happy Canada Day everyone. We have a lot to be grateful for in this nation. Like many other nations we also have a dark past which sadly has come to light of late. Today is a day to celebrate the pride and love we feel for our nation without forgetting the sins of our past. Great post my friend.

Well, this group is notorious for having the best master-baiters around.

Thanks Weed, I appreciate your kind words buddy.

Good debate guys! Well done! Im out.

It must be so miserable being so pissed off all the world all day lol

Has any country made a definitive decision on this yet? I don’t think so... So your cartoon is pointless isn’t it?

And god said, let there be light

You are correct Sammy in that we live in a world of political extremism. The far left and the far right resemble each other in the way they pursue their political goals. Both are disposed to censor their opponents, Both tend to support (or oppose) civil liberties in a highly partisan and self-serving fashion, supporting freedom for themselves and their causes they favour while seeking to withhold it from enemies and advocates of causes they dislike. it’s those who scream the loudest from their soap box that get all the attention these days.

Oh Beers, your way to hard on yourself. You will be fine.

Your incorrect Mike and you know it. I have asked if compromises could be done so common ground could be met and in turn I get the same rhetoric. I rather be part of the solution than the problem... that means I am willing to compromise. I don’t think I can be anymore clear with that statement.

Talk is cheap, and ranting is useless. You care to have a constructive conversation on finding common ground, you know where to find me. Personally? I don’t think many of you wish to find common ground.

I rest my case, thank you for making my point.

Oh Sammy, sadly the word bipartisan means nothing to this crowd. It seems most individuals want to scream at each other and blame everyone else for their lot in life than actually make a difference.

Hey, who doesnt love Pussy!

I swear Mike you pee your pants every time someone mentioned Socialism (LOL) Which oddly you mention it all the time. Shall I order you some depends? LOL

I dont think this is a left or right problem but rather people in general who think they are entitled to better care above and beyond anyone else. I reside In Canada where violence or harrassment of staff is not tolerated PERIOD! Workers may refuse to perform dangerous work using the Dangerous Work Refusal Process here in Alberta. If any staff member feels threatened in the midst of their duties, they may refuse to do such duties. We are all entitled to a safe and secure work environment regardless where we work. Sadly this is not just healthcare staff being subjected to this. This article is from today. Its society in general. https://www.foxnews.com/us/southwest-flight-attendent-assulted

This has turned into a dark conversation I am not comfortable with. I have worked hard and treated every patient with the respect and dignity they deserved, and what I hope for if I was a patient as well. If you wish to make a statement that you have experienced or witnessed poor treatment, or even preferential treatment to others then I would advise you talk to someone in your health authority or your local MP, MLA or state representative. I myself have worked with some amazing individuals in my career who have given themselves tirelessly to their profession. Yes, I have met some you also treated this as a pay check but gratefully they could not make as a career. Is it possible that some individuals let their own personal ideals cloud their work, yes its possible. I just have not witnessed it in my career and I am grateful. I stress again, you have concerns and yes make allegations then I suggest you contact someone. Your not doing any any good venting here, maybe go outside and scream at clouds, at least then you are getting some exercise.

Hey Crunch, first off I can not comment on the case you mentioned but only express common practices in my experience. If someone is diagnosed with Covid 19 and their symptoms are not life threatening then a ventilator is not required. The process required to be on a ventilator is quite precise. You first need to be under general anesthetic and the intubated. You are then monitored 24/7 by medical staff most likely in ICU. No one takes being on a ventilator lightly, its typically designed for short term use, the longer you are on it, the worse your chances are of a full recovery. As for self isolation for 30 days? Its most likely 28 days but to the variant Covid-19. The isolation period is longer than the standard 14 days. As for privilege, I dont see that. Good question though.

And what were you expecting from me? No, I would like an answer.

Awesome pics, looks great.

Well said. https://www.cntraveler.com/gallery/the-10-happiest-countries-in-the-world

One was an emerg case and we are obligated to provide care. I was a young then and shocked at what happened. You convince yourself that your providing care regardless of the patient. There has been numerous times i wanted to tell a patient to fuck off but I held back. The second? it was an elective exam and i handed him his rec back and told him get out. My management backed me for any abuse is not tolerated. He was later banned from service for we are a private provider.
