    Them having a contract with them at this late date makes zero sense. Fuck private health care, but even if you wanted a private Canadian alternative, DynaLife is literally headquartered in Edmonton.

    This is such a teachable “leopards ate my face” moment for all Canadians.

    Be Canada

    Want to save money on healthcare

    Agree to sell private firm to Americans

    Get worse healthcare

    Independence is reduced

    Americans turn on you

    Same thing is happening with the CBC right now, but nobody understands what’s at stake!!

    Be Canada

    Want to save some money by not funding CBC, private media

    Almost all conservative newspapers already owned by Americans

    Agree to shut CBC down/defund/whatever

    Americans start absolutely hammering us with propaganda

    Have not a single way to defend ourselves

    Not a single source of journalistic integrity left in Canada

        Yeah good point. Local news too; Vancouver’s local news are all US-owned private, same with radio

    Replacing Lifelabs is easier said than done. The lab needs to be in a location where the sensitive testing machines can operate. The machines need to be imported. There’s a lot of hurdles to overcome just to start
