Founding Fathers: "Let's create a country with no king, but give the President the power to pardon -- just like a king."

Umm, sure, that makes total sense.

Every day is one small step closer... :)

A better strategy is challenging his points, one-by-one. Labels are a sloppy way of avoiding that.

Speaking from the Canadian experience, and in answer to your questions:

1) The biggest hospital "chains" serve the public just like all the rest.
2) No, they don't opt out. They can't.
3) In Canada, the provinces "run" healthcare.
4) Yes, I'm ok with having to see my GP before a specialist.

A perfectly valid point.

And also the reason why Congress should focus on addressing the myriad of stupid laws (or lack of laws) that Trump has so masterfully exploited, and which paved the way for his rise to power.

Will they? I highly doubt it.

If the choice is between:

a) a slightly shorter life, or

A REAL country would have -- decades ago -- built a high-speed rail line from Windsor to Quebec City. Instead, Canada is ruled and operated at the behest of oil conglomerates who know that such a rail line would be bad for (their) business.

I smell a civil lawsuit on the horizon...

Denmark deserves better. For that matter, the entire world deserves better than that douchebag of a POTUS.

Could also be PP's superpower: making people want to distance themselves from him.

Methinks thou dost overestimate their intelligence.

PP seems to have a natural gift for motivating people to get away from him.

Our gloomy future will include not JUST a 50cm (20") rise in average sea levels but also locks in CENTURIES of additional rise from melting ice sheets. This alone will be utterly devastating to future generations.

Neither the Liberals nor the Conservatives are working to achieve any meaningful action on the climate file. Both seem oblivious to the fact that the world is on track to blowing past a 2ºC rise in a average temperature -- which puts us humans on track for a very gloomy future.

Spotify is taking its customers for granted. Not a good strategy.

As reported by the BBC, "It also allows the department to withhold files that involve active criminal investigations or raise privacy concerns."

In other words, don't expect much from this.
