    Do they rant and rave against Canada’s universal health care system while using it?

      Pretty much. They claim the system is inefficient and a US model would be better. Our healthcare is getting worse but it’s only because Conservative premiers are cutting funding left and right. It’s all very tiring

        Oh god. These people must be stopped. And I say that as a USA citizen that actually has excellent health care.

      Actually, the premiere of Alberta is trying to privatize the province’s healthcare. Just look up pretty much any Danielle Smith speech on health care, it is insane what she is attempting. I have come to the conclusion that Alberta is the Texas of Canada. They love the oil industry, hate the government, want to privatize everything, and even have their own half-hearted secession movement.

      For that matter, Alberta even toyed with replacing the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with their own local provincial police. I am American so I don’t entirely understand the situation, but it sounds about like if Texas decided to kick out the FBI and have the Texas Rangers take over FBI duties within the state.
