Your taxes did get lower, carbon tax got killed.

People will always cry about taxes, my dad was crying about it 40 years ago people still crying today, it’s never actually changed and no government is going to come in and change your income tax rate bud, sorry.

How do you “reduce” the number of people? Kill people? lol

You know why BC sucks? Because even doctors don’t want to live there. I got a doctor in Calgary like 2 days after moving there and she is a new immigrant from the UK but originally from the Caribbean. New immigrants are doctors too, not just uber eats drivers. She chose Calgary because she can easily live here quite nicely with her income but in Vancouver she’d be saving for 3 years to get a house down payment.

Btw there’s an online waiting list for family doctors in BC… I put myself on it and it took 2.5 years for them to offer me one, but I been offered 2 now since I left… so it’s doable but you gotta get on the list and wait. Took a ridiculous amount of time but anyone saying you “can’t” get one is just an entitled dick who wants everything to fall into their lap and won’t even take the most basic steps to make it happen for themselves.

I could have had one earlier too keeping my eye out for new practices opening up or calling around for patient openings but I didn’t care that much so I didn’t… people just love to go online and complain instead of working at anything.

To reinforce that, think about this: quite a few people I know in Calgary now that’s lived here their whole life complains that the medical system is shit, which is fucking hilarious to me given how much better it is than BC and I’ve had nothing but fantastic experiences here from allergy tests to bloodwork to vitiligo solutions (although that specialist appointment had a 3 month wait). I shake my head cuz they don’t even know what they’re bitching about or how good they have it.
