2 years, 8 months ago @Jessicab-u7c In Quebec if you went to the ER with a minor injury you could wait as long as 12-18 hours to be seen by a DR. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @jccarriere3719 I'm Canadian who worked & lived in North Carolina for 3 years. Glad to have come back to Toronto! 2 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @CartoonHero1986 Can confirm my sister is taking my niece to Disney this year and they invited me to go with them. No way am I spending that kind of time in the State of Florida if I don't have to. A couple of decades ago; sure. Now; no fricken way! 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @dougallen6978 Candian here just had a baby 2 years ago. Our out of pocket costs were about $30 for parking and we paid a $200 fee to upgrade to a private room for recovery. Of course its not free as my wife and I pay a significant portion of our income in taxes but I don't mind pitching in for the good of everybody. 2 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @Doug-h2z I have followed the US for years and visited many times. America is an exciting society but it is psychotic and does everything in excess. I suspect living in China or Russia would be a more dramatic psychotic experience. This psychotic aspect is a by product of each type of society given the inherent pressures at play, Americas is unique. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @wayneherron6511 The current primesinister and his regime of imps is making lots of us look south. But there are a lot of realities depending on where you are that make it not so great. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @missnicolerenee Hospital wait times in Canada are a nightmare because EVERYONE goes to the ER for EVERYTHING and ANYTHING. \n We don’t have “Urgent care clinics” like you have in the USA. \nWe have walk in clinics (basically just family physicians who don’t actually take on patients on a permanent basis and close by like 4pm \nYour kid has a cold - emergency room\nLittle scrape falling off a swing set - emergency room\nStung by a bee? - emergency room\n\nNo one has any idea how to care for themselves here. Can’t bring down a fever with Tylenol, can’t clean a wound that doesn’t require medical intervention, can’t do anything because we’ve been so coddled with “free medical care” 5 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @colleenwhite353 I like the US, but Canada is less complicated. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 8 months ago @stevew6741 And if you live in an area that has good hospitals then you're good. Try living in an area that has crappy healthcare facilities. It sucks ball-sacks! 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @Dale-e2u Guess a lot of people on here have no idea that Trudumb is part of WEF. And houses are ready to fall. BAD! 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @ViraIshnia Lol this reminds me of a story my brother in law told me and my sister when they were still dating. His class in high school had gone to New York for reasons that I no longer remember. He had set his camera down beside him just out of his peripheral vision for less than a minute and when he went to pick it back up, it was gone.\nFor a (possibly unfair) comparison, when I was in high school, I accidentally left my wallet on a city bus. A wallet that had my SIN card in it. Someone found my wallet, went through the white pages to find people with my last name, found my grandpa and told him that he had found my wallet and to pass his number on to me to give it back. I called that number and did indeed get my wallet and all of its contents back 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @barrybrideaux2919 Canadians can be just as crazy with politics as Americans. The only difference is we will walk away from “stupid” rather than argue with someone that won’t be convinced. When we do argue such as in the comment threads you will hear I am convincing him, I am talking to others who might be hearing his rhetoric and be swayed by it. So yeah we can be as stubborn and crazy. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @bfmolnar I moved from small town British Columbia to Houston Texas about 32 years ago. Was very lucky to be able to live in several different states in those 32 years. In the beginning of 2023 I moved back up to Canada (temporarily) and I cannot wait to get back to United States. \n\nAlthough I love Canada, because it is my homeland, it is simply not anything close to what the United States is. While, both countries have their warts, the United States is, and always will be, simply better in measurable every way.\n\nWhen I hear somebody talk about the free healthcare in Canada, I remind them that there are no doctors available. I remind them how high their taxes are and how long of a wait there is to get any sort of operation. Yes, it’s more expensive than the United States, but for my dollar the care is better and I can get it quicker.\n\nDon’t even get me started about the economy up here, it’s ridiculous.\n\nCanadians are polite? I drive a car with US plates and I’ve been told to go back to where I came from more times than I can count. You might say I must be a jerk to have that got a response but I assure you. I’m like anyone else I have my moments, but overall I’m a pretty chill person.\n\nCan’t wait to get back. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @robstowhotmailcom I've had about 8 friends and 2 relatives who have tried life in the USA.\nOne cousin is still in Colorado after moving there with her 2nd husband, an American, over 10 years ago. The rest have come back to Canada and the biggest general impression I get is that it is simply a huge relief to get out of there. That is a huge contrast to the people I know who had tried life in Mexico, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Europe, Thailand, Japan, VietNam, Australia, and New Zealand: far fewer of them have come back to Canada because they are happy with life there. And the ones who have come back all have things they miss about the countries and most want to go back someday.\n\nMost of the people I know who have come back from the USA are highly critical of the utter lack of a decent health care system in the USA, but for them it was a solvable problem because they had decent jobs and insurance while they were in the USA. What gave them so much relief when they came back to Canada was that during their time in the USA they never felt safe. There is something fundamentally and brutally fucked up about a country where every bank has armed guards, the mall cops are armed, half of the people in your neighbourhood are armed, you're scared to send your children to school, and every time you turn around you see a cop with his hand on his gun. 2 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @blackcatchat I’d just like to point out that Canada is part of America.You say you were wanting to find out how Canadians compared living in Canada to living in America. But Canada IS America. It is part of North America as is Mexico. Just because they adopted the name “The United States of America “ does not mean that they now hold the claim to being all of America. Just thought I should point that out since lots of US citizens don;t seem to under stand the difference. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @denisedejose718 Don’t forget that Canada has amazing maternity leave. Not sure what paternity leave is at right now ( I’m 69) but I would look into it. 1 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @TheAmerthyst I visited Florida a few times (for a few months at a time each)... great place to visit. but only visit. aside from the hurricane season, the health care is -expensive-, iffy, yet good at the same time. People switch doctors there frequently cause of this. There is a lot of theft and homeless and raceism. but. its Florida so I'm no longer surprised. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @iamanisland “Both parties are crazy” Ahem !!! As a Canadian, I find the GOP, MAGA especially, is on a whole other level of crazy. I can’t stand those people. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @SheriSanderson Everytime I go to the US for vacation, as there are so many wonderful places to visit, I’m so frustrated with the rude and obnoxious Americans. It’s always nice to come back home to the majority of people being polite and courteous. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @tedcowart6524 The police in Canada are armed. There are problems with the police here, especially with the natives. Or stormtroopers. Look up, Lethbridge police stormtrooper. 0 zJycj8c73sQ

2 years, 8 months ago @monicajorgensen4774 My husband and I lived in Columbus, Ohio for 12 years. During that time we had two babies, but we had insurance so the price tag wasn't too bad, overall. We made good friends there, all different political views but we got along well and it was great. We lived in Ohio both pre and post 9-11. I definitely noticed a difference in the growing patriotism around us. Even pre-9-11 there was a higher level of overt patriotism than I was used to in Canada. For instance, more people had flags in their yards or America-themed bumper stickers than I was used to in Canada. But post 9-11 patriotism grew immensely, and we started to feel like political views were starting to have an effect on friendships. Also, Ohio passed a conceal carry law (firearms), and I found my awareness that anyone around me might have a concealed weapon unsettling. In Canada the only guns anyone I knew owned were hunting rifles, locked up. But suddenly I had to worry about if there were guns in the houses that my children were visiting. As a Canadian, I just wasn't used to the idea of everyone having guns around. Anyway, we overall enjoyed living in Ohio. The cost of living there was reasonable, the people were friendly, and we only moved when the real estate bubble burst and my husband lost his job. We went back to Canada and, honestly, I've been relieved to be back as I watch the news and see how divided the American people have become. Even some of the friends that I had in Ohio have changed and become a lot less accepting of different opinions. It makes me scared for the future of the US, and the effect it all will have on the rest of the world. 48 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @ronstochler As a Canadian I am actually going to set up a business that's taking advantage of America's horrible healthcare system. I actually wanted to move to the United States every since I was a teen ager. I went to the Detroit area and they failed me in nursing school. I found white Americans to be quite feral and maintain sadistic tendencies and arrogance as necessary cultural value. Regardless my life in Toronto, Canada has turned into nightmare and I still think America is a better place simply because you have more options and job opportunities. Would I prefer to live in the United States? The answer is YES!! 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @jaydawg4632 I lived in Texas for a few years. I didn't find much difference between the U.S. and Canada. Paying a copay to see a doctor and expensive prescription drugs in America was the only big difference. I had good health insurance there, so I found it really good. I was shocked to get a warrant for my arrest because I didn't show up to traffic court though haha. Both countries have pros and cons. 0 zJycj8c73sQ

2 years, 8 months ago @rhondacaissie3034 One thing I don’t think that you have truly grasp Tyler is that you keep referring to how it’s not so bad having to pay for health care. They take it out of your pay or it’s only about 3000.00 to have a child.\nIn Canada, we pay NOTHING. No deductions from pay checks, no extra for medications in hospitals, no underlying charge for illness or childbirth. NOTHING!! So whether you only pay a little because it’s taken out of your income or you have an illness that requires extended intervention, you’ll still paying! Let me reiterate Tyler. We pay NOTHING!!! So quit saying, “Oh, it’s not that bad here.” How can you justify NOTHING compared to payments, co-pays, and payments for anything thats not standard care. Have I mentioned, NOTHING!! Quite trying to sugarcoat deficient health care. 1 zJycj8c73sQ

2 years, 8 months ago @cherylmaclean4349 I live in Ontario and because of our Premier, our hospitals are in a horrendous position. I am in need of an MRI and have been waiting since April. Where I live in Waterloo Region, the wait is now at least 10 months to find out when your appointment is. My specialist told me to go to Buffalo, so I ended up paying $500 USD and had it 3 days later. Now , I can be referred to the neurosurgeon and have been waiting for this MRI since April for this referral. We talked with the radiologist and it was the most pleasant experience I’ve ever had. What I would add is that unfortunately, it’s expensive, but at least one less person in my region will need an MRI now. I am still waiting to hear about my appointment in Ontario… 1 zJycj8c73sQ

2 years, 8 months ago @Peaceful-ninja Glad Im in Canada. My son came 3 weeks early. I had chosen to use a midwife and have a home birth. After 30 hours of intese labour and no baby coming, we went to the hospital. When I asked for drugs, transfer of care. They noticed the baby was breach. In rushed the top 3 OBGYN and I had an emergency csection. Followed up by a week stay in the hospital while my premature baby was under a lamp for jaundice. They let my husband stay in the hospital room for us so gave us a private room. Total cost? Nothing 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @blanchemoyaert3714 The problem in US is the extremes of wealth and poverty compared to Canada. The result is the life expectancy in US is 6 years below that in Canada. 5 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @FreddyFuFu I think it depends on your personal wealth. USA is great for successful people and sucks for lazy commies... it's the reverse for Canada, sucks for upper middle class and up, great for lazy people who wants to live off state programs. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @doug6489 Maternal death rate in the USA is more than 10 times that of Canada. Why would anyone want to give birth there? No maternal leave so giddy up get your ass back to work the corporation needs you. Freedom hahahahaha 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @ernestthorick64 I'm Canadian, and so very glad that I was born here. Canada has an excellent health care system, top notch education cirrulum; when I watch the American news I shudder - with the current political climate and gun violence I am so glad to be Canadian. You could not pay me enough to even consider moving to the US. I disagree with your statement that you could raise children in America, children should not have to wear a flack jacket or Kevlar when going to school - especially considering the poor education system in the US. Which is painfully evident in some of US Congress people and Republican politicians. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @philovance1940 I know lots of Canadians living in the US. Many have become US citizens and have no plans to return to Canada, save for Visit. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @JunkBondTrader Our police are always armed as well, just FYI. But yeah the enforcement is very lax. I drive ~1500-2000 km a week for work around the greater Vancouver area. Basically I drive all day, and In an average day I maybe drive by 1 or 2 marked cruisers. In downtown Vancouver there are more, but in the surrounding cities, you barely see them ever. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @renenadeau323 10,000.00$ for childbirth? Now I understand why they want abortion in the USA. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @JunkBondTrader Private healhcare in America is very high quality sure, but since they are private businesses, Canadians have access to them too if we really want. That said out private healthcare is pretty damn good too, maybe not as top notch as America. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @jlm3124 Day to day living, - not much different. Guns in the US bother me as does lack of social healthcare. Wish I could bring your warm winters up here. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @JunkBondTrader The pregnant woman, the reason she probably moved back is because all Canadians get paid maternity leave for 1 year, and I think extended coverage you can get up to 18 months, after having a kid. It's not your full pay, but a good chunk of it. As long as you were employed for a certain time before giving birth, or reaching a certain stage in your pregnancy Im not sure EXACTLY how it works. America you get 3 months off... unpaid. Forcing most parents with no benefit from work to struggle financially just to watch their kid, or hire expensive help, and have a stranger watch and raise your 3 month old for half the time. 1 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @stephensteele2844 As a Canadian if I break my leg, the hospital is free and the government will pay 2/3 of my wages while I recover and my job can’t fire me. Neat. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @davidsmith530 The US is the only nation in the free world that does not have universal health care. The cost per person for health care is double in the US than it is in Canada..Big PhRma is ripping you off! 0 zJycj8c73sQ
