You know the profession better than I. I'm not really interested in a pitched battle. I am only aware of the hourly billing rates for a national firm, also global firm (and it shocked me...I worked for such firms. But then, they didn't need to have offices in one of the most expensive areas of Toronto.)
Here's a Canadian lawyer who was also journalist editor for a well-read, cited Canadian national law newspaper for lawyers. Because he has inside knowledge how the legal world operates: http://www.law21.ca/
I did work for a national law firm, where students did do Internet searches this is in the area of IP law....honest it was a way for the firm to drum up wee business with a major corporate client.
Enuff said. (It's not surprising why some lawyers left practicing law...but for a variety of other reasons also.)
Canadian medical system is very different from the U.S. (thank goodness). However catastrophic permanent disability is costly care.
