the New World, I would go for it. After reading the documents about Pennsylvania from this time, I think the chance of becoming more successful than I would be in England outweighs the risks that come with relocating to an uncertain land across the ocean. If I decided to immigrate, there would be doubts and fears in my mind from all of the uncertainty that surrounds my future. The documents seem to indicate to me that Pennsylvania is the best poor mans land in America for a variety of reasons including

Furthermore, Canada has an issue with the distribution of equal health care among those in rural areas. Funding for health care is done at a provincial level based on demographics, meaning that health facilities in larger areas in a province are likely to receive more funding than a health facility in a more rural area. As a result, one living in a rural area may have to travel further distances in order to receive more quality care. In addition, Canada does not have as many hospitals compared to
