Great point. While we're at it, can we all stop with the pretending that Canadia is even real?
Name me one person who has ever been there. I, for one, refuse to acknowledge its existence.
It's like America but with universal healthcare, legal dope, and the ability to travel anywhere in the world without being spit on.
Healthcare that involves long waits and doesn't cover certain things. Does dope have to be legal to get it? Have any of you ever had a spit-on or similar experience traveling out of the US. I never have, and I have travelled outside the US more than most people I know. And a lower standard of living? And a crappy exchange rate with the US dollar.
I sure wouldn't want to live in Canada, although I like Canada.
1.The long waits claim is a bullshit argument that people use against universal healthcare, its not something that is factually accurate.
2. Im assuming PR gets spat on in Missoula let alone a foreign country.
3. Canada frequently tops the lists of countries with the highest standards of living, right up there with most Scandinavian countries. Heres a link because I know you love your proof. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/23/us-news--world-report-top-10-best-countries-in-the-world-in-2019-.html
You post a lot of bullshit and made up event to prove how cool you are, but this paragraph may have been one of your most bullshittiest to date.
Your link is not even for standard of living. It's for some BS ranking called "best countries". Canada ranks far behind the US in standard of living. "The generally accepted measure of the standard of living is GDP per capita. 2 This is a nation's gross domestic product divided by its population." https://www.thebalance.com/standard-of-living-3305758
In 2019, the IMF has the US listed as 7th in per capita GDP, at $65,000, and Canada 17th at $46,000.
1 Luxembourg 113,196
2 Switzerland 83,716
— Macau 81,151
3 Norway 77,975
4 Ireland 77,771
5 Qatar 69,687
6 Iceland 67,037
7 United States 65,111

Wait times in Canada. They are huge and growing.
20 weeks is mean wait for 12 specialties. See below. That's alot of waiting.
"Waiting Your Turn, the Fraser Institute’s annual summary of treatment wait times in Canada, is out Tuesday, and the news is not good.
It begins, “Waiting for treatment has become a defining characteristic of Canadian health care,” and reports that the median wait for treatment across all provinces and some 12 medical specialties is now 19.8 weeks."

"How long is the wait for a hip replacement in Canada?
People in the province needing a hip replacement can expect to wait 750 days while a knee replacement can take 800 days, a number far above the national average of 182 days. “Knees and hips are a huge, huge area impacting so many people and the quality of life,” said Pickup."
"This year, Canadians could expect to wait 4.3 weeks for a computed tomography (CT) scan, 10.6 weeks for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, and 3.9 weeks for an ultrasound. Research has repeatedly indicated that wait times for medically necessary treatment are not benign inconveniences.Dec 4, 2018"
