einsteino:
I can't argue with points 6, 7, 11 and 12. My God she perfectly summarised Canada in the bolded, especially that point 7! People here are two faced and eye service is a huge part of their workplace culture. I cant count how many times people have spoken very ill of someone to me, but go on leading the person to think they are best of friends. They even find it odd when you choose to be neutral. You really can't tell where you stand with a canadian, esp at work. It is very common for seeming good friends at work to forget your existence the moment you or they change jobs. People socialize on a need-to-basis here. This is why most immigrants default to mostly associating with people of their own culture, just to preserve their social sanity. It is the second generation of immigrants/kids that often get used to the flow.
Then the healthcare thing... that one beats my comprehension. There is an acute shortage of specialist doctors, Canadians even travel abroad to get healthcare, yet doctors have to go through an abysmally long winding path to licensure. It seems like there is a deliberate plan to maintain the shortage. @ the bolded!!!...you nailed it with precision.. |
