Ok Doc, then why did Mr. Williams come to America, eh? What, he was going to be in the neighborhood anyway?
Why did he go to America for treatment? Well, let’s see:
He’s the leader of a province that covers 405,720 square kilometers (157 035.47 square miles), that has a population of 505,469. The largest city in the province (St. John’s) has 100,646 people, or 19.91% of the whole population.
The state closest in size to Newfoundland and Labrador is California, at 163,696 sq mi. California is two Delawares larger in area, but has the equivalent population of ALL Canada.
Can you understand why it’s likely for such a sparsely populated place to have somewhat reduced medical amenities?
