Theresa Tam is at it again

The latest from the Public Health Agency of Canada:

"We heard from the experts that solutions [to a healthy environment] must first involve addressing systemic issues (i.e., capitalism, colonialism, racism), which drive common inequitable outcomes for public health and nature."

Oh, God, these experts, again... So, now, capitalism is a systemic issue? No, it's not. It's definitely not an issue, and I wish it was systemic. Capitalism in Canada has been all but obliterated, buried under the mountain of government taxes, tarifs, rules, regulations, and restrictions. Far from being systemic, one needs to dig deep under the rubble of mal-investments, subsidies, taxation schemes, and political machinations of the central planners to find any remnants of something that vaguely resembles capitalism. And far from being an issue, it's actually our only salvation. Those little pebbles of capitalism are the only source of profit ("social value" for socialists) that allows us all (including socialists unfortunately) to live and prosper.

And then there's "inequitable outcomes for public health and nature". Best case scenario, this is a typo, because it if it isn't, it is pure evil any way you look at it. It could mean that nature should get the same outcomes as our public health system!?? Should we start performing surgeries on wild animals, or should we revert to healing ourselves by licking our wounds? Not clear... But it could also mean that we should strive for (violent shuddering) equitable outcomes in the health and the nature of the public!!! 😬😵‍💫
