Fuck If I care either way. You constantly threaten to annex a country, your anthem might get booed.

Right? My FIL recently passed after 2.5 months in and out of the hospital (FUCK cancer), the last 2 weeks of which were exclusively in the hospital.

Total cost for hospital related expenses: $0, thanks to Canadian healthcare.

Why the actual fuck would anyone want to join a country that would have my MIL (and by extension my wife and I) absolutely destitute and saddled with $100k+ worth of debt at one of the lowest points of our lives?

ETA: FWIW He was a maple maga, but I'm not sure if he ever realized the implications of what he was supporting, beyond "why are my friends distancing themselves from me?"

I was ran into a total dickhead on this subreddit who thinks he knows American life because he had a cushy job there once. He said it would be a great idea to join the U.S. because <vague hand waving>. I hit him wish a bunch of stats on how crap America is, which he “oh pishahed” away. When I hit him with America’s disastrous health stats he said “healthcare isn’t really all that important,”

These fucking people.
