Canada's national health insurance program is at least part of the reason for the differences found in the study, Woolhandler said. Universal coverage makes it easier for more Canadians to get disease-preventing health services, she said. -

Re: canada is the new saudi arabia...
ya you can make a six figure salary with a high school education...but the quality of life leaves a little to be desired. they usually work 3 weeks on, then one off, and we're talking 10-12 hour days. fort macmurray is 4 hours north of me in edmonton, and we're the farthest north of any city in north america with a population of a million or more. it can be a pretty desolate place if you're not used to the cold and the lack of sunshine in the winter (in december and january the sun comes up at 9am and sets by 3pm). still, not many places can you make that kind of money with next to no education.
i myself just got on as a business analyst with a large oil and gas firm, but i'll be working in Calgary. Alot easier place to live, and the money is just as good, if not better.Comment
