"The average income (after expenses) of a family physician in Canada is about $100,000."
and in the US
"Doctorate
Mean:72,099
Male: 77,815
Female: 55,041"
So convert 100,000 from Canadian Dollars, and they make about 78,000.
So conisdering that these are very tenative numbers, we can guesstimate that doctors are pretty much paid between 70,000 and 80,000 in both the US and Canada.

We're also pretty darn arrogant, pretty darn annoying, pretty darn self-absorbed, pretty darn pessimistic, pretty darn hated by everyone else. (I'm talking about hated by people, not by governments).
I'd take New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Germany, France, Spain, Canada, Greenland, Iceland, England, Scotland, Ireland, Switerland, or Sweden anyday over the US.
