Frequently, socialist countries that provide free healthcare, have lengthy waiting list as there are various patients needing care, consequently, making it difficult to access treatment at a reasonable time (“Healthcare wait times…, 2016:1). Many Canadians have experienced such extensive periods of delayed appointments with specialists and doctors, as from the years before, gradually the waiting times has been increasing and it 15.6 weeks in Ontario, the lowest of all the provinces, while New Brunswick has the extended time at
As the world becomes globalized, countries are trailing behind their cultures and their identity, for them to be cohesive with the Western ideal.

An impressive range of education and dedication is needed for those who desire to pursue such career, as schooling can progress till the late 20’s and early 30’s (Decker, 2016).
