i love my country...... but i hate my province of british columbia

people are are starting to leave in record numbers for alberta and ontario. it used to be people would move here. everything is so damn expensive here, especially property. our health system can't get their shit together. we are even trying to recruit american doctors and nurses. there are so many of us who don't even have a family doctor.i live in a city with about 115k people but twice this year the hospital had to close because it didn't have enough doctors. just the other day it had to shut down because a doctor went home sick and a hospital has to have a minimum amount working. what's bs is we can't replace that doctor from another region....wtf!?

aside from that, crime is rampant. drug addicts are everywhere and our judicial system sucks. our mayors are way over paid. some of them making almost the same amount that trump is making.

the only thing keeping me here is the beauty of this province, the weather and my age. if i were in my 30s or 40s i'd be hightailing it outa here,

thanks for listening

I've had my family doctor for like 20 years. It's really bad now for people looking for dr's. :/

@beermeplease can you get him in to see your dr? Mine has taken a few patients that I asked her for
@Lilymoon i don't have one....we had the same doctor for years. even was my parent's doctor but he's retired

I had no idea it was like that!
@Jenny1234 the frustrating thing is everybody acknowledges the problems but nothing is being done about it because everyone is trying to pass the responsibilty on someone else....the problems are not new

@beermeplease that’s just so unfortunate. Is it something you can contact your local mp about?
@Jenny1234 i guess i could but it seems like the attitude around here is "they will here me, but will they listen?" it's a real mess

Sounds like the future of Denver.

@beermeplease I think half of this apartment building is empty right now. Rents are too high and greedy slum landlords are going broke.
@hunkalove my parents came to this country in 1967 same year my brother was born here. mom didn't work because she was looking after my brother. by around 1969 they saved up enough money for a down payment on a house. i think it was around 17k. i'm going to guess it's wort almost 2 million now (cad of course) an average working couple without kids can't do that now

@beermeplease My father came back from World War II, got a job, borrowed some money from his boss, built his own house, and never made a housing payment in his entire life.

You forgot the prostitutes as you drive into Vancouver from the East.
