Hilarious redo of some key Star Wars moments:
The one Canadian guy in the video above does the typically self-righteous Canadian thing by taking digs at US healthcare (yawn—and let's talk about treatment wait times for Canada's infirm; some of those numbers are fucking unbelievable*), but I just watched a video that shows that Canada has more than a few skeletons of its own in the closet, ranging from antisemitism to maltreatment of native populations to weird cults and superstitions to political shenanigans. And given what Trudeau did to Canada's truckers recently, Canadians really have no moral leg to stand on. They willingly live in police state.
Meanwhile, Marvel sucks:

*Direct quote from the above-linked source: "This year, Canadians could expect to wait 5.4 weeks for a computed tomography (CT) scan, 11.1 weeks for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, and 3.5 weeks for an ultrasound." That's insane. In Korea, treatment is immediate (except, ironically, right at the ER's doorstep: I was stroking out and had to wait several hours before being officially wheeled in), and in most of the US, treatment is quite rapid, too. 5 to 6 weeks for a CT? 11 weeks for an MRI? Are you joking? Do you know how much an exuberant tumor can grow in 5-11 weeks? In my one week in the hospital last year, I had a CT scan, an MRI, and a thoracic ultrasound. Total cost of all this was $3000 (including bed & food & physical therapy), which puts US healthcare to shame, but my point is this all happened way faster than it would have in slowpoke Canada. I can't necessarily vouch for the quality of Korean healthcare, but it's undeniably fast. Canada needs to wake up. Its healthcare system is not the envy of the world.
