For those of you who don't know, Canada is experiencing a healthcare crisis. Emergency rooms are being overrun as the government doesn't fund healthcare as much as it needs to. In this article was about a newborn having to wait in the ER for 8 hours before being seen. But something in the article caught my eye. Here is the quote -

"We as a nation are failing children, women, seniors, regular patients with this kind of situation," said Venugopal.

Notice that men who aren't old and don't have long-term health issues aren't included in his statement. Notice how this man suggests that men don't deserve healthcare and/or are not impacted by the healthcare crisis. And notice how the CBC (a government-funded news outlet) just casually includes this sort of dehumanizing misandry.

This is especially tasteless when this news outlet already published multiple articles on men dying waiting for care in Emergency rooms. For example:

Just an interesting little counter-example to the claim that men are privileged that I had the misfortune of coming across this morning.
