MrOctober said:I realize that we are going bit off-topic here, but here are my three cents on this debate.
The cornerstone of any socitey's success -- and welfare of its people -- depends primarly on the accessibility and provision of three things to its citizens on an equal basis:
1) Food -- In Canada, the average bill of the basic food items -- meats, vegetables, milk, fruit etc -- for a person is around $150 a month. Even a person working on a minimum wage can afford these items (assuming a minium wage salary of $400 a week). Now you tell me, how much a laborer makes in Pakistan? 300 rupees a day? How can this person afford to pay for meat or even milk for his family when a single liter of milk can cost up to 70 rupees.
2) Health -- Yes, in Pakistan, you can have very easy access to private health care -- but only if you can afford high bills of the mony-sucking doctors. Poor people can only afford to be pushed around in pulic hospitals, where they are treated like second-class citizens. In Canada, too, the health system is far from perfect -- with long delays for some procedures. But at least, the core of th heatlh system is based on on equality. Anybody can see a family physician, without having to pay a cent. Even the wealthiest people can't jump the queues to see specialists, and they have to look to the US or abroad.
3) Public Education -- One only have to see how many poor kids of school-age can be seen working in auto shops or dishwashing in restuatants or toiling in agriculture fields. We can only lament the state of public education in Pakistan: schools with no basic infrastructure, poorly educated teachers themselves, vilages with no high schools. In Canada, on the other hand, the free and equal accessibility to primay and secondary education is the key element of public policy. The literacy rate of close to 100% is a testament to the success of public education. In Canda, every kid gets the same oppurtunity and platform for basic education and government loans will be available for every student for pursuing higher education.
I know we can complain about favoritism -- or napotisim -- in Canada. Here 'safarish' is replaced with references, but at least in Canada, the basic oppurtunities are available to every citizen. If you work hard, the rewards will follow sooner or later. I have never come across anybody in Canada who has university or college education and been without work for a long time. What about Pakistan? Rishwat or nepotisim will get you the job regardless of your educational competencies-- otherwise, good luck.

raptorsfan said:Yeh...but people forget their values here...the kids grow old and then do batameezi with their parents...kyon keh unkay andar suar ka ghosht hota hain jo wo bahir khatay hain...the parents can't say n e thing back b/c the kids have all the nitty gritty "rights" to do what they want...pakistan hota na toh doh kaan keh neechay deh kay aulad ko line peh latay parents...no doubt Canada is giving all these goodie goodie facilities but this Canadian system teaches you attitude and arrogance against parents...and this starts in high school...aur yeh hain yahoodi sazish...another note...for all this GOODIE GOODIE facilities....we pay TAXES...i didn't see the word taxes even once in ur essay...
I dunno whether u got ur citizenship yet or not...but in the Citizenship oath they say that "we will help our fellow Canadian"....now...I am driving and there is road block ahead but I don't know...a person from the incoming traffic side could tell me that "oh just turn from this road here and don't go ahead...there is a traffic block"....but no...no1 is going to help out the other...now lets look at a similar situation in Pakistan....In september there was a lot of rain in Karachi....I was passing by the old airport area...the road was flooded and there was traffic block...every person from the incoming traffic kept telling us "aagay raasta band hain"...now this is akhlaq...
now..i didn't say rich or poor...i said pakistan is an amazing place to live if 1 is making a lot of money and has lots of money...In fact I know a few people here who work for 6 months and then live in Karachi for 6 months...they have an amazing Condo in Clifton...aiyashi ki life hain...I know a few who permanently moved to pak from here and are making 4 lakhs/month and they have house in DHA....
Yes, we have the facility here...but we pay for it via Taxes....I think u r new to Canada....as far as rishwat goes....In Toronto, Ontario Drive Test Centre...there is no bigger place....There are many tamil and desi instructors who work with the Examiners and all it takes is $1200 for G license. We now have incompetent and risky drivers on the road. They are not a threat just to themselves but to other drivers as well.
Now u r probably wondering "why are u here?, go to pakistan then" I would....I am only here b/c I live with my parents...my parents brought me here...and I can't leave them...jab chirya ka bacha chirya ka ghosla chorth keh chala jaata hain toh chirya ko kitna dukh hota hain...this is the place for my parents...i m here b/c they want me close to them....otherwise i would be in Pakistan...with a good job...nice car...naukar...driver...bavarchee...everything....even here mashallah seh i have a good job...a small business for self...nice car...parents house is hugeeee...but...there is no sukoon...i grew up here....came here in 1996....seen my parents struggle...pakistan lifestyle was something else...Canada can't beat Defense and Clifton...
