OpenAI demanded I prove my age in November 2025. I’m an educated 50 year old and had been paying for the service for over a year.
When they insisted I prove my age I went through two layers of support but got nowhere. They insisted I go through their verification process.
I refused and cancelled my subscription.
This may be a losing battle but I’m not going to upload a photo to these services.
This is not my experience in Canada. It is not the experience of anyone I know.
There are often long wait times in ERs for things that are non urgent. I waited 5 or 6 hours my last visit after initial assessment.
I’ve known a few people that had life threatening cancers here: they were treated quickly, and compassionately by the health care system.
There are bad wait times for some things: a hearing assessment took 6 months (there are private options for this but many people would rather wait - they trust the system more). There is a shortage of family doctors. Medications are not fully covered.
But I promise you we have no death pods in our hospitals. If you get hit by a car, diagnosed with cancer, need an X-ray, a breathing test, etc. You get that care.
It’s nowhere near perfect, but I’m thankful for it and most people I know feel similarly.
这可靠地引发了他们声称想要避免的反应——感觉是为了让打电话的人感到愤怒。
