  1. In Switzerland is a rifle in everyone home.
    What would you say ?
    In my opinion, medical records should be strictly enforced and well controlled plus should be age restriction from 28-30 y.o.?

    Yeah, it's not quite the same though is it? There is a whole different ethos to gun ownership there..it's more about national defence than self defence. It's never been that "my gun's bigger that your's mofo", hence the much lower deaths from gunshots
     
  3. No, this is matter of civil education ! If you use to have a gun and you are civilized person.
    If some criminal comes into your house - you will defend YOUR family.
    Problem is education of how and where to use it !
    I don’t have any, in my local area - no need. However, my son got more than one.
    That is supposed to be by your personal decision, but strictly enforced restrictions.
    Criminals will find out the way to have it !

    This is a bs narrative not supported by facts at all. American medical care is NOT more advanced then Canadian medical care. The vast majority of Canadians get ALL their medical care in Canada. Canadians outlive Americans by 4 years a number that is increasing in recent years.

    You can't possibly be that stupid.

    Those Emirate and Saudi states blatantly stole from the people, a few families own it all, and hand out freebies to keep the sheeple happy.

    This is exactly how I imagine the average maga person: getting raped and thinking at the same time he got a great deal and sharing his sheer joy with the rest. That's like watching dozens of imbecile princes driving by in super sports cars and you walking the street and bending over and thanking them for the privilege to partake in the sight. Like maga being overjoyed that the immigration issue is solved (which it of course is not at all and never will be because American politicians are only henchmen for the business elite that controls your every breath)

    Some Canadians lol your input is a big joke. Go ahead try to get Americans who go bankrupt because of a medical event that their system is better. And don't try to tell me your health care is better because AGAIN Canadians outlive Americans by 4 years. Accessibility to care and affordability are part of the reason. I've never had a access issue to healthcare in my entire life, nor anyone in my extended family.

    Picture could have been taken in the USA.
    Poverty is everywhere. Guess that's why Trump is president lol
     
  8. Did you visit UAE, did you see how their citizens are living and what is their quality of life ?
    You are definitely so naive and brainwashed stubborn person who know nothing!

    For the few wealthy yes, that is what the US has always been about...no money no honey, pay for play. And guess what, they are getting a way better treatment in your country than you or your entire family. Healthcare for the middle class, though, is phenomenally better and more affordable in Canada than in the US.

     
  10. What is your age, I’m about if you have any serious health issues. Probably not, therefore you can not talk about all Canadians.
    I’m not saying American medicine is perfect. And even I know who is making it worse.
    But Canadian as well have some issues. If you don’t see it, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
