Canada is a peaceful freedom loving country, whereas America hates freedom, and is a facist warmongering redneck filled shitpile?

And a university system that doesn't cost an arm and a leg (yet).

And it has CBC and Hockey Night in Canada. And the Nature of Things with Dr. Suzuki.

It also has this awesome ghost town called Uranium City with free native squatters!

And the French.

US movies that come to Canada and have "war" in the title have the word removed before distribution.

Canada's taxes is too high compared to U.S.

20 Name: dmpk2k!hinhT6kz2E : 2006-09-08 06:44 ID:Heaven

Out of boredom I once calculated the tax burden of a typical Canadian (provincial and federal) and American (state and federal).

It's a lot more complicated than you'd think, so my results weren't definitive. However, for what it's worth: on average, Canadians paid a mere ~2% more, which was far smaller than I had thought given the rhetoric.

It appears that the belief that Canadian taxes are too high relative to the US is unfounded, at least for ye olde average person. Then consider what Canadians get for their money.

Results may differ for high-income and corporate personsentities. You know, the only people who matter, not the rest of us.

The biggest different is that of healthcare:

1) In America, you pay for your own medical treatment, you get what you put in.

2) In Canada, everyone gets to wait months of the socialized healthcare to kick in!

"In America, you pay for your own medical treatment, you get what you put in." No, you pay through a ridiculously complex system, and then you pay overhead costs to prevent your private insurance company from taking your premiums on bureaucratic snafu and red tape. America has the most expensive health care anywhere and the most overhead costs. This is because of red tape both in government and in private companies - privatization will not be enough.

I'd say that what makes Canada different is that Canada is more to the left of the US, more socially liberal and more stable social programs. Canada accepts multicultural differences instead of trying to assimilate people.

In Canada, you pay more dollars for the same thing.

Canada wants to help they Environment, with the Kyoto Accord ect. America(Who pollutes the most) does nothing, thus equaling a dirty place.

America also has super wal-marts that are open all night. That is messed up.

Canada is just a suburb of America. A bunch of white people who say they are accepting of other races but are really afraid and ignorant of them. Visible minority in Canada is ~13% as in America it is about ~25%.

It's nice to see that manifest destiny is alive and well.

Canada is pretty much a bilingual english/french speaking version of the new england states. Basically largely secular and largely socialistic.

The fact that Canada actually had to decide whether or not they wanted Sharia law says otherwise.

That's not to say that America has its own muslim problem, Canada just has a higher per capita population of practicing muslims.

Or maybe that Canadians are more permissive?

Professed Muslims make up 2% of the population: http://www40.statcan.ca/l01/cst01/demo30a.htm

Has Ontario allowed Sharia tribunals? If not, what's the problem?

I think USA and Canada should be one nation.

Americanada!!!

42 Name: Citizen : 2006-12-16 17:35 ID:buf6Avur

The Canadians have a certain nationalism that prevents them from doing this. I expect that Quebec will be independent before even whisperings of union reach the Canadians.

43 Name: Citizen : 2006-12-16 19:11 ID:f9Yw61LO

Northern US is a lot like Canada. The Southern US is more like retards though. And California is like it's own planet.

Also Americans pronounce the last letter of the alphabet like "ZEE"

44 Name: Citizen : 2006-12-18 16:35 ID:yePbPyNY

California is a mindset. It's hard to understand, but if you were born here you'd think like us too. Basically, our mindset is that since statistically, we're the best state in the country and also something like the seventh largest economy in the world, we have considered the rest of the country as worthless and all the other states just bog us down. California is probably two to three Mayor steps away from being it's own country anyways..

Canadians have more firearms in personal possession, are a hell of a lot less murders. Go figure!

46 Name: Citizen : 2006-12-23 17:47 ID:buf6Avur

>>45
What? Last I checked, Canada had something like 32 million people, versus America's 300 million. America also has something like ~100 million registered firearms. What's Canada's figure?

47 Name: Citizen : 2006-12-24 00:30 ID:RfSfqX1h

This is >>45.

Per Capita, I mean.

Taking account for population Canada has far less murders than America even though there are more guns in peoples hands.

48 Name: Citizen : 2006-12-24 17:32 ID:buf6Avur

>>47

Ok, I see what you mean. The problem is that most of our heavily urban areas have stricter gun laws, and, as a result, our crime rate skyrockets. I'm sure many Canadians would agree with this particular slogan: An Armed Citizen is a Safe Citizen.

> The problem is that most of our heavily urban areas have stricter gun laws, and, as a result, our crime rate skyrockets.

Could you explain the reasoning behind this statement?

50 Name: Citizen : 2006-12-25 05:18 ID:XbiMIYHV

This is >>47

Did i make a mistake in my grammar?

What i meant to say was that, even though Canadians have more guns (per capita), their crime rate is well under what it is in the USA (taking into account of population).

That said, I'd hate to live in some 3rd world place in South America where crime is rift (sorry, I know this is off topic).

Prostitution is legal in Canada.

Americans, as a whole, are too hippocratic to acknowledge the need for this necessary profession (with few exceptions).

"Hippocratic" eh? "First do no harm"?
