Seattle–The personal ad begins as they all do.

She tells a bit about herself, describes a bit about the man she wants to meet, the usual quirky bit about not minding baldness and then the kicker: Only Canadians need apply.

For nine years she has fought breast cancer and the slow decline of her bones and body. There are times when she feels fine, but always pressing against her is the fight she cannot win. Her life savings are draining away as she pays higher and higher medical bills.

Marrying a Canadian won't cure her of her cancer, but it will solve one looming problem among a host of many. She will have medical insurance and access to health care.

"The "last hope" insurance she has costs $800 a month. It covers her treatments, which total $300,000 a year – a burden she will have to bear once her insurance runs out in less than three years.

She's had 2 offers so far.

Why can't a country that spends trillions on war machines, take care of their sick and needy ?

A viscious cycle as history shows...

Keep the economic ball rolling I guess, by allowing someone to die, so that another might take it's tax paying place.

Quite sad actually.

I recommend everybody in America with breast cancer to head for
Canada, while you have a dime in the pocket. The real question
is there Canadians who will marry American women with cancer?

She 's had two offers. She went up to Vancouver to meet one man, no chemistry. Another offer came from a student in Toronto.
