Re: Is it cold in Canada?
I am a very gracious person!!!!! And no that really was my point......nothing is for free no matter how you look at it......i spent years working within the NHS and it can make you judgmental and a little miffed when people say it's a free service therefore taking it for granted. It has to be paid for one way or another just the same as all healthcare in other countries........and so it should!

What the person said was "their son has to wait two years before he can be enroled in a state school" I had assumed that "state school" meant "school" not daycare. I guess because there is no such thing as "state" daycare is there? In Sask. there isn't.
Seems to me that if everything was the same in Canada as it is in England, then why would anybody bother moving?? However, it does seem that over and over again there are people on this board who have CHOSEN to move to Canada and then spend lots of time on here complaining about how its not the same as England!
You don't say!
