If Canada's socialized medicine is so good, why are they going elsewhere to get treated? It doesn't say where they're going but my guess it was right here in the good old UsofA!

The "elsewhere" is the US.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Much like the rest of the world's "peacekeepers".
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

But where is our 'elsewhere' when our system is like Canada's? Mexico, Cuba or some other 3rd world crap hole?
