Are you comparing Canada with the UK or another country? If the UK, when were you unable to see a doctor in the UK?

It can't be NC (seasons), MI (iced hockey), WI (cheese curds) or CA (mellow beggars, dude) so I'm guessing Alaska. I don't know about begging strategies in AK but will ask those who will know. |

1. Not worrying about if you can see a doctor (worrying about when instead)
2. Homeless smile with their hat laid on the sidewalk in front of them instead of verbally asking for money as people walk by 3. Having beautiful season changes 4. Poutine 5. Hockey 1 is more more liklely to happen in Canada, get outside of the cities and you'll find a serious shortage of doctors here, they prefer the wages down south... 2 The Homelees do ask and can get qute irritated when you say no, I got asked walking back down Broadway (Vancouver ) on Thursday night.. |

Every now and then one gets bent out of shape at being ignored and starts screaming and raving. Once one pulled a knife, a small knife, which made me think of Crocodile Dundee. |

I ignore them. Arguably, it's more polite to tell them to **** Off, as that acknowledges their humanity but I don't feel comfortable walking along muttering **** off, **** off, **** off.

I think the default view of all these contributions should be sarcasm. There are a few which are better interpreted as plainly naive though.
