Canada without Canadian healthcare would not be a great place to live in.

Out of curiosity, why are people still voting for a person/party that wants to effectively kill Canada?

No idea. I've been slowly setting myself up to move abroad as the things that are important to me either don't exist in Canada or are disappearing year after year.

This comment isn't meant to be flippant. I personally believe walkable cities, decent public transit, and decent public services are an important part of preventing social decay. Canada generally doesn't have much of this left. Seeing public healthcare slip away (not just increasing privatization but even just degradation in quality of public care) feels like the last straw for me.

I'm excited to explore new places later this year. Nowhere is perfect but certainly there are places with a better balance of positives, or so I suspect.
