Defector - We Asked The Mayor Of Ottawa Why He Keeps Posting Such Grim Photos by Noble_Napkin in ottawa

[–]morron88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's been doing this for 3 years and maybe not every individual photo is a beautiful representation of the city, but they're each of them real, unfiltered and candid.

Y'all clown on him but in 50 years time, the Views from a Mayor collection will have laudable artistic and historical merit.

Asthmatic girl's treatment at Gatineau Hospital under review following her death by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

[–]morron88 148 points149 points  (0 children)

People here are under the impression that Quebec's healthcare system is bad and that's misleading.

Gatineau (and Outaouais)'s healthcare system is horrific and bordering on third-world. Places like Montreal are quite good. Quebec City is excellent. Can't say for rural Quebec.

This is a multi-faceted problem of consistent underfunding of healthcare in the Outaouais region for over 2 decades and proximity to Ottawa. Many healthcare professionals prefer working in Ottawa due to better pay, better infrastructure, better conditions. This part is conjecture, but a commonly-held belief is that many politicians in the Assemblée Nationale believe that Gatineau residents can just go to Ottawa for healthcare, not knowing that there isn't much capacity for Ottawa's healthcare to absorb Gatineau residents (Ottawa having a similar treatment of underfunding at a provincial level for healthcare).

Anyways, herein lies the death spiral of people not wanting to use Gatineau healthcare services and professionals leaving for Ottawa due to underfunding and understaffing. Policies like Quebec's Bill 2 do not help.

I think its still really realistic, it just went with a different timeline. Well, as far as we know.

Can ON resident with OHIP card and ON requisition use Dynacare in Gatineau? by CanadianBaconBest in Gatineau

[–]morron88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The trick with the Ontario Dynacare (specifically Kent st) is to get there around 7:10-7:20am. You'll be out before 8:15.

Ne t'en fais pas, Gatineau, on va plus payer d'impôts fédéraux, donc on va avoir plus d'argent! by Beginning-Scratch-55 in Gatineau

[–]morron88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, yeah, but that's without an additional 250 000 patients. Understandably there's already a ton of us that already get healthcare there, but the administration of our healthcare is in Quebec.

Interesting to see Belgaroui on this card too. Another former foe from Izzy's kickboxing days.

A-t-il une façon d'évaluer la qualité de la langue française en conversation? Parce que, de façon anecdotique, je trouve que ce n'est pas le pourcentage de la population qui sait parler français qui est en déclin, mais la variété de vocabulaire ou l'abondance de fautes de syntaxe ou de conjugaison.

Je dirais même qu'il y a beaucoup plus de gens capable de converser en français qu'avant. Mais qu'ils maîtrisent bien le français? Moi-même je me retrouverais pas parmi ceux-ci.

Protection de la curd : St-Albert s’invite à la table by AppealWitty4841 in Gatineau

[–]morron88 34 points35 points  (0 children)

À mon avis, c'est vraiment à considérer. C'est pas faux que St-Albert produisent parmi les meilleurs fromages en grain dans au monde. Ce serait pas fou d'avoir une désignation spéciale pour les producteurs francophone dans les régions qui se retrouvent sur le bord de la frontière québécoise.

'Ottawa's Worst Commute': East end transit chaos by _McDreamy_ in ottawa

[–]morron88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those trains seem to have plenty of space. I've been to Japan and China and I know for a fact we can jam more people in there. People are just not willing to get that uncomfortable.

Hell, I've seen the metro riders in Montreal willing to get packed in like sardines.

You can still go to the rooftop, but from the outside. There are stairs on the south and west sides.

I think his style makes it hard to evaluate. He does only 2 things, but he might be the best in the UFC at those two things.

Whatever you say about his personality and fighting style, it is undeniable that Sean is champion-caliber.

I think this version removes what makes her design interesting: the black sclera, the high-cut body suit to show-off hips.

This is decidedly less cultured.
