Actually they're pretty good at it, just don't always run around doing it because the US does.

I have to agree with you here. I did some work about 3 years back with JTF2 and they are some top notch soldiers. Canadas history of combat is well founded in just about every conflict the US has had. Im glad you guys are our neighbors.

That's right.....no way in hell our health care is free, you should see how much the gov't takes off our pay checks.

Taxes are porportional to income, and are everywhere; they are higher in many places.
I feel very fortunate to live in a country where everyone is entitled to the same level of a basic human right, and where one's income does not dictate whether or not they live or die.
We have a wonderful social safety net to catch the unfortunate. Yes, it gets abused sometimes, but blame the abusers, not the system itself. I'm glad that it's there, regardless.
Peace of mind is priceless.

Ummm when was the last time you had a job ha ha ha there has been no deduction off paychecks for years now...they say that the "employer" pays for it. In Ontario we pay EHT...employers health tax...based on overall payroll. So your not getting paid as much as you "might" be able to but the expense is bore by the employer on your behalf. Not entirely sure about the other provinces.

Of note, a good employment offer always includes a drug/dental plan. Again paid for on behalf of the employee. Usually costs a chunk of change...somewhere around 12000 a year per employee. It beefs up the medical service you get, pays for most of your drugs (otherwise you get generic drugs you can afford to pay for) and pays for dental and eye glasses etc.

Saying Canada has free healthcare is like saying the US has free roads but then not noticing how much gasoline tax you pay at the pump to pay for the roads.

That being said, if Canada had Mexico's weather I would be moving in a fuckin' heartbeat.

They actually have more strict laws against CP than the US, but without the nonsense of 2257. They seem to get along without shooting each other, they don't send you to prison for having the smell of pot on your breath, and they haven't let the Jesus Christ Fan Club take over their government. If only they could turn up the heat......

Canada rocks. Its on our short list of countries to move to. If only if was further south. I would like to know the legal implications of this though as it wont be possible to follow one law without breaking another. Anyone have any ideas?

Your right its not free, its attached to taxes which means based on income. Rich pay more then poor if you think of it that way. The system used to be much better whereby in time of need you do not think about who is going to pay. All people have the right to the same level of health care and no one is ever afraid at that moment that they would have to stay home vs getting the help they need. The system is over taxed at the moment as we have a bizzilian baby boomers going thru it. It might just max out, our biggest concern is not enough doctors and in some places nurses. We are increasing our medical schools and cutting deals whereby they must stay in a rural canadian city for a number of years in order to get a reduction in their tuition etc. Access to service is no longer a given and those of us who are mid to upper income often travel to the US to pay-as-you-die facilities.

Call us "white bread" if you wish Jim but Canadians are, on average, a much more advanced society. We are not bohunkles and beer drinkers. We have an amazingly tollerant society were people do not go around shooting each other. We are not self destructing and we still feel good about our political leaders.

Being proud of your country should not include the need to put down another, especially if you have no fucking clue what your talking about.

Example....I love and hate parts of the US and for all the superficial reasons you can guess...hate detroit because I have always heard that if you get caught in the wrong neighbourhood.....love florida because there is endless sun. Of course both of those places have upsides and downsides. It would be laughable if I went on and on about how Florida was the ONLY place to live and everywhere else was "white bread".

Canada has cold winters but its over 95F here these days. Cold winters but amazingly warm hearts....
