  • I had a medical emergency yesterday that may me realize how lucky I am to live in Canada.

    I’m getting weekly immunotherapy allergy shots (which are also covered by the free healthcare here) and I had a bad reaction to a shot. They needed to give me 2 epipens and some ventilator drug and stretchered me in an ambulance to the hospital where I waited about 5-10 min (I was stable at this point) for a private room. They kept me there for like 4 hours with IV drip and prescribed me another EpiPen.

    Total cost was 0 with no questions asked. I know for non life threatening injuries like broken bones you might be waiting a few hours to get in, but I’d rather it be like that then have the possibility of going in massive debt.


  • I think you’re living in an online Reddit bubble. I’m not an Elon fan at all, and most people in the real world don’t drive cars based on their political affiliation.Lots of CEOs of major car companies are slimy and have been involved in scandals.

    I bought my model 3 for $50k CAD after incentives and tax which is expensive but not an absurd price, and have had 0 problems with it after 2 years and it’s an amazing car. I know about the quality control issues with some cars but the warranty is good. I’m pretty sure the oldest Teslas on the road are 13+ years old so I’m pretty happy I’ll get to drive it for so long.
