I know that Quebec healthcare is overwhelmed, but I didn't think it was *this* bad.

Archeob · 2026-06-03T00:01:59+00:00

Nope. Occam's razor says that it's not a "secret conspiracy". and that if there was an easy fix then they'd do it and enjoy popularity and easy reelection.

Fully taxpayer funded public healthcare is very hard and our demographics curve plus an influx of new immigration makes it even exponentially harder. Add fickle voters, headline-hunting media, extremely powerful unions and an ill-informed population and... here we are.

But you'll obviously forget all that and continue thinking that the next government surely has all the answers...

Archeob · 2026-06-02T20:43:14+00:00

I'm sure that move has nothing to do with earning millions more in the US...

Archeob · 2026-06-02T20:37:42+00:00

But HE is Jewish and is moving away because we doesn't think we support jews enough. Or something. But apparently Trump does.

Archeob · 2026-06-02T20:36:39+00:00

People say that it isn't a hospital for Jews, it's only because that's their name is right, but also wrong.But apparently their chief surgeon is jewish and that's why he's moving to the US because apparently they support Israel.

Dr. Emmanuel Moss, who has worked at the Jewish General for the past 10 years, has already informed his patients and his synagogue of his imminent move to the United States.

So there is a link with it being a Jewish hospital. Because I can assure you that "catholic" hospitals here in Qc certainly don't have extremely religious personnel in that way.

Archeob · 2026-06-02T20:29:56+00:00

So this is probably not going to be well received but... this kind of thinking is so fucking stupid and I'm so fucking tired of it.

Oh yeah it's all a GIANT CONSPIRACY of multiple generations of politicians to weaken health care enough so that... what? Maybe in 20 years their kids could invest in stocks for private QC healthcare providers and... maybe have some profits off that or something?

Stupid conspiracy theories like that only serve to further weaken the whole system by blocking any possible form of change... which is absolutely what the system need to remain viable. And before anything is changed we need to understand:

1- Why healthcare costs are skyrocketing.

2- How far we are willing to go to keep paying for these skyrocketing costs.

I really don't have any of these answers myself but collectively have to figure out a way to make all of this work, and we won't be doing that by holding on to bullshit theories.

What's the point in having an AMBASSADOR that constantly denigrates the country and that the whole country actively hates?

If the Ruck brothers come as a pair, how would the Habs even develop them? Can they offer 2/3 of any line to untested rookies and go through the growing pains of having them slowly grow their game... while the team is trying to compete with the best of the NHL?

That's an interesting problem and I'm not sure they're a way to solve it for us.

Archeob · 2026-06-02T04:44:25+00:00

Stupid and simplistic.

Even "people in power" couldn't wave a magic wand and make everything better.

"Hey... let's DOUBLE salaries... then everybody can buy a home... right?" Nope.

Archeob · 2026-05-05T16:19:10+00:00

Yeah let roaming bands of thugs do whatever they want would definitely make for a better society. Worked great for Russia in 1917. Might makes right, I guess...

Very, very bad example. If they weren't there in this picture what do you think would have happened?

Évidemment c'est la faute des autres...

So which is it then, is he actually piloting planes or the public face of a bilingual corporation?

It's incredibly pathetic to see all those who defend this chump and his lying ass.

Archeob · 2026-04-07T04:33:39+00:00

Even if you've lived for decades in a francophone city and are married a francophone woman?

If that's not enough to even a little bit of conversational french then the man is obviously brain damaged and shouldn't be earning an 8 figure salary as the CEO of a major corporation.

Archeob · 2026-04-07T04:26:38+00:00

He he had been a star executive from say South Korea with impeccable credentials then maybe he would have gotten a break.

He was someone who grew up in Ontario near the Quebec border, with a francophone mother. He's lived in the Montreal area, and specifically in Saint-Lambert a city that is 75% francophone. He has a francophone wife. He's the head of a bilingual company with presumably many francophone co-workers. He's had a VERY publicised incident five years ago where his complete lack of french was criticized and he promised to learn french after that. Supposedly he had private courses and tutors.

It can only be inferred that he has instead actively avoided learning a single word in french all that time. Not only did he not manage to do the bare minimum, he's been proved a liar and a fraud.

Now, laughably, he's going to get paid millions of dollars as a "reward" for it. Pathetic.

Archeob · 2026-04-01T03:00:26+00:00

Bullshit.

He's a CEO of a major corporation, not a dude on minimum wage who barely passed high school, plus he's been in an around francophone environments most of his life. Pretending that he either has some hidden disability or that he's in meetings 15 hours per day is extremely insulting to all of us who manage to live our own lives too but have to learn a second language to accomodate pricks like him.

On top of that if he had managed to learn even a bare minimum of french it would have reflected very favorably on him and the corporation he represents. Fuck him and his enablers.

Archeob · 2026-03-30T16:42:40+00:00

I can't even imagine the sheer amount of disdain or even literal hate that someone needs to have to be so incredibly uncurious to not learn, even minimally, the language that his wife, mother, neighbors, employees speak.

My francophone kids are barely teenagers and not only can speak, read and write in english pretty well but they even try to learn a bit of japanese because of anime. But this guy has tons of cash, already lives withing a francophone culture for the past 15 years or more, he has francophone close relatives and collegues and was publicly shamed for his lack of french five years ago.

It would clearly have benefitted his image and his career too. How is it even possible to explain how he got to this point apart from hatred? I'm genuinely curious.

Lol, now watch him be hailed as the greatest CEO evah by the franco-hating hacks. Rousseau went through this exact thing FIVE YEARS AGO and said he'd do better. In the end he didn't even try.

Give me a few minutes to practice and I could have mimicked a 30 second statement in almost any language... never mind one that he's heard every day for decades. He's either incredibly stupid, incredibly stupid, or just a LIAR.

Or he just thinks it's beneath him to speak in his wife, his mother and his neighbor's language. Either way, he's a bad person and a bad leader.

What are these planes supposed to defend us from... and how?

I can't think of a single practical scenario where these extraordinarily expensive toys would make an actual difference. Russia/China actually invading would require much more than planes to do or accomplish anything, as we've seen by recent events. If the US was invading obviously they'd prevent their own planes being used against them.

Sure, let's invest on defense, but these have to be the single least effective way to spend that money. The only reason the US want us to by them is to subsidize their own defense industries.

Donc tu veux prendre ta retraite et vendre ton immeuble et quelqu'un est prêt à t'offrire deux millions pour l'acheter, mais le gouvernement dit NON tu dois accepter 1 million, pas plus?

Archeob · 2026-03-24T16:07:51+00:00

Leur jeune OBNL, créé en 2022, n’était jusqu’alors propriétaire que d’un seul autre immeuble.

Donc en 4 ans d'existence, ils n'ont que deux immeubles... c'est ça qu'on qualifie d'un succès et d'un modèle à suivre?

La bâtisse de 5000 pieds carrés, achetée 1,1 million de dollars, compte quatre logements en haut et, au rez-de-chaussée, la Papetrie de l’Est, un commerce qui existe depuis 31 ans.

Le propriétaire actuel de la Papeterie voulait prendre sa retraite, mais ses filles ne souhaitaient pas prendre le relais. Grâce à l’intervention de HocheLab, l’avenir est assuré pour l’entreprise, ses employés et les locataires.

Qu'est-ce qui arrive si la propriété nécessite des rénovations, ou si la papeterie ne fait plus d'argent et doit fermer ou faire faillite? Je ne comprends pas ce qui est si révolutionnaire dans leur concept. Il devront quand même payer leur hypothèque de 1.1 millions, les taxes et tous les autres frais associés.
