They wouldn’t even care if it was for any other President.

Masks don't work, and I would expect Trump to get a higher level of care than I would. Also, the treatments, isn't that what the Dems were being critical of, anything Trump suggested might work?

We still have rights and freedoms that we can exercise, Dems aren't in charge at this time.

For whatever reason, you choose to live in a fantasyland. Reality contradicts your warped imagination.
You are misunderstanding the article.

What some Canadians are talking about is what we already have in BC. Private clinics, private labs etc, but working WITHIN the public system.

Canadians are NOT asking for a US style type of system.

Plus. one survey out of Quebec, doesn't represent all of Canada. Even so, the article does state "The Leger Web poll of 1,527 respondents found that despite the problems with Canada’s health system, 61 per cent are still satisfied with it. "

Which is lower than the national average which many surveys put satisfaction between 86 to over 90 percent.

I am also not is some sort of fantasy land. I live here and have a lot of experience with the system.

But masks are like life jackets. They won't work unless you use them. Too many people after wearing masks in public aren't wearing them at private gatherings. So a high percentage of COVID-19 infections take place at home.

The only treatment being criticized by Democrats was Hydroxychloroquine. It was touted by Trump, but later found not to be effective. So Trump wasn't given any.

So, many conservatives would say a person not carrying his weight from being poor isn't worthy of having one doctor. It helps to explain why conservatives favor abolishing ObamaCare.

Nope. It's pretty clear:

2/3 of Canadians believe they don't get timely health care. Clearly, they're on health care rationing waiting lists.
