Canada doesn't even have the most advanced cancer treatments available.

Ontario is literally sending me to Colorado for Proton Beam Radiation because the liberal government refused to fund the acquisition of it, and now the Conservative government is also refusing.

I waited over 1 year for life saving cancer surgery that would have been done at John Hopkins in 7 days. Some people are waiting over a year just to speak to a doctor.

I don't think you understand how terrible Canadian healthcare is. It has nothing to do with the Doctors or nurses. It has to do with the complete lack of funding.

There is a reason every single thing in a Hospital has a family name. From waiting rooms, to imaging areas, to ICU wards. It's because it has all been privately funded.

We are great for simple things, like an ER visit, or cancers that have been well figured out and established, such as prostate cancer or breast cancer. We have amazing Doctors, Nurses and staff working at the hospitals. For any type of other cancers, diseases or advanced illnesses, we are fucking horrible, and I say this as someone going through it currently.

I have been sent to America multiple times by Princess Margaret and St Michaels Hospital in Toronto. For simple things, like MRI's (we don't have advanced MRI machines), tests (we can't test for certain cancers in Canada) and now radiation (don't have Proton Therapy in Canada).

So although I agree having to pay for it all in America sucks, at least you have access to the most advanced treatments and cutting edge science. We simply do not in Canada.
