It is ridiculous!!

• I agree with the above comment, the situation in Canada is ridiculous. My husband and I have lived in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and now here and this is by far the worst we've experienced. By the time, if you're lucky, you do see a doctor any specialists etc you might need to see will be many many more months of wait-times. My husband and I realized very quickly that if either of us were to ever become seriously ill we would need to leave Canada to obtain prompt medical care elsewhere. Thankfully as citizens of elsewhere we still have this option, whereas my guess is many Canadians sadly don't.
  
  I'm also appalled with how Canada is run in general. It would seem that no matter how hard you work, very little will ever be achieved. Most of your earnings will end up right back with the government as I don't think either of us has ever experienced quite as many taxes and regulations as there are here. From our short experience in this country it would appear that life, if we stayed, will always be a struggle until of course we died of some misdiagnosed disease without medical care and probably in a run-down under-staffed emergency room. It seems to me that Canadians who have never lived in another country must put up with this nightmare because they don't know any better. Otherwise what else can explain them all staying and putting up with this?? There are third world countries with better quality of life than Canada!
  
  I'm sad to say our experience here has meant we will be moving south of the border as soon we have our US employment sorted out. Because, while healthcare might seem more expensive in the US, the taxes in Canada mean its ultimately far more costly to work and live here (the wages are insanely low in Canada) and at least in the states you can find a doctor. You can also find sun and a beach!!
