    As I understand it, you have a need for some things. The interesting one is medication to keep you stable, plus right now I guess you need antibiotics and possibly some pain medication. You're voting to lose all that.

    Don't believe me? Nobody thought they would lose access to medication when they voted for leftists in Venezuela. For a time, everything was great. There was subsidized everything! Eventually though, you run out of other people's money, and then shit hits the fan. People start dying because they can't get antibiotics.

    Granted, it takes a while for this to happen. You aren't that old though. You could live to see a socialist dystopia if people like Ocasio Cortez get to run this country into the ground. Someday you could be sneaking into the zoo to hunt for food.

    While they have taxes, we have the increased prices of products and services sold by companies that provide insurance to their employees.

      Canada is lucky to have the USA paying for things. When the USA overpays for drugs, that supports the companies. Canada barely covers production cost. When the USA overpays for NATO and FIVEEYES and more, Canada is protected. It must be nice being Canada. It won't be nice after the USA collapses and there are American refugees headed toward Canada.

      Canada itself hasn't gone full leftist. They are disturbingly close. Canada isn't yet doing the really stupid shit like setting price limits for random household things like diapers and toilet paper. Leftism eventually does that, which is why those things are only available on the blackmarket in Venezuela. Socialism gives you a smelly ass.

      BTW, it isn't just Venezuela. That is simply the most dramatic recent case. There's also Zimbabwe, the cultural revolution, Castro's little island prison, Best Korea, and every other foolish attempt to implement a leftist utopia.
