So very true. Here in Canada the government decided that healthcare should be a government run enterprise so no one would ever be denied healthcare. Such noble beginnings now has the government encouraging doctors to euthanize their patients rather than engage in costly treatments. A young vet suffering from PTSD induced depression was encouraged to avail himself of Medical Assistance In Dying. IOW medical assisted suicide.

@hippyjoe1955 Central Bank Digital Currency anyone? Trudeau has already used this concept when shutting down bank accounts of the truckers protesting COVID policy.

@irishmolly72 You are correct. Digital currency is a foolish idea. Not long ago the Rogers network went down and banking/electronic payments were severely impacted.
