Selling Canada to the Life-Worn and Weary

Image

Come to Canada! A country with more

than its share of natural beauty in its lakes

and rivers, mountains and forests. Not to

discount the richness of its natural resources.

Natural resources the envy of the world but

no richness must befall the nation since its

prime minister insists that oil and gas must

remain in situ. Food is plentiful in this country.

It is, indeed, one of few nations that sends out

copious levels of grains and seeds to a hungry

world. Alas, it will become scarcer since its

prime minister sees relevance in abstaining from

the use of fertilizer lest the environment object.

Canada's universal medicare, its livable cities

have suffered a setback for the lamentable lack 

of both physicians and affordable housing. Its

prime minister nonetheless graciously invites

the homeless and discontent of the world to come

and join its workforce. Mind, their visas will be

long in coming since illegal migrant applications

take precedence and the legal ones wait...and wait.

This land of wealth and opportunities also offers

solutions to ill health, unhappiness and poverty in

access to medical assistance to dying for the elderly,

sick, discontent, poor and mentally disturbed. If

on the other hand, opioid addiction rules and ruins

your life, solutions there are also available through

compassionate street clinics offering sterile needles

and medical-grade narcotics to wean one from a life

of degradation and hopelessness, yet another well

intentioned intervention leading to untimely death.
