Every day is a new horror in Canadian socialist health care.
A couple of weeks ago it was emergency patients being triaged in a Tim Horton’s donut shop*. This week it’s an Ontario man who became ill while vacationing in Mexico, and was left there to rot because Ontario had no available hospital beds for him.
Clayton Leveille, 21, became seriously ill while on vacation with his girlfriend last July. He had medical insurance, but waited seven weeks to be taken home because there were no hospital beds available in his hometown of St. Catharines, his mother said.
After three weeks in a Mexico hospital, Leveille was taken to a hospital in Florida where he was treated for four weeks. He was finally brought home and treated, but died in January, said Laurie Leveille.
The extra sauce of insult on this hard-to-swallow death is that it’s the New Democratic Party (aka the far-left socialists) who are moaning about the lack of hospital beds. Of course, were it not for the disaster of the Canada Health Act as created by NDP-er Tommy Douglas and consistently upheld by those who followed in his goosesteps, this boy would have been treated in a Canadian hospital and may have lived.
To have Andrea Horwath or any other socialist lay this at the feet of anyone but themselves is disingenuous at best, and an insult to the dead kid at worst.
*A friend of mine is having her infant son treated in St Tim’s over in Vancouver. He’s 16 months old, and suffers from terrible seizures. Yesterday he almost died – again. She is currently fighting with the province of British Colombia to send her son down to Seattle for the necessary genetic testing he requires, but the province is balking at the cost.
Our lives mean nothing here.
And the lefturds here in the states want a system just like this. Sad indeed in all aspects. I should think the family should bring charges against Douglas. Just to see what happens. It would be a shock to him and the rest of the NDP and Liberal Party, I would think.

We the freedom loving people of the planet Earth need to throw the scum out of the offices that we put them into and replace them with truck drivers, prostitutes, and bartenders. You know, people who have some common sense, know how to run a business, and communicate with others.
The professions and the skills mentioned are in no particular order of association……just the order in which they popped in to this old fart’s brain. Peace be with you always!
