Muffin, we don't have to pay to go to the hospital or see a Doctor in Canada either, our healthcare is covered by our taxes. Canada is run very much the same as Britain. We are a Monarchy here aswell, we have a Prime minister, and members of parliament. The Queen visits every now and again, she is also the Queen of Canada, I knpow their is a more proffesional way of explaining it, but I don't know it..
. My family is United empire Loyalists, my family faught in the rebellion, but stayed loyal to the Queen, so now we get the tiltle of U.E.L, after our name. Hope you know what I am speaking of, or I just sound like a fool..
.Anyway, our system is the same here, our youth jails are exactly what you describe, we don't need to pay to see the doctor, our justice system is a joke, a life sentence here is 25 years, but you only have to serve a third, but get out at 10 years served, that's what you get for murder, 10 stinkin years. A bail amount you only have to pay 10%, so a $5000 bail, you only pay $500, what a deterant, please. There is just too much to complain about with our system, the whole Goverment is a joke.
