  • I’m not sure there’s much to take advantage of. It’s mostly rich dicks paying to avoid lines which aren’t even that bad. There is not a “truly no choice” context in Calgary, since care is given based on need. Sure, go to the ER with a cut hand and you’ll wait 24 hours, but a community clinic will be able to have you in within an hour most of the time. I remember as a teen I was very sick and was waiting at the ER of the children’s and when my condition got worse, they immediately started taking care of me. It’s a myth that anybody is any danger as a result of waiting for care.




  • Co ops can have traditional chains of command, the only defining characteristic of a co op is ownership. There’s no reason why a leadership hierarchy and leader ownership must go hand in hand.

    A well-functioning co op can take in any worker irrespective of work ethic and provide them with the structure and support to develop into a valuable team member. The problem is that co ops, like anything aren’t guaranteed to function well.

    So no, a co op does not require all workers within in be fundamentally minded towards the business. A co op simply means that the ownership of the company and the labour force are one in the same. There are plenty of co op workers all over the world who just show up and do their job, they just also have a voice and must be considered differently as a result.
