when I was pregnant I got a bottle of wine from my in-laws. I'm assuming it's bc plan b wasn't available. 🙄🤣🤣

Very briefly we had them in England too, I got one when my daughter was born. It had a lot less in it, but the box crib itself was absolutely brilliant for around the house naps!

Does it have a small set of Bagpipes?

The condoms are for the mom lol

@KnightOwl the word you are looking for is ’woman’ - ‘every pregnant woman’

Republicans aren't pro life, they're pro forced birthers. After the baby is born, it's on it's own.

Correct, no one is going to purposely transition to go into a certain bathroom. That being said-No males in women’s sports, no males in women’s spaces.

And every public washroom should be just that. A private room with a toilet and sink and a door that goes fully top to bottom, all arranged in a row in a hallway. No one then has access to anyone else and anyone of any gender can use any water closet/toilet room.

You haven't noticed the person running around the comments section calling women C words, T words, B words because they don't think women's bathrooms, locker rooms or domestic violence shelters should include men? I guess this is the site for that?

People who complain about taxes are actually the ones who want "free stuff". Taxes paying for making the life of all better / easier is exactly how society should function. But greedy and selfish people are whining that they can't just take, take take.

As I understand it, the amount paid in Canadian taxes for health services is less than what the typical US private insurance with deductibles costs (and for those who say their employer pays...well, that just means they pay you less). And single payer takes out of the system all those people whose job it is to deny coverage, or to make profits off of health insurance, or on the other side to hunt down the patients to get the co-pays to the hospitals. That's a ton of overhead.

I'd like to add to this that those taxes they pay cover EVERYTHING. Whereas, the exorbitant amount we spend on monthly premiums hardly covers anything. You want your money to actually pay for your healthcare or just pay your hard-earned money for a CEO's fifth yacht?

Australian - not Canadian - except for those on low income we pay 2% of our taxable income for our Medicare - 1% for public health and %1 so those with disabilities can live a dignified life - there was talk about a further 1% to fix up aged care/nursing homes and I'm all for it.

the people complaining about taxes, should check how much a person pays in taxes in this countries throughout their whole life, compared to 1 bill for something like cancer. American's don't understand that you don't paid millions of dollars in taxes every year. That their system is just massively inflated because it serves the interests of investors, not health. Any other country, prices are orders of magnitude lower just by the simple fact that they are there to heal people, not make profit

Also, how is paying 250 to 500 per month toward insurance and then a co pay of up to 1000 better than paying between 1000 to 1600 per year extra on taxes?

Their taxes are not much higher than many in America. Of course much higher than corporations and billionaires pay...

I like you. 💯

Come on, now! We get to see the airplanes fly over the Superbowl!!

Also, progressives like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders keep trying to pass bills to tax billionaires what they should be paying and just that would more than cover universal healthcare for the rest of us. We can have nice things, we just need to stop electing g the wrong people.

Also, both Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders had brilliant plans where just taxing billionaires was they should owe would subsidize universal care for the other 99%. We can have nice things if we stop electing the wrong people.

C'mon, don't overstate your case. The police, fire dept, libraries, public schools, town parks, OSHA, NASA, the post office, the national parks system and so much more are all paid for by taxes. Saying that you "rarely see any benefit" just demonstrates how ignorant you are.

But we have larger sodas with ingredients you can’t safely get in other countries.
