As well most people who work full time jobs have benefits provided through their employer. These cover most of the stuff like prescriptions, the extras at hospital like a private or semi private room, physio dental glasses and so on.
Depending on what you do for a living, and where you choose to live, the health care can be just the right system for you. Otherwise you can still go to the US and have what ever done and pay for it the way you do now.

if you don't need a job (retired, perhaps?) consider the eastern provinces, particularly newfoundland. There's no safer or friendlier place in the world

Last year I had a heart attack and quad bypass surgery. Didn't cost me one penny. Work benefits took care of room costs. Rehab was free. Preascription drugs are not covered but when you consider US seniors make bus trips to Canada for meds the price has got to be better.
Any large metro area will have issues with guns and drugs. Typically in comparison to the US, gun crimes are a fraction of what the states are, even taking in to account smaller population.
Canadian laws are considerably right of the US. Our constitution provides for "peace, order and good goverment" not liberty and justice for all. Typically you won't really notice any difference, though.
Taxes are higher in Canada. We have to support an infrastructure across the 2nd largest country in the world with the pop. of California. If you don't drink, smoke or drive cars excessively, prices are comparable.
Might want to double check but Winnipeg has a bit of a crime issue. Only city of any size in the province. Saskatchewan is mostly rural so has low crime rates as per small rural towns.

In the States the political system is more democtaric and there are more freedoms. As for the health system, if you have a job you have additional coverage and here and there, there is no difference. Just customer service would be friendlier in the States.

Well, it's difficult to express your own opinion without being "politically correct". Like why all minorities are encouraged to keep to their own culture, i.e. not mix all together and becoming one nation like in the States? You don't feel it in the States, everyone there is just American.

1. Do you like the Public Education? Why or why not?
2. Do you like the Healthcare System? Why or why not?
3. What do you think of the laws?
4. What do you think of Canada's leadership?
5. What is the cost of living like? (example: do you make
enough money to pay your bills?)
1.free public education or death
2.free healthcare or death
3.too expensive
4.corporate bootlicking idiots same as US
5a.expensive. 5b. no this is not Utopia
Since your from the states and can already think independently, why do you want to move here and learn to think collectively.
Welcome to Canada. You must worship our sacred animal.

Quoting triedit
Canada has limits on freedom of speech for example. No klan rallies or Westboro Babtist haters would be allowed to speak in public. They would be arrested under hate crime laws. The right to bear arms is non-existant up here. There is no right. It is a privilege to own a sporting gun. No handguns. Police powers of arrest, seizure and collection of evidence are far right of the US. We are right of the US in laws and left in social policies.
More freedoms? Can you explain that for me?

Do you like the Public Education? Why or why not?
Yes it’s great
Do you like the Healthcare System? Why or why not?
Once you qualify for government healthcare you never have to pay out of pocket for medical doctors or procedure your taxes pay for it which means everyone pays for your expenses and you pay for everyone elses so it works to your advantage.
Voodoo medicine like chiropractors, naturopaths, homopaths and other outer fringe practice you have to pay for.
What do you think of the laws?
Not as idiotic like American laws
What do you think of Canada's leadership?
Our present minority government are trying their best when we get a Liberal majority then it will be better
What is the cost of living like? (example: do you make
enough money to pay your bills?)
We make enough money to pay our bills only the alcoholics and drug addicts have a harder time.

Did you visit Quebec recently?
The only one thing to add: people in Canada are far from being nice. They are arrongant, they don't see anything except for themselves, they care only about themselves and will never help you, unless there is something in it for them. Very cheap.

Some of us eat babies and puppys and step on bugs for fun.

Like today even: neighbors deliberately were throwing snow on my front yard, but after I told them not to, they got all upset because "the previous owner did not mind that". No consideration at all. Like this is the way it should be. No respect to others' property. Though of course maybe it's just a matter of luck, the woman (neighbor) has no education and works as a clerk, and maybe more educated person would be different. However an educated person in Canada is also a rarity.

I think Im glad Im not your neighbor. Granted what they did was wrong, but you've got issues. My husband, a Canadian, is well educated and has a good job. The taxi driver I met the other day was a doctor in his country. The clerk at the Dominion near me is a retired teacher and just works for fun.
What do you do that makes you so superior?
Granted, as an immigrant, I find things to complain about in Canada. But it's not petty things like snow. It's important things like the wait in an ER or the liberal sentencing for felons. Snow? Bah. Throw it back and get a life. Perhaps if you "lowered yourself" to be friends with this neighbor she might be more sympathetic to your request.
From where I sit, it looks like you are a shining example of that which you complain.

and i think, triedit, you are a good example of a canadian.
what your just wrote is totally arrogant. You don't know the situation and me as well. I was nothing but polite, however thee just think that they own the world and don't follow the rules. You know, there are some rules to follow i the property game??
And as for education, yes, in Canada people are not educated enough. You probably did not encounter with many, if yu think otherwise.
