OT: Did we just win?

Nope, sorry, not according to your government. They blame lifestyles and, curiously, implicate welfare:

~~~~~~~ "There are many factors that can affect a person's health: geography, socio-economic circumstances, health behaviours, and interactions among the three. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Canadian communities with the lowest life expectancies are in the most northern and isolated parts of Canada, and are also characterized by low incomes and a high proportion of the population receiving government transfer payments. Smoking, heavy drinking and high mortality rates due to suicides and accidents are also prevalent in these health regions."[1] ~~~~~~~

So, lifestyles *do* explain the difference.

If healthcare is so vital to longevity, yet so unaffordable, consider the Amish in the USA: they have big families, little money, and pay for their own healthcare out of their own pockets. They have no healthcare plan at all, yet have exactly the same life expectancy as everyone else.[2]

But, then, those are just facts--don't let them influence you.

Best, James Arthur

I once fell in love with a lady lawyer from Juneau Alaska, and spent some time up there. It's dark, wet, gloomy and cold, and people have two main sources of entertainment, going to a bar and drinking, or staying home and drinking. Last time I saw her was in a volcano crater on Maui, but that's another story.

...and I'm worried about Canada! Hell, 90% of our electricity and

100% of our gas comes from Quebec. You don't think I'm scared?

What? Nicaragua's oil fields have totally failed under the commie? (thats a rhetorical, son).

What scares me is that a lot of our electricity is "nucular" ;-) About 60 miles west of Phoenix.

So what do I read in yesterday's newspaper? A new housing development is going in within 4 miles of the reactors :-(

Why the :-( ? Boiling-water commercial nukes aren't dangerous. I'd rather live near one than near a coal-fired plant, or worse a diesel bus or truck yard.

In the usual style, people will move in, then bitch that there's a nuclear plant there.

Same thing happened with Sun City... beef feed lots... there for 50 years. They build Sun City, then successfully shut down the feed lots.

Tell them that if the plant is shut down, there is no other source of electricity for their homes. Kind of like when a Florida newspaper was crusading against a new HV transmission line, then they discovered that their printing plant was to be powered from that new line. If the line wasn't built, there would be mandatory reductions in electric usage for businesses, including their big printing presses. They dropped the whole issue, after that.

Why do you think they built Sun City in the first place? Not to mention the nice profits on the first development. Then they get the feed lot land at bargain price afterward. Just good old repugnican capitalism.

Except that AZ is pretty much a Democrat state except for national offices.

That fact must just really kill your sense of well being. Why do you stay there ??

Was it the Democrats there that make you hate so much ??

Inquiring minds want to know.

AZ Democrats are generally conservative. Our present governor isn't. She got there leap-frogging from the AG position. But she's basically dead in the water, a figure head.
