In BC the wait times are longer. But this is a symptom of the underfunding from federal and provincial governments. COVID was tough on the health care systems and they did a lot with what they had. Now should be the time to invest in the system and get it healthy again, but apparently more pipelines are the priority...

But overall I am satisfied for our system. It does not cost taxpayers an arm and a leg to fund it, and an emergency won't bankrupt someone. If you can get extended coverage such as with an employer then you pay minimal amounts for dental, medications, and paramedical services like physio or massage. From what I hear of the American system, I am shocked that there isn't some type of bare bones coverage for everyone. Sounds like a third world country from up here...

And now it's bitching about bitching... What has this world become...

Time to get a new post... This sounds like the equivalent of duct taping your fence together.

What does it say? Paywall in the way...

Not in my experience. Perhaps if you were charging at a location which charges an inflated rate. At my current electrical costs in Canada, electric is cheaper per kilometre.

How can one add social.bbc to my Lemmy subscribed list?

I would actually prefer them over you... So goodbye.

There was no option to stream it in Canada. The only option to watch GoT was cable.

How so? There was no streaming option in Canada for GoT. HBO max was not offered. I even tried with a VPN but they wouldn't accept a Canadian credit card. So piracy was the only option unless I wanted to get cable... But who would want that.

[–] pectoralis@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It is not. But GoT was not available to stream in Canada. Without any streaming options, piracy was the only way to watch... Unless of course I wanted cable and HBOs pricey package.
