Dying Canadian stranded in Mexico

Freeman wrote:While it is sad that this young mother passed at such an early age and the circumstances make it even more tragic, but I fail to understand how anyone can have any thought that government should be involved financially in her repatriation, either in life or death. We seem to value our frredom of choice to take a vacation in Mexico or wherever else in the world we can afford, but suddenly someone else should pay to bring us home if we fall ill or die. Certainly consular officials should assist in handling the bureacracy and provide information and options, but the costs are our own, not to be borne by the taxpayers.

If my car breaks down in Minneapolis, should I expect Harper to come down and bring me home? Its about the same analogy.

We're all turning into Commie Bastards.
