Corporate Work in the US vs. Canada?

Posted by Cliff on from the are-they-really-all-that-different? dept.

No One You Know asks: "I've been working as a sysadmin for an insurance company in the US for the past six years, and have decided to move to Canada. I've had it with corporate America, but I'm trying to keep an open mind while job hunting. How does Canadian corporate life compare to that of the US?"

    >>Everyone trusts everyone else, we're all ready to get to know one another, and we certainly don't stay uptight after the regional manager has ended his visit to our office.

    So how long have you worked for the Department of Immigration?

    >>Working in Canada is much less conducive to heart attacks.

    And it's a right good thing, considering the, uh, "efficiency" of the Canadian socialist medical system.

    Republican bullshit not withstanding, the Canadian single-payer health care system works better than anything I have ever seen in the US.

    Is that why the Ontario government and Princess Margaret Hospital sent more than a thousand backlogged cancer patients to Roswell Park in Buffalo - because of how well the Canadian system works?

    Perhaps that's when they had an opportunity to discuss the state of North Tonawanda - on the drive down ;)

    And did we forget to mention that Canadians have class?

    Reagan did start some good policies with economics. Clinton, after 8 years, left office with a $500 billion surplus. In 2 years, the 2nd bush brought us to a $500 billion deficit. If bush can screw a surplus so badly in 2 years, then clinton did an awesome job to leave us with a surplus after 8 years. During clintons reign, jobs weren't hard to find (talking about ALL jobs, not just tech jobs). Now they are. That speaks volumes to me on who screwed the economy more than anything.
