The operation could kill you or save your life. If she did not have it she would die anyway
But she lives
Let’s not pick on doctors
The story and post is about guns not doctors. I am thankful for doctors when I need them
The 30,000 statistic is misleading. And the unnecessary worry about legal guns is ridiculous That is why I posted the Sun article

I did say it [with tongue in cheek] , did you not see that ?
However I do find it being hypocritical of them, [some of them].
After all it is doctors, getting together and trying to force the gov. re. the ban on , [the issue, is guns ]

Yeah some doctors. Just like some cops
I know cops and doctors who hunt and have guns and think our gun control laws are fine

To add some fuel; Lets remember that the Opiod crisis finds it roots in Dr's over prescribing Oxy...
In a county-by-county analysis, they found that when drug companies increased their opioid marketing budgets by just $5.29 per 1,000 population, the number of opioid prescriptions written by doctors went up by 82 percent and the opioid death rate was 9 percent higher a year later.
“It really doesn’t take much marketing to increase the number of deaths,” lead author Dr. Scott Hadland, a pediatrician and researcher at Boston Medical Center’s Grayken Center for Addiction, told Reuters Health by phone.
Nearly 4,000 Canadians die this year because of opioid-related deaths. Seventy-two per cent of these deaths involved fentanyl or fentanyl analogues. This is a 34 per cent jump from the death rates the year before. British Columbia experiences the highest rate, with 1,399 opioid-related deaths in 2017, compared to 974 in 2016.
The 2017 Canada Guideline for Opioids for Chronic Non-Cancer Pain is made, shedding light on physicians overprescribing opiates, with an aim to promote awareness to reduce over prescriptions of the drug.
Think about that,...72% were from illegal drugs....that means almost 30% were related to the legal prescription drugs...
That's a heck of a lot more than Gun violence deaths in this country....

You can also look at the overdose all together in the bc area. 1399 deaths is only a small percentage that died. I remember hearing somewhere that like 10 percent of the 911 calls in Canada come from the overdose calls alone in bc . It could be more on that 10 percent, that's why the clinics are giving them legal heroin in Vancouver. Medical grade so they wont overdose and keep it safe the place is packed up like the local Walmart lol.
Not a good thing at all.

Well this latest shooting in Toronto at the Raptor Parade doesn't help.
My opinion screw arresting and the courts. The cops know who these people are go in take them out for good.

I might sound silly, but I wonder if they ban Gangs they'd have a better chance to stop gun violence
Anybody in the Liberal party suggest that to Bill Blair or would that infringe on their rights (carding) ?
I know I'm carded which will make it easier for them to take my guns away ..HaHa..

The cops won't deal with gangs, that could be dangerous. Take the guns away from law abiding citizens instead.

Heard on 680 news this morning that Bill Blair said there will be no legislation until after the next election.

Read..the Liberals don't want to risk bleeding anymore votes...
When it comes to so-called assault weapons, the term is generally used to refer to firearms that are at least semi-automatic, can fire large amounts of ammunition and are designed for rapid fire.
Blair said there are a number of outstanding issues that still need to be addressed when it comes to how any ban, new safe-storage rules or municipal restrictions could work, but the minister said that work will not be done before the election.
The House of Commons is set to rise for the summer at the end of the week and will not return until after Canadians go to the polls.
“In order to consider putting additional weapons on the prohibited list, and then how we remove those weapons from society — whether they’re grandfathered or subject to a buyback — I think that merits careful consideration and discussion in Parliament,” he said.
“There’s no time to do that in the current session.”
