Failure of Lefty Health, Migration Policies in Canada, Sweden Are a Warning to American Left

On HBO’s “Real Time” broadcast Friday, host Bill Maher said people on the left should learn from other countries, including looking at failed left-wing policies in Canada and Sweden. Stated.

Maher began by saying, “If we want to save our country, we must follow the advice good liberals have given us over the decades and follow the progressive path of other countries, especially Canada, the United Kingdom, and Scandinavia.” We should learn from other countries.” And I agree that we should, as long as we’re honest about the lessons we’ve learned and keep up to date with current data such as: The unemployment rate in the United States is 3.8%, and in Canada, 6.1. Of the 15 North American cities with the worst air pollution, 14 are in Canada. These statistics are from Canada, so I won’t quote them. I love Canada and its people and always will. But I hate zombie lies. That’s when things change, but what people say about them doesn’t change. Yes, for decades, places like Vancouver, Amsterdam, and Stockholm seemed idyllic because everything was free and all the energy they needed was produced by riding their bikes to work at windmills. In Canada, all the precious goals of liberalism worked perfectly. It was as if he had NPR come to life…a giant, idealized blue state with single-payer health care, gun control, and abortion on polite request. Canada was the place that every white college student who had endured America’s racist patriarchy, waking up and wearing pajama pants outside, dreamed of living one day. I mean, besides Gaza. ”

“There’s just one problem with thinking that everything is better in Canada: It’s not like that anymore, anyway.” Last year. Canada adds 1.3 million peopleThat’s a lot in one year, equivalent to the United States adding 11 million immigrants in one year. And now they’re facing an even worse housing crisis than we are, and we’re sleeping in tents. …and because of the mortgage debt, Canada’s debt-to-GDP ratio is the highest among G7 countries. I don’t know what that means, but it sounds bad. The same goes for their vaunted medical system. who died last Among high-income countries, people have access to primary health care and can see a doctor within 1-2 days. Of the 30 countries with universal health care, it’s not because of a lack of spending. Canada spends over 13% of its economy in Canada, free medical care costs a lot of money. …And to be honest again, Canada, I’m not saying this because I’m having fun, no, it’s because I’ve always had fun with you guys. But I have to quote you as a lesson to help my country. And the moral of the story is, yes, if you go too far to the left, you end up pushing the people in the center to the right. ”
