WINNIPEG, MB

Local woman Mrs. Dueck, 57, of North Kildonan has racked up more than $15,000 over the past couple years in quackery bills and says it’s time the provincial government covers the cost.

“They cover scientifically-tested procedures for patients with legitimate health concerns, so why not cover my quackery bills as well,” said Mrs. Dueck. “Just because I’ve been duped by some quack, doesn’t mean I should have to pay for it.”

Mrs. Dueck has had a long-standing relationship with her local quack, who has treated her for a wide range of ailments that all seem to recur shortly after a successful treatment.

“Who is to say the treatments I’m receiving in some hairy Mennonite guy’s garage aren’t every bit as legitimate as those provided by a physician in a hospital?” said Mrs. Dueck.
