  1. Going up two weight classes in one offseason would be a tall task but I think Swiderski definitely has the frame to fill into 157 eventually. He is pretty long limbed.
  2. I'm not saying that America's system is good - just that Canada's should not be held up as the signing star. I would like to have a full private, non insurance bases system where you can shop around for the best price and you know exactly what you are going to pay up front. In fact there is a hospital in I believe Oklahoma City that does just that.
  3. It is not free, its paid for in their taxes. It's not accessible - it takes half a year to move from primary appointment to appointment with a specialist. What is the point of a "free" health care system if it's not accessible?
  4. Are you accusing me of making my information up? You are something else... They are waiting half a year on average between referral from GP doc to appointment with specialist. "Canada's healthcare system, called Medicare, was once the country's pride and joy. But as the program enters its seventh decade, public opinion is starting to turn. Just over half of Canadians said they were satisfied with their healthcare system in 2022, down from nearly 70% in 2020. It's easy to see why. Waits are interminable. In 2022, Canadian patients waited a median 27.4 weeks between referral from a general practitioner and receipt of treatment from a specialist, according to the Fraser Institute, a Vancouver think tank. That's nearly two weeks longer than the median wait time in 2021—and almost triple the 9.3 weeks Canadians waited on average in 1993. And since private health insurance is illegal for care the government deems medically necessary, patients can't pay a premium to escape the queue." https://www.forbes.com/sites/sallypipes/2023/01/17/close-the-border-to-canadian-health-care/?sh=674849b971bd
  5. I will be praying for you and your family. Pray that God's grace & peace is manifested on you all. God bless 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 KJV "9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."
  6. Yes that’s true. One is private and one is govt. Goes to show that unions also suck though (another dem stronghold)
  7. I have Canadian friends and they hate the heath care system. Simple follow up procedures from check ups take months to get scheduled in. The govt is not effective at running things.
  8. Another good reason to crap on Canada is that they encourage their own citizens to consider euthanizing themselves if they are down on their luck.
  9. US dairy’s actually have done this too. They are a part of a dairy union and when they were over producing, rather than drop the price of a gallon of milk, they dumped to “protect the price” and the union paid for it.
  10. Yeah, proven that it is not effective - particularly for young people. The risk/reward for those under 50 (and even more so under 35) is lopsided in the favor of no vaccine.
  11. Elon provides a platform for a Tucker Carlson - Trump interview and he is being charged with hiring discrimination the next day... Sounds about right.
  12. Looks like a ton of republican run cities..... LOL
  13. If that were the case you would have more undersized 125 pounders succeeding than undersized heavyweights - which is not the case. Last year a 220 pound Payton Pitzer beat a full sized heavyweight AA in Cohlton Shultz as a recent example.
  14. Sounds like “These rich men north of Richmond, Lord knows they all just wanna have total control” to me.
  15. “Vaccinate the world” on the USA White House page sounds like some one world government type of baloney. Continue to line the pockets of big pharma by pushing the clot shot.
  16. Seems like we all have been doing fine without having the clot shot mandated.
  17. We need to get this administration out of office as soon as possible. https://www.whitehouse.gov/covidplan/
  18. I don’t see Rhodes beating Swafford out for 184.

  20. Nevermind, I just watched a video on it. That thing was impressive! 220 yards is about the equivalent of 10 rock trucks in a single bucket. Crazy. Video below for inquiring minds.
