Finally leaving Canada for the U.S.

Took a few years but my company is finally transferring me from my god forsaken country of Canada (Toronto) to California. I feel like life is going to improve dramatically. Ps: Canada sucks

 

California is freaking paradise compared to Canada.

can you provide some reasons? have a friend in west coast us thinking about going to Toronto for a better opportunity - better place and job opp than what he's doing now. would be interested to hear your thought as to why. know healthcare in canada is top notch

 

I’m Canadian and I can confidently say that since the pandemic our healthcare is complete shit….

Also, it’s not free… we pay for it through much higher taxes than the US (including California) as adjusted for our income tax brackets and notional tax rates.

 

You will not be able to get a doctor through the public system in Canada. That ship has sailed.

You will need to either: wait 10+ hours at the ER or pay for a private shop/clinic doctor which defeats the purpose of the high taxes in Canada.
