The Ministry of Health office in Hamilton is located on the 10th floor of a downtown office building. It is here that people can renew their health card, record a change of address or, in my case, register as a new resident to Canada.
[Short interlude to allow one big cheer for socialised health care \o/]
I entered the building and headed to the elevator with a gentleman who had obviously made this journey many many times before:
Man: These people are hopeless! If you were born here, they'll do nothing for you. Nothing.
Me: I wasn't.
Man: .... Oh. Then you'll probably be fine.
As indeed, I was.
