  • My experience is that GPs vary wildly in quality of care but I do believe that there is pretty wide support from them to be able to provide diagnosis. The situation is now at a point that the backlog is overflowing into the hospital and mental health wards and putting more pressure on the already buckling healthcare system.

    I haven’t been diagnosed with ADHD but I was looking into it a few years ago and had a 9 month wait for an expensive psych. Found out it was a tumor causing my problems, so I didn’t move forward with the diagnosis.













  • From what I have read in the past, there are different models that different coops follow. Most have a limit on the number of dwellings, both from the government and coop planning, if they have hit the max number you would have to purchase from an existing member. From the coop properties I’ve looked at, they can be well below market rate but that’s because you are buying into a community and there are expectations and responsibilities not found in non-coop living. A little like American HOAs.

    There are some coops that have strict requirements to join, like womens only coops or some that follow certain beliefs(environmental, political or spiritual and some can feel a bit cult-like). You can’t demand market rates when you have such heavy restrictions and demands of property owners.
