In Camelot in days of yore, King Arthur and the Knights of the Roundtable maintained the balance by keeping dragons in check. In Canada today no such checks and balances exist and as a result per capita, no other country in the world has more lawyers. There exist more than 10,000 lawyers in British Columbia, more than 20,000 in Quebec and more than 30,000 in Ontario. Alberta has just under 9000. Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia have just over 2000. Manitoba just under 2000. New Brunswick just under 1500. There are a couple of thousand lawyers dispersed throughout the rest of the Provinces and Territories for a grand total of more than 80,000 Canadian lawyers. Congratulations Canada! We're Number One!! There is one lawyer for every 369 Canadians – Oh Canada. Where is the Pied Piper when you need him? The U.S. is second - having one lawyer for every 390 residents. In Japan the ratio is one lawyer for every 10,000. OH! CANADA. By the way, there are fewer than 50,000 Canadian doctors. |
