Those Wacky Canadians
Amy Wang, reporting at WaPo:
Like a Charlie Chaplin film, modern-day surveillance videos can unspool a story without making a sound.
I especially liked the part at the beginning when the guy tries to make his escape by shoving his girlfriend at the cop. Quite the gentleman.
And in the case of an attempted criminal activity at a convenience store in Canada, footage from that incident tells . . . quite the tale.

The Healthcare Situation In Canuckistan
From The Denver Post.
Myth: Canada's health care system is a cumbersome bureaucracy.
The U.S. has the most bureaucratic health care system in the world. More than 31 percent of every dollar spent on health care in the U.S. goes to paperwork, overhead, CEO salaries, profits, etc. The provincial single-payer system in Canada operates with just a 1 percent overhead. Think about it. It is not necessary to spend a huge amount of money to decide who gets care and who doesn't when everybody is covered.
