U.S. Vice-President JD Vance made a series of posts criticizing Canada’s political leadership, public broadcaster and immigration system, saying our living standards are “stagnating” because of all the “foreign-born” people living here.

In posts to his X account Friday, Vance says Canada’s elected leaders have created “immigration insanity” by leaning into diversity.

“While I’m sure the causes are complicated, no nation has leaned more into ‘diversity is our strength, we don’t need a melting pot, we have a salad bowl’ immigration insanity than Canada,” he said.

    universal healthcare

    As long as you don’t have teeth, eyes, mental health troubles, require medication or take an ambulance.

      It’s in bad shape right now, thanks to hillbillies harassing them until they retired. It’s gonna take yeeeeaars to fix, just as soon as we can pay any attention to it.

      But, here the thing: I know from my experience that access to healthcare is no better for their system; just your bank account will dictate whether you get an ambulance or not.

      It ain’t perfect. But it’s much better than the class / wage based access shit show that is American healthcare.

      Well teeth is age based now, mental health and medication is covered in BC if your mental health application goes through for disability status.
