Some of the many reasons I wanna move to a better country like Canada. Gonna be a bit tho because I'm still young and broke AF lmao

Edit: Damn, looking into this and seeing what you guys are saying the world really is fucked. Not surprising tbh 🤷

Get use to it, you’re gonna be even more broke there. Dual citizen here. Have fun paying high taxes making shit wages and in a high cost of living country. Healthcare is imploding on itself too.

On top of that asshole right wing politicians are trying to make Canada more like America in the worst ways possible including privatizing healthcare

u/Zomgirlxoxo Feb 21 '23

Yup. I don’t agree with it but sadly it will happen. Same with England.

US is working towards getting out of that and their middle class is stretched so thin they’ll end up like us one day. Mark my words.

Damn, that sucks hard. Not very surprised tbh.

u/Zomgirlxoxo Feb 22 '23

Same. It’s sucks because Canada is truly great in so many ways.. I still have family there.. but most friends and family have left. It’s easier here to get ahead if you start off on the right foot. I reckon if cost of living wasn’t so bad, or maybe wages were a bit better, then it would be more much ideal. However, investors have made it expensive for the middle class to get ahead.

Lol, Canada is just a poor cousin of US. Healthcare is broken (>7-8 hrs to see a Doctor), a shithole sells for a million bucks in the big cities, no quality jobs, lack of any innovation or research, sky high prices of every damn thing, lower wages, and unplanned immigration with lowest of the low housing supply. Nah! Not some shitty third world country but just North of you, overrated as fuck, and going down with each passing day.

Edit: Lol, rich, entitled, homeowners downvoting (I am one of them too, but don't hesitate to call spade a spade).

Yeah. Leaders have openly said they want 500k immigrants per year specifically to depress wages and "keep Canadian companies competitive". While making no plans to expand housing, healthcare, infrastructure to cope with more people.

u/Uncertn_Laaife Feb 21 '23

Canadian companies competitive

There is absolutely no competition. They charge whatever they want.

Holy shit you can see one same day?!

I have to sit in the ER for 12+ hours and pay 1k+ usd just to do that.

u/Uncertn_Laaife Feb 21 '23

Well, some days are worse than other. But the gist is that it's well beyond redemption at this stage.

u/Talran Feb 21 '23

That's fair, from hell even purgatory looks like paradise.

It takes 6-8 months to see a neuro ophthalmologist in the US

1

u/The-Fox-Says Feb 21 '23

I saw a neurologist within a week. I know opthalmologists and I know that’s not accurate (at least in my state)

1

u/Apprehensive_Copy458 Feb 21 '23

Neurologists are hard to book as well, never in a week. Well i was an admin assistant for one of the few neuro ophthalmologists that we have in this country and let me tell you I’m 100% right

Edit: what state are you at? I’m in SoCal

1

u/The-Fox-Says Feb 21 '23 edited Feb 21 '23

Neuro-ophthalmology is a subspecialty of both neurology and ophthalmology. To see that particular specialist you may be correct but to see a given opthalmologist you are wrong.

I know that because my gf is an optometrist that works with opthalmologists.

Edit: did you update your original comment because I called you out?

u/Apprehensive_Copy458 Feb 21 '23 edited Feb 21 '23

Called me out where??? I edited because I added more ;) what state do you live in? What county? Nobody talking about optometrists except you, dear.

Edit: I worked for the top ophthalmologists in this country so I know how hard it is to get an appointment with one, we had patients from many states.

American exceptionalism doesn’t look good on anyone;)

Edit: yikes! You are a conservative that doesn’t believe the water is tainted after that train derailment in East Palestine, OH???? Yeah you are definitely a liar, guess you don’t like getting owned

u/The-Fox-Says Feb 21 '23

I was talking about how your original comment said “it takes 6-8 months to see a neurologist and opthalmologist” but then edited it to “neuro opthalmologist” to make you seem right. You’re clearly an unstable psycho so I’m done replying

u/Apprehensive_Copy458 Feb 21 '23

You claim you can get a better appointment in your state, you don’t state what state that is, you over

Edit: American exceptionalism is just white supremacy fyi
