Canada has free universal health care. Well, as free as it can get, they pay for it out of income taxes and sales taxes. A longstanding Canadian tradition requires each citizen to
set aside that amount of money he or she would usually have to spend on medical insurance, and to use it to
help others in need. The "Sick's Fee" is the name assigned to that money, and by law it must be spent on, or given to, some other Canadian who is need of something, whether that be a new roof, clean beaver pelt clothing, maple syrup or an exhibit of Canadiana. The Sick's Fee is the "pay it forward" component in the Constitution. How does this cash get spent? Well, the finest examples of the art of making maple
tree taps has been gathered for display on a planned new
web site. "SicksFeeTapArt.ca" is just one more twisted and
bored Canadian's view of how to help his fellow man to survive COVID-
19. You can have
fun even if you are not Canadian. Just contribute
ONE photo which exemplifies any artistic creation that in some tiny, remote, humorous way refers to the word "
tap". Just
3 simple letters... but a world of untapped possibilities!
Where do YOU stand on this?... Sick'
s Fee
Tap Art? Yes or NO!?? Will you socially distance your self again today? or will you "Pull a Trump" and go spread your spit at the office on May 1?
If Bernie Sanders had not dropped out, might the USA once have adopted the tradition of the Sick's Fee? Would Americans
soon have been spending their sick's fee on each other? Would they say
Yes! to Sick's Fee
Tap Art? Or would they say "You can take your sick's fee to
hell" or "I'll show you where you can shove your sick's fee to!"
"I cannot stand Sick's Fee
Tap Art.... I have to be closer to see the whites of their eyes."
First they take your guns and then they want you... sick's fee
tap art!
Trump closed the Canadian border because he knows everyone in Canada likes sick's fee
tap art.
Until COVID-19 came along, even Google had never seen the phrase "sick's fee tap art" anywhere in the Interweb, now it has gone viral!
I believe
one Canadian's "sick's fee" to be another man's "two meters less 10%".
