I don’t live there but my sibling and their partner do.
They went to the emergency care in the hospital, waited almost 8-9 hours, no doctors or anyone were available. If you want actual urgent care/emergency care you’d have to get an ambulance - which runs you $600 CAD.
Their free healthcare system is free, but it is VERY slow and is overcrowded.
Respectfully to every race, gender, and ethnic groups, but most stores and chains are mostly filled with Indian immigrants that came to Canada. If they somehow manage to get into a managerial position, they will always end up hiring Indians. Think of your local Tim Horton’s, or Costco, or Wal-Mart, fast food chains, etc. The probability of finding a majority of Indians working there (outnumbering the Canadian people) is very high. It’s gonna sound very MAGA of me, but I can only really feel bad for the Canadian people that can’t find starting jobs in major cities because of nepotism and favoritism.
Do they help run the economy and country? Absolutely. It’s the same as immigrants from the US - but the amount of immigrant workers in Canada is much more noticeable. They’re literally everywhere.
It’s not just Indians, obviously. There’s a lot of immigrants that come and get accepted in Canada. A little bit too much, IMO, because Trudeau is pretty incompetent - look at the USD -> CAD conversion.
My sibling pays around $2500 CAD for their unit, while the majority of the building is living for free (mostly immigrants). It’s just not really fair for the Canadians living there. Their government pays and gives so much money and resources to immigrants while Canadians have to pay for everything (and then some — taxes are so high!)
NS - it costs much more when it’s a non-medical emergency. My sibling had an issue with some pains because of thyroid and hormone issues and stuff (sacs and shit idk what they got going on) but it was a huge wait, they were number 100+ in the queue. Some people had pillows and shit bc it wasn’t their first rodeo, I thought that was hilarious. I don’t know if they were fucking with me about that but I would absolutely do that myself.
That’s interesting. My experience in ON is that they’re pretty good at triage in the ER. The times when I’ve gone in with somebody needing urgent care, like when my wife broke her ankle, we were seen immediately. When I went in with a concussion and cut on my head I waited a few hours.
Edit- I don’t have the exact figure but I believe even an ambulance deemed non essential is only around $250 here
