Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told Donald Trump on Tuesday that his country will never be for sale, shutting down the U.S. president’s repeated calls to make Canada the 51st state.

“There are some places that are never for sale,” Carney said in the Oval Office.

Canada is “not for sale” and “won’t be for sale ever,” the prime minister said.

Trump replied: “Never say never.”

      If someone needs immediate health care, it’s there. Everyone is triaged, which means you are evaluated and are put in order of severity. No one loses their house because of health bills. No one loses their life savings because of health bills. No one dies because they can’t afford their medication. In the US health care is big business. In Canada it’s a right.

      You think medical staff has magically more resources when the funding is managed differently?

        i think that socialised healthcare tends to have better health outcomes and wait times are both not that bad, and at worst a minor inconvenience
