Some Canadian provinces have logged a jump in unclaimed dead bodies in recent years, with next of kin citing funeral costs as a growing reason for not collecting loved ones’ remains.

Thats horrifying. Are the canadians doing okay?
The bodies continue to pile up in the morgues, but our supply of unused N95 masks cuts the edge off the smell…
In all seriousness, I’d suspect, on average, we’re doing better than Americans because we at least have a better social safety net and public healthcare (granted, the Conservatives have been trying to chip away at that). In some ways things are getting better, like a degree of dental and pharmacare being phased in. On the other hand, the plutocracy that runs our major consumer sectors are price gouging like the best of them under the guise of inflation (while making record profits). We’re also all but guaranteed to get our own Trump-lite voted into power at the next election, and he’s frothing at the mouth to make things worse. The first thing on the chopping block will likely be the carbon tax, which in my opinion already isn’t punitive enough.
I guess wave if you see me in the opposite trench in the water wars in a few decades… ?
I can confirm this person is Canadian, due to their reply (immediately) containing a favourable comparison between Canada and the US.
And I completely agree with the rest of their comments. Evil Milhouse is going to also try to attack abortion, remove dental from healthcare, etc.
It’s a part of our national fabric.
Brilliant!
We Americans sure are good at exporting freedom that’s restrictive. The cancer has metastasized.
