So, nobody can do it in St. Johns or Mt. Pearl? OK, maybe not. I mean, it’s Newfoundland, for Cripes sake! But, still, no room at a Halifax or or Moncton hospital, eh? Nobody qualified to perform the procedure in Quebec, Montreal, [Ottawa] or Toronto?

How is it that the Canadian health care system is just fine for all the little people, but when a provincial premier hears the thump of mortality in his chest, it’s off to Cedars-Sinai, Sloan-Kettering, or Mayo?

‘S’funny how that works, huh?

But don’t worry. When we get our free health care down here in the US, everything will be tiddly.
