“I did spend 9 years as a manager at a pizza place”
When people ask me why I moved back to Canada from the USA, knowing I'd be paid less and have higher taxes, I often have a hard time articulating what the difference is between the two countries. Why I prefer to live here.<p>This thread sums it up nicely.<p>No matter how down-on-my-luck I get back in Canada, I will always have a safety net. I can always walk into a hospital and be treated. I can take time off when I'm sick. I get time off if I have a kid. It's the <i>law</i> here and not just best effort by employers. It's for everyone and not just the rich.
