Just better health care, more expensive, and less freedom of speech.

Dan offers some advice on where she might find it.

You got it right about being more expensive, but I disagree that our health care is good. Overcrowded hospitals, ridiculous wait times for many surgeries, and nearly impossible to find a GP hardly make for a great health care system. Many Canadians seem to forget that we are actually paying through the nose for our health care. They seem to think the gov't is paying for it, but who the hell is paying the gov't.

Agreed, our healthcare is pretty much as bad as it gets for socialized medical systems. So, yeah, it's "better than somewhere with no socialized medicine," and in some senses it is better than USA---in USA, if you work, you might pay something like $400/month to insure yourself against breaking a leg where in Canada you pay $40, and even if you don't pay, it's not like you'll ever be denied care in a Canadian hospital if you ask "are you denying me care?" The operators of these hospitals, who are all private societies contracted by Government, have certain obligations that they are discharging for the Crown---the Crown is duty-bound to protect the subject, which involves protecting all interests: medical, legal, religious, etc.
And the less freedom of speech part is right, except we don't have freedom of speech; we have serfdom of speech, or bondage of speech.

Our freedom of speak osncretianly less then what’s permitted in the US. People are hypersensitive in Canada. Heaven forbid some gets offended by what someone else thinks.
Our healthcare is poor. People saying “yes but Americans pay $500 per month for health care etc. Compare our taxes to theirs - we pay more.
On the plus side we don’t have a gun problem and a country full of people blind of the cause. We have a lot less hypocritical bible thumpers and I’d like to think we aren’t dumb enough to elect Someone like Trump, but in all honestly we arnt that fare off electing a substitute drama teacher with zero experience to run our country.
