It Strikes Me Funny: Canadian lifestyle is a hard-hearted killer

Few people would be surprised that the Canadian diet is a killer.

For example:

Wendy’s new Baconator sounds like Terminator and can strike down strong men.


Did you know, however, our air can do the same?

It’s so bad it should come with a warning label:

“Breathe something else.”

Or maybe a bumper sticker:

“If you breathe this you’re too close and you’ll soon be dead.”

It’s so bad everyone should read news about the latest Canadian Medical Association report that tells how bad it is.


Here are some lowlights:

“a cumulative death toll of 800,000 Canadians by 2031”

“smog will also drain billions of dollars from Canada’s economy and health-care system in medical costs and lost productivity”

[Is it any wonder major corporations don’t want to support health care? It would cost too much to take responsibility for their actions.]

So, right off the top we’ve got death and drainage problems.

There’s more:

“the vast majority of smog-related deaths will be seniors aged 65 and older because they are more vulnerable to heart problems”

Hey, I’m good. Still in my fifties.

But there’s more.

Stay tuned.
