what is it like to live in canada?

same as the states except everything is more expensive and there isnt as much to do. oh and safer+free basic health care

Sorry i dont speak muslim

my whole driveway is 3 inches of thick ice

I've lived in both (born in U.S. got visa for Canada a few years ago), and it's pretty much just an extension of the Great Lakes and midwestern-America.

But there really isn't much to do in Canada unless you love being cold and getting your coffee fix at Tim Horton's instead of Starbucks.

Like the U.S, but colder and more expensive

Your "free" healthcare only gets you a couple of treatments per year. Plus, the medical service is sub-par quality. If you're REALLY sick/injured, good luck after being told you have to wait for service in Canada.

You tell people youre American on the internet because why bother

You can't get a girlfriend because everybody around you is either brown, Asian, or short, so you spend most of your time wishing you would die

Good places to shop, nice clean malls

Even though it's supposed to be "safer" than the states, I grew up in the hood, so I can't even be in public and relax. Every time i hear loud noises I'm looking for the first thing that I can duck behind that will stop a bullet

Dollar sucks ass making you feel like being successful is pointless, and resenting your parents for not being American to begin with

I hate hockey

People are very, very friendly where I'm living now. But as i said, i grew up in the hood, and i dont have any will to live, so I don't interact with them anyway. Fuck having friends. ive gone this long without having anybody to talk with why start now. It would be like quitting

Honestly, the women are far more attractive in canada. ive spent time in the states and canada. American women are horrible

Better water

Nearly all canadians live right next to american border. it is just another state of usa.

I hate french people more than you do

There's 2 main cities, Vancouver and Toronto, which are both chinese either way. If youre moving to canada learn mandarin we're up to our knees in these ping pong niggas

i live in the country outside of ottawa in the woods, summers are +40 in the extreme and winters are -40 in the extreme, same as america really except as user said more expensive shit because of higher taxes but health care is free, i literally just walk into a hospital and show them my health card and see a doctor for free, not too many minorities at all if you live in the country, white people only exist out in the country from what i have seen, my town of 10,000 has like two black guys, hockey and winter sports are fun, even shoveling snow is kinda fun, scraping your car sucks though, not many people, idk what do you want to know?

get out of the cities you faggot, its like that in every country, whiteys have retreated out into the woods and fields as the cities are now full of browns yellows and blacks

also less variety in basically everything compared with america, fewer banks, fewer chocolate bar companies, etc

Er, this isn't accurate. The quality is pretty comparable to the US, at least according to the WHO. And if you're REALLY sick/injured you'll be treated pretty much immediately, as Canadian hospitals run in a triage system.

pretty much usa but free healthcare, little racism (still racist in some parts), and overall safer unless you go to the ghettos.

oh and tim hortons

>Your "free" healthcare

it comes out of our taxes like it should

>only gets you a couple of treatments per year.

never heard of this

>Plus, the medical service is sub-par quality.

idk what shit country you come from, but becoming a medical doctor is hard as fuck

>If you're REALLY sick/injured, good luck after being told you have to wait for service in Canada.

if youre really sick or injured and need immediate medical attention you'll get it, if you have a cold or something that is not urgent you get to wait in line until they have time to serve you which takes anywhere between 10 minutes-4 hours depending on the day

>nice clean malls
>fewer chocolate bar companies
>Good places to shop
>I grew up in the hood,
>resenting your parents for not being American
>you spend most of your time wishing you would die

You're not a man.

Not too different from the states, but you never have to worry about people having guns on them. We like to skate a lot. Tim's is popular but it's just coffee really. Extremely similar cultures, although in my experience Canadians tend to be a little more aware of other things around the world, I've met a lot of Americans that didn't really know much about anywhere else because they have America so why would they care about anywhere else? With that being said, that sort of attitude isn't really as common in Canada. Fewer people are like, "Man Canada is the best place in the world fuck everywhere else!" But a lot of people are certainly like, "Man, I fucking love Canada I'm so glad I don't live in the states." We also love to complain about the cold but as soon as a non-Canadian/someone from BC or Toronto starts to complain about cold weather we all like to act as though we don't get cold and then we brag about how cold it is where we are.

You go to Timmy's and get a Double Double. Then you go and grab your twigs and play some hockey.

ive been back and forth between america and canada lots, canada has far more physically athletic men and women than america per capita, when i was in florida it was basically a sea of fatties everywhere that was not the beach, canadian men is stronk

Dude most of Canada is racist as fuck.

Outside of Toronto and Vancouver, it's just like rural America. All the white people will only be nice to you if you're white and/or they're stoners.

That said, I'm in the process of getting citizenship so I can raise my future kids somewhere with good healthcare and an education system that isn't collapsing.

lmao this, fuck toronto and hongcouver

>You're not a man.

Im just going to skip reading your green text faggotry, your comment is "i'm not a man," go shoot yourself? what do you want me to do, this thread didnt even go anywhere and im already required to keep this tab open to tell some downie to kill himself while he has a conversation with me that im not even reading

this, canada is full of racist rednecks surprisingly, imagine a winter version of an american redneck, camo coats

I'm from Chicago, pretty much exactly the same what you said for how we see it here (except the part about the guns; still quite a problem).

But if its not urgent you have to be reffered to a specialist and all that shit, in the U.S. if you have money/insurance you get great healthcare.

you're right, america has the best health care in the world, if you can afford it, too bad most of you can't and end up homeless paying for chemotherapy and radiotherapy when you get cancer

getting referred to a specialist isn't even that big a deal though, i've seen a few for lung problems i had when i was younger and it wasn't hard

too bad in Canada you'd be tossed around from specialist to specialist until you died from cancer before you could even get your "free" chemo

Yeah I don't doubt that healthcare in the U.S. is great for those with money/insurance. I don't mind the extra bit of hassle for the less urgent stuff though if it comes along with a safety net for things out of my control. Like, I never have to be worried about my treatment costs if I get cancer or break a bone or something. One of my best friends got leukaemia in high school, and he was treated and is currently in remission, and it was all covered under our healthcare system (or at least the vast majority of it as far as I know. His family isn't particularly well off, and they didn't really suffer at all financially because of his diagnosis and treatment.) They might've been billed an insane amount of money if that happened in the states.

I had an American roommate who told me that she had a friend who broke an arm or something and didn't go to the hospital because they didn't have insurance and couldn't afford a cast. Admittedly, it's anecdotal and I don't know this story personally, but the idea of not getting a cast for a broken limb because you can't afford it was actually shocking to me. I had never even considered that scenario as a possibility because it just wouldn't happen in Canada.

So yeah, it's not necessarily always convenient, and the healthcare system doesn't pander to my every whim and desire, but I sure as hell am grateful for the safety net that it gives me and my friends/family.

this

Canada ~ The States

This post ^ directly contradicts your claim. My friend got cancer, and was treated with free chemo, and even got a bone marrow transplant and is now in remission. He was transferred to one specialist because we didn't have a chemotherapy treatment clinic in my town, so he had to go a couple hours away every month to get treatment until he was better.

if you have cancer they find out pretty fast, my girlfriends mom got diagnosed pretty quickly and so did my friend, this is untrue, also both lived

lol, you have no idea what you are talking about. if you have cancer, you have chemo the next week.
i work in an hospital

I got referred to a nerve specialist once

Also, america objectively doesn't have the best health care in the world. The WHO doesn't even rank them in the top 10.

If you're native the government hates you until you start killing yourself, and would rather help dangerous third worlders than citizens.

true but im a dangerous third worlder so enjoy your shithole up north

Then kill yourself. You're holding the world back.

yeah fuckin right abbo cunt

go sniff some gas

At least I belong in this country you curry nigger.

you don't belong anywhere

I wish I could up vote your post reddit style x 1000.

Canada is USA lite. Our government, especially the Liberals try to make it seem as though we are "different" but we aren't really.

Housing no matter where you live even in the burbs of little ottawa where I am from is expensive. Gas, insurance, utilities ate all off the charts gouge level expensive too.
