The "Lesson" you take from this is you're "surprised Canada hasn't learned from watching their neighbours to the south."

How the fuck do you connect these dots? What exactly are you trying to say?

When my mom got sick with cancer, she received all of her tests and medicine for free. When she fell at her home and could not get up, an ambulance came and 2 technicians took amazing care of her. She was afraid to go to the Hospital, and these techs took their time (almost an hour) keeping her calm, explain what they were going to do, and kept a great attitude the entire time. My mom was actually happy when they took her. I was impressed with the care they gave her.

These responders and techs see alot of horror. They see car crashes, dismembered limbs and brains splattered all over the place and yet they manage to do their jobs every day, and do so with amazing care and patience.

You have no fucking idea what you are talking about. You think that somehow because a couple of these amazing people get depressed and kill themselves, that this somehow makes your system and politics better. Is the only way you can feel happy about the shit that is your situation is to find imaginary trouble somewhere else, come to the wrong conclusions, post about it, and wait for the applause? At the expense of some depressed first responders at that?
