Amerifag wanting to gtfo Anonymous
So I'm in med school and once I finish I want to leave the US and go to Canada mostly because
-Canada has better social programs
-Doctors don't have to do insurance paperwork all day
-Canada is less dense in population
-Blind American consumerism is getting old

Can any Canadians give me some insight?

If you're going to be a doctor, Amerifail is place to make big bucks. Although if you want to be a moralfag, come to Canada and get paid for treating people, not denying them.

canadian doctors are pretty much similar to americans.. a few are gems and the rest are not. the downside to socialized health here is that doctors have extremely long waiting lists and it is not relevant to how good a doctor actually is. (the provincial govts did not fund enough places in medical school for the population)

Well yea, most of that stuff is true, just stay away from Ontario and Alberta because they are just as bad or even worse than the usa.

And lol at people who say our healthcare has long waiting periods. If you go to outpaitents anywhere of course you have to wait, but if you get a doctor you will be able to go whenever you want easily. Only retards dont get their own doctor and go to outpaitents for anything but serious accidents.

i agree with>>33040. Ontario is really bad, but they'll take you no problem, and you won't have a shortage of patients, that's for sure, and you get paid whether you treat them, or you tell them "You're not sick, go exercise you fat bastard". If you're interested in Ontario, do not go near metropolitan areas, get a small 50k-300k person town and they're pretty nice. Completely avoid Toronto, but Ottawa is nice. Try sticking away from the Detroit-Windsor-Toronto line, as there is lotsa air pollution there.

Alberta, NewFoundland and BC are growing fast, you might want to take a look there.

Fuck yeah, Canada is awesome.

One of the few countries that have managed to escape from the wave of Big Brother surveillance and increasing government control.

> Blind American consumerism

It has at the very least a cousin in Canada. They aren't killing themselves on subprime mortgages, but it isn't like the malls are any less busy.

Why does this image persist? Is it just because Canadians criticize us all the time so we simply assume they do different?

Ontario is fine, it's vastly different from the US in terms of social care, housing, etc

In fact David Miller (mayor of Toronto) wants to ban all guns in the city, besides the obvious expect ions of course

>The Constitution of Greece recognizes the rights of privacy and secrecy of communications. Article 9 states: "(1) Every person's home is a sanctuary. The private and family life of the individual is inviolable. No home search shall be made, except when and as specified by law and always in the presence of representatives of the judicial power. (2) Violators of the preceding provision shall be punished for violating the home's asylum and for abuse of power, and shall be liable for full damages to the sufferer, as specified by law."

>A Constitutional amendment in 2001 added a new provision to this article granting individuals a direct right to protection of their personal information. The new provision, Article 9A, states: "All persons have the right to be protected from the collection, processing and use, especially by electronic means, of their personal data, as specified by law. The protection of personal data is ensured by an independent authority, which is established and operates as specified by law."

>Article 19 of the Constitution protects the privacy of communications. It states: "Secrecy of letters and all other forms of free correspondence or communication shall be absolutely inviolable. The guaranties under which the judicial authority shall not be bound by this secrecy for reasons of national security or for the purpose of investigating especially serious crimes, shall be specified under law." The 2001 amendment, in addition to adding two new provisions to this article, establishes an independent authority, to supervise matters relating to telecommunications.

Canada isn't much different than the US, and they certainly won't approve of your AmeriKKKunt ass.

Take this test before deciding if you want to come to Canada: http://www.visabureau.com/canada/points-test.aspx

If you score less than 67, don’t bother coming. We’ve got enough whiny American abandoners here as it is.

Canada has most of the bad things of America... Just less of it. But it is a vast country with a great landscape and friendly people, except Toronto - they think that Canada = Toronto.

The dense populated areas of Canada still have a good amount of assholes and retards just like dense areas in the states - think Vancouver/Edmonton/Toronto, but usually places on the outskirts of these areas are full of good people.

Canada is basically like a much more laid back America, overall.

yes, it's full of whiney trendster hipster cunts, but it's still worth swinging through. We have some nice parks, cheap food, and Kensington Market's always worth a look.

On that note, after living here for 27 years, I'd like to gtfo to BC, but yeah, you can still have fun here swinging through for a weekend, just pick up one of the local free newspapers (they're damn near everywhere, get put on the corners late wednesday night) and find something fun to do.
