OTTAWA, Ont. — The Trudeau government wants it known that Canada is open to any Americans who may need to travel north to access an abortion.
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said Wednesday that he’s consulted the Canada Border Services Agency to ensure entry guidelines are clear, “so that women who may not be able to access health care including access to abortion are able to come to Canada.”
“If an American wanted a medical procedure, they could get one, they would just have to pay for it out of pocket,” Minister of Families, Children and Social Development Minister Karina Gould told reporters Wednesday on her way into a Liberal caucus meeting. “There’s no reason why we would turn anyone away to receive that procedure here.”
But the reality on the ground in Canada is far more complicated.
Anyone who travels north for health care will discover that the system is stretched and waiting lists are long for many types of medical care. Abortion services are no different.
“They’re going to be in for a little bit of a rude awakening in terms of the lack of access in this country,” Mohini Datta-Ray, executive director of Planned Parenthood Toronto, told POLITICO when asked about the prospect of an American influx.
In Canada’s big cities, where services are easier to find, landing an appointment — and quickly — is not always as simple.
“Wait lists are through the roof,” said Datta-Ray, whose organization has partnerships with clinics across the Toronto region.

Waitlists are through the roof here.

The situation in Ukraine is being used as a scapegoat for.our impending financial collapse.
As the markets and assets continue to dive, and the recession hits, the regime will dutifully blame the Russian war as the reason
It is a manufactured distraction

This admin is probably the worst in history.

It's OVER 5,000!
Ukraine has to be the highlight of Team Biden so far. I think they've been decent on it, and I can't think of literally anything else I would say that about.
