It's better now, but now Canada also has shit like: "tired of waiting? try assisted suicide".
The US might have high standard costs but at least you have the option to pay for better than standard.

Canada doesn't have that. That is based on a quote from some fired vetren affairs employee.
> But human rights advocates say the country’s regulations lack necessary safeguards, devalue the lives of disabled people and are prompting doctors and health workers to suggest the procedure to those who might not otherwise consider it.
> Equally troubling, advocates say, are instances in which people have sought to be killed because they weren’t getting adequate government support to live.
> Euthanasia “cannot be a default for Canada’s failure to fulfill its human rights obligations,” said Marie-Claude Landry, the head of its Human Rights Commission.
> Landry said she shares the “grave concern” voiced last year by three U.N. human rights experts, who wrote that Canada’s euthanasia law appeared to violate the agency’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They said the law had a “discriminatory impact” on disabled people and was inconsistent with Canada’s obligations to uphold international human rights standards.
> Tim Stainton, director of the Canadian Institute for Inclusion and Citizenship at the University of British Columbia, described Canada’s law as “probably the biggest existential threat to disabled people since the Nazis’ program in Germany in the 1930s.”
This is a huge problem, and it's one of the reasons that I say Canada is definitely not a perfect solution. I agree with you here.

For a lot of people this is becoming less true over time, depending on where you live. Today there are states where no amount of money can buy you a (legal) abortion, and states where no amount of money can get your child gender affirming care. Tomorrow traveling for that care might be a felony too.
It seems reasonable that if someone is in a position to move to Canada, they are probably in a position to move to California, New York, or some other safer state, but I understand why people might opt to leave the US altogether.
States that do allow your _child_ to get that kind of care are the outlier, not the norm and match the situation in most of the rest of the world. In most of the rest of the world there is an age requirement and usually it's at least 16 and parental consent is still required usually.
And that's a good thing. These people who advocate for the medical and surgical mutilation of children for gender fantasies have completely lost the plot. Cult mentality.
Not every state is Florida. Nobody in the government is targeting me for my identity here.
The fact that you can sponsor your family (parents, etc) is huge.
There's certainly more requirements and limitations placed on you than you may be used to, put in place to ensure everyone else's right to safety isn't infringed upon. It's okay if you're not willing to abide by such restrictions, either by following them or by giving up your guns. That's totally your choice. It just means our country is not compatible with your chosen lifestyle.
To each their own. Canada makes mildly different choices than the usa. If you like them great. If you don't, that is cool too, but maybe you shouldn't move here. There is nothing wrong with that, different people like different things.
