Found one for Employment Insurance in Canada … works out to less than 1% for 2017-18.

Public accounts documents released this month list more than 104,000 incidents of fraudulent EI claims totalling almost $177 million in the 2017-18 fiscal year.

EI spending between April 2017 and March 2018 topped $19.7 billion. The value of fraudulent claims amounted to less than one per cent of total spending.

Sorry, I can’t even remember what kind of program it was for. My ADHD just picked up on the number and logged it into my brain without a reference point.

Gimme a bit and I’ll see if I can find it.

Yup. Afaik those numbers run across the board, although I have seen an insanely low number for one Ontario social program a few years back (like 0.68% found to be scamming).

I probably should be as well, but I just don’t have the fight left in me anymore.

Maybe someone can explain to me why it’s easier to fight for someone else vs ourselves, 'cause it’s gd annoying as hell.

Problem is the rules aren’t enforced on everyone. Just us peons face the full extent of them.

The last residential school didn’t close until 1997.

My guess (if Trudeau is ousted) is Mark Carney.

Canadians know him well and respect him a lot. He could be the only choice at this point.

You assume that the article you referenced in your original post is the final say on type 2 diabetes.

I would recommend you do some more research on the subject.

From the Mayo Clinic

Factors that may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes include:

• Weight. Being overweight or obese is a main risk.
• Fat distribution. Storing fat mainly in the abdomen — rather than the hips and thighs — indicates a greater risk. The risk of type 2 diabetes is higher in men with a waist circumference above 40 inches (101.6 centimeters) and in women with a waist measurement above 35 inches (88.9 centimeters).
• Inactivity. The less active a person is, the greater the risk. Physical activity helps control weight, uses up glucose as energy and makes cells more sensitive to insulin.
• Family history. An individual’s risk of type 2 diabetes increases if a parent or sibling has type 2 diabetes.
• Race and ethnicity. Although it’s unclear why, people of certain races and ethnicities — including Black, Hispanic, Native American and Asian people, and Pacific Islanders — are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than white people are.
• Blood lipid levels. An increased risk is associated with low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol — the “good” cholesterol — and high levels of triglycerides.
• Age. The risk of type 2 diabetes increases with age, especially after age 35.
• Prediabetes. Prediabetes is a condition in which the blood sugar level is higher than normal, but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Left untreated, prediabetes often progresses to type 2 diabetes.
• Pregnancy-related risks. The risk of developing type 2 diabetes is higher in people who had gestational diabetes when they were pregnant and in those who gave birth to a baby weighing more than 9 pounds (4 kilograms).
• Polycystic ovary syndrome. Having polycystic ovary syndrome — a condition characterized by irregular menstrual periods, excess hair growth and obesity — increases the risk of diabetes.

That disheveled asshole you had in charge wouldn’t be capable of caring if his life depended on it.

The preponderance of shitty world leaders (over the last 40 years or so) is fucking depressing. :/

No direct punishment I can find. Some of the churches have offered apologies and some have been sued.

According to charging documents, Mr Macartney, who lives in the US state of Virginia, is accused by prosecutors of collecting funds from his chat groups and distributing videos depicting the “torture, murder, and sexually sadistic mutilation of animals, specifically juvenile and adult monkeys”.

My guess is they heard about the money monkey-killer dude was raking in and thought they try the same.

Fucking assholes.

You said …

But I’m on the fence with type 2, since it’s a completely preventable, and reversible lifestyle illness that only requires patient education and accountability.

Someone refusing to look after their own health shouldn’t be a burden on the healthcare system or taxpayers, IMO.

I didn’t ‘misinterpret’ anything. You blamed people for having type 2 diabetes, added a quote you took out of context, and generally alluded to the assumption that anyone with type 2 diabetes should be left to their own devices.

So a bit more info on this … if you look up the average of the demographic that tries to game a system it usually sits somewhere between 2-5%. Unfortunately the powers that be have decided that even tho 95-98% of people follow the rules, everyone has to be vetted (and often denied) so the ‘bad’ ones can be filtered out.

Untold b/trillions are spent doing this, far surpassing what it would cost to just have basic vetting where people in need would be able to access funds/services within 30 days.

Edit to add – This is ONLY good for individuals. All corporate entities should be held to a minimum wait of 6 months to be completely vetted.

Yup. There is little difference in Canada (except for universal healthcare, which is decimated across the board rn).

Adding Blaine Higgs (NB), Scott Moe (Saskabush) and Danielle Smith (Hellberta) to that list as well.

Honestly, if they were that far ahead they wouldn’t be going nuts with the voter removal bullshit.

The orange asshole is scared he may not win, so is hedging his bets by having Black, Brown, unhoused and poor people removed (this list is who often doesn’t have so-called ‘proper ID’).
