Down by the River Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The thing that weirds me out is why they came to Canada for the procedure, and are Canadian citizens sitting on some waiting list because of it?

Has this already been answered? Why not? Alot of people travel to other countries for treatment depending on where the best doctors/treatments are. Why is it weird they came to Vancouver for treatment? Maybe they were referred to by their doctor in UK? I doubt Canadian citizens are sitting on some waiting list, its not like they're waltzing in and using up Public Heathcare for this, they're paying for the treatment procedure.

Maybe emotionally charged ones. Especially since you didn't even know what that was suppose to mean - and you said it. Mods might consider that trolling; they have before. I am rarely baited by such things however. Anyway, don't be a dick, fellow baby eater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is hard to believe that the UK doesn't have equal or better treatment providers. Do you really believe that Vancouver was the ideal destination and that they couldn't obtain treatment in one of: London, Paris, New York, Toronto? All of these destinations are much closer and on the face of it, more likely to have better experts. I'm not saying that they don't have a right to come to Vancouver to get a procedure, I'm just saying that most reasonable people would find it odd that they would come here instead of a more convenient location.

They found this stuff out through the media just like us (they're not even from here) and notified the police within, what, 24 hours of it being leaked? Again, they are decent people just trying to do the right thing as opposed to the media scumbags and the scumbags who jumped to conclusions.

Why is this so hard to understand? A curious circumstance exists, and I'd like to have an answer. In no way am I calling these individuals terrorists, I just think that addressing pretty simple questions would alleviate concerns that some people are clearly showing.

Yeah but you're putting the onus on them to explain themselves because you feel uncomfortable. You're making your issue their problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're making your issue their problem. It's not 'my issue'. I have no issue. They can go about their business and I don't have any worries whatsoever. If I'm in a room asking those three my question and they tell me that it is a medical issue and therefore none of my business, fine. However, I'm not going to feel guilty for asking a reasonable question that would help put the story to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chon derry Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 i thought that at first ,and there is a little responsibility on there part but as was pointed out to me it was the media with the leaked memo.perfect storm for all partys in the wrong somewhat 4 minutes ago, Apple Juice said: I guess they never really did apologize for causing such distress amongst the people of Vancouver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be the cost, same reason you'll see some Canadians go to Mexico or other third world countries for a procedure which would cost more here. $$$$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Goblin Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Vancitybuzz released confidential information that was currently in the hands of the police. I guess the key thing here is dertimining how Vancitybuzz got access to such information. Did they hack the mall surveillance videos? Or did they get it straight from the VPD evidence room?
