Dictator Trudeau suffers a setback, NYC sells discount ventilators, plus: my supermarket haiku!
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in a meeting with premiers, announced that the Canadian federal government is prepared to spend $196.1 billion over the next 10 years to cover health care, an additional $46.2 billion to the existing budget. However, in order to access any benefits of the system, Canadians will have to give up more of their private medical data.
More recently, he was rebuked:
All 12 premiers in Canada have signed a joint letter saying that their territories and provinces will not be sharing healthcare data with the federal government.
Taxpayers paid $12 million for the ventilators. A junk dealer from Long Island just picked up the entire 500,000-pound kit and kaboodle — for only $24,600. It took the dealer 28 truckloads to cart the stuff away.

I recently posted about my poetry exploits and a few folks requested some of my verses. For starters, here’s a silly group of haiku I wrote in 2011:
red chard apathy
fuels the anger of collard
green community
asparagus would
be offended but it can't
recognize insults
bok choy quietly
observes the debate without
a hint of rancor
succulent chinese
apple too busy with its
flavor to notice
(more poems to come soon!)
“Nick Benson, defended the agency’s actions at a time of crisis, calling the early days of the pandemic a dark and difficult time for all New Yorkers”
Let’s never forget this was and still is (thanks a million Brandon”) a manufactured crisis that everyone will keep paying for in so many ways for years to come. Hopefully in our lifetime we’ll see the criminals who misled us brought to justice. They bilked the people for trillions in addition to stealing our health, friendships and other things we treasure. A major league payback is in order.
Those ventilators are evidence in a mass murder. No wonder they are got rid of them so cheap.
