Thanks for the kind words about the Canadian healthcare system. Unfortunately, we're not as centralised as we could be: healthcare is a provincial jurisdiction, so while the federal government offers funding in exchange for meeting the requirements of the Canada Health Act, most of the cost and all of the final policy decisions happen at the provincial level.

That means that while all provinces and territories meet minimum requirements, you will often get better and more advanced cancer treatment in a richer province (e.g. Ontario, BC, Alberta) than you will in a poorer one (e.g. New Brunswick, Saskatchewan). In Toronto, Ottawa, or Calgary, you can often get (free) oncology care comparable to that at Mayo or the Cleveland Clinic in the U.S.; in Saskatoon or Fredericton (or even Montreal), not so much. 😕
