Canadians, it seems, love their universal health care.

The monarchy? Not so much.

A new national poll commissioned by the Montreal-based Association for Canadian Studies examined the pride Canadians place in a list of more than a dozen symbols, achievements and attributes.

The online survey of 2,207 respondents by Leger Marketing found universal health care was almost universally loved, with 94 per cent calling it an important source of collective pride – including 74 per cent who called it “very important.”

Only 74%.
They can be replaced easily with immigrants who will find it more than very important and work hard and pay their taxes and appreciate their resulting good health.

I've known many Canadians in NYC & here in the Twinkie Cities. Every last one of them heartily approves of Canada's health care system. Not one was willing to exchange it for the puny one we have here in the States.

As a proud Canadian I would not trade our health care system or pension system for anything

In BC, docs are not on the internet. Might get better and cheaper service if they were.

Monarchy, that august institution Stephen Harper like kicking around when necessary for proroguing. More precisely, he kicks around the GG/crown. All he knows is that the PM is the boss, and everyone else gets talking points from the PMO.
