At least 15,000 Canadians died in a single year while waiting for their “free” government healthcare, some of them having been on the waiting list for more than 14 years, according to a new report from Saskatchewan-based think tank SecondStreet.org.
In a January 15 press release, SecondStreet.org legislative and policy director Harrison Fleming said:
Canadians pay really high taxes and yet our health care system is failing when compared to better-performing universal systems in Europe. Thousands of Canadians across the country find themselves on waitlists — in some cases for several years — with too many tragically dying before ever getting treated, or even diagnosed.
Wait Loss
SecondStreet.org filed Freedom of Information requests with various provincial healthcare bodies, seeking data on patients who had died while awaiting treatment between April 1, 2023, and March 31, 2024.
From the responses it received, the group was able to determine that “at least 15,474 patients died in Canada while waiting for surgeries or diagnostic scans.”
However, that count is based on data from “only 12 health bodies in seven provinces (representing 62% of the population),” and some of those only provided data indicating patients who died while awaiting surgery but not those who died while awaiting diagnostic scans. Extrapolating from the available data, SecondStreet.org estimated that 28,077 patients died in the government’s healthcare queue. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
