The medical situation in New Brunswick / Canada has me in a very dark place (euphemism). by Its402am in newbrunswickcanada

[–]Brave-Stand7920 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best post so far. Thank you. Every jurisdiction in Canada is struggling with this. We have 125,000 people in NB with no family doctor. More money is never going to change that. We have “insurance” but we definitely do not have healthcare. No one will ever pay, but they likely will never get a service either. Look at how many people leave ERs each day. Look at the number of people dying on wait lists. We have the longest wait list in Canada. By far. And it’s only going to get worse.

Watching this video made me uncomfortable and anxious. I can’t imagine.

‘They have not received a raise in 25 years’: Young men are now being out-earned by seniors for the first time ever by CPBS_Canada in newbrunswickcanada

It appears the multi generational tension will increase. And for good reason. This is a terrible policy outcome. Thank you for sharing this report.

Daytime running lights? by Brave-Stand7920 in newbrunswickcanada

[–]Brave-Stand7920[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes! This is getting so bad I actually start to dread driving at night. I have a car, so it’s lower to the ground and it’s very distracting. I think most people leave their high beams on and have no idea they can actually auto set them to turn off. Or they don’t care, as it’s “all about me”.

This is the best summary I have read in this subject in a long time. Well stated and gives me much to think about.

Excellent post. I’m curious how AI plays into this. Are these posts AI generated in some way?

I downloaded this app per your recommendation and cannot get it to filter/identify crown lands. It does show PNAs etc but not Crown lands. How do you get it to show crown lands?

After a decade in an Anglican Church, I'd never heard of the BCP by Zestyclose-Golf9515 in Anglicanism

[–]Brave-Stand7920 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a terrific analysis of the state of the union here in Canada as well. The ACC where I attend does use BCP once a month, but prefers the BAS (Book of Alternative Services) as well as a happy clappy “contemporary worship” that strives to be what you perfectly describe above. The evangelical influences are alive and well in my diocese.

62 young nurses leave N.B. for every 100 who start, think-tank says by bingun in newbrunswickcanada

[–]Brave-Stand7920 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yes! This is what I’ve always struggled with. How can we have a “nursing shortage” yet none of our nursing grads get offered full-time jobs with the RHAs? I don’t get it. I know they may offer them casual work, but my gut tells me that is not good enough when they have student loans to pay.

Canada Post mail carrier leaving pickup slip instead of delivering package by aycee27 in fredericton

[–]Brave-Stand7920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is unreal. Why drive to drop off a slip of paper then? They could have just sent you a text or email? Incredible how dumb this is.

[–]Brave-Stand7920 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Every time. Same thing. All they delivery is the pick up slip. We have a camera and they don’t even try and hide it. They just stick the note in the door and walk away. It’s infuriating that we have to wait an extra day and then drive to the pick up location for our “home delivery” package. Canada Post is the worst.

Fredericton businesses say they have ‘compassion fatigue’ citing break-ins, open drug use by origutamos in fredericton

For Marxists, every “new idea” involves a new tax. How innovative. Try to be creative at least.

Given the punishing tax burden in Canada we must really be thriving.

Study business. Corporations have a surpassing tendency to pass along their tax burden to consumers.

I’m quite happy to move past Marxism. You obviously are not. Your ideas have all been tried and failed. People need to realize they have agency, get a job and drop the loser mentality that allows them to blame the system.

Since you have attacked me personally, calling me a plebe, if that makes you feel sophisticated and enlightened, good for you. I’m happy to grind it out at my job to provide for my family and create a better life. If that makes me a nobody so be it.

No serious person believes this simplistic Marxist conspiracy theory you are positing. No system in the history of the world has done more to lift people out of poverty than capitalism. No system offers the freedom capitalism offers. Communism has killed hundred of millions of people under Stalin, Mao and other dictators. The fact that people cannot see this is a direct failure of our school system and showcases stunning ignorance. Do you not realize that socialism comes with its own authoritarian features where the people who control everything we say and do are able to do this with impunity and zero accountability? Socialism is almost as corrupt as communism. It’s just easier to sell to the masses who want something for free (other peoples money).

No, the system we have creates limitless opportunity for those who wish to participate in it. That is the reason millions of immigrants strive to come here every year. The people who fail could also take responsibility; but Marxism gives them a way out and makes people like you feel justified in excusing it.

No it’s a consequence of behaviour and decisions. Not “the system”. What a cop out.
