@Trevoroxx You pivoted from a nation's "sovereignty" to personal "freedom", so made no actual point about sovereignty. Also, the US overdose rate is double Canada's. And, the only reason the US housing prices are a bit lower is because they had a major real estate bubble burst. Conservatives were proud of avoiding a bubble burst in Canada, at the time, and housing prices continuing to climb. The US has around the same number of doctors, nurses, and hospital beds, per capita, as the US. Americans don't use theirs because they can't afford to. They stay at home sick and have a 5 year shorter lifespan. How is some 60k people losing their lives due to lack of coverage, hundreds of thousands going bankrupt with healthcare debt, around a million traveling to places like India for affordable cancer treatments, etc., better healthcare?

@Trevoroxx What? The "freedom" to have people losing their lives at the 2.5x higher US rate (which translates into over 500k preventable American lives lost)?

@SeymourBalz Except they aren't telling the truth. Canada's dairy tariffs on the US only come into effect after a set limit of non tariff imports. No US dairy imports to Canada hit those limits, so nobody is paying anything. US milk imports aren't even at half the set limit. Plus, those limits were all part of the Trump negotiated trade deal that he called the best trade deal ever. You MAGA will buy anything he says.

@Gantzephon Also important to note that no US dairy products are surpassing the limit. US milk isn't even at half the limit. So, nobody is actually paying those tariffs Trump is whining about.
