    Access to private healthcare has been shot down because while someone’s individual rights might be impacted by having their access to timely and compassionate healthcare, the benefit is for the greater good.

    I have a hard time believing that the same courts that would say “You do not have the right to obtain timely healthcare in Canada, despite your ongoing pain and risk to your own health and wellbeing” would follow that up and say “…but what IS unacceptable is stopping heroin and coke dealing.”

    That said, we’ve gotten some pretty wild bleeding heart rulings from the courts recently, so who knows.
