Maybe for a vast majority of people the government should do this?:D JK'ing they don't do that here, no one in their right mind would get between a Canadian and his beer.

Brian I've met with our local compo officer in regards to my treework and it's all about industry accepted safe work practices, basically due dilligence. Compo will come out and look over jobsites and will fine people for doing stupid things. In my eleven years in the bush I was never on site...

That is exactly how our compo works, you get a discount for a clean record and it's all variable with time of no claims vs risk of job vs how much payroll you bill.

The onus falls entirely on the employer as to proper training and documentation of that training. Even with that(proper training and documentation) the employee is covered 100% no matter how stupid they were being. Here if you are hurt at work you are covered by compo(worksafe BC) and actually...

I am in no way trying to say that our system is perfect. But it struck me by reading the opening post that given the current situation set-up you guys have that someone may have to make a really hard decision if they are sick or ill. What I mean is say I found out I had some type of cancer and...

And I see Canada following that trend, I live in alot of debt myself. But as I've mentioned before I only indebt myself for things that are going to make money. Either way I'm in the game bigtime, and somedays I really wonder if it's all gonna be worth it or if I should just sell off and move...

Damn :( . Health care is the basics, without it you could die. No matter what people say down there about how hard we're taxed up here or this or that know this: A fellow I know who makes very little money, pays nothing for healthcare here, got hit by a car last night, he broke his leg a...
