Lonestar, what is your problem with Canada?
Anytime someone mentions Canada you have something negative to say about our northern neighbors.
What have they done to piss you off?
Canada, IMO, is a far better country than the US.
They have taken the American ideas of freedom and liberty for all, and done a much better job of implementing, it than we have.

That myth is a topic for a different thread (although there are only about a hundred and eighty such threads scattered through the archives of this forum already), but any perceived evils of Capitalism are certainly no danger to Canadians
The same can be said about America. "Any perceived evils of Canada's Socialism are certainly no danger to America"
If you don't like their government don't live there.
Bashing their government only makes you look childish and immature

Dude, I don't think anyone is disagreeing with the points that your making.
What people are tired of hearing is, you and lonestar, pissing and moaning about Canada.
GET OVER IT ALREADY!
We get, that you don't like the Canadian government. Good for you. You have the option of NOT living there. Problem solved.
I personally could care less about how the Canadians govern themselves. It makes NO difference in how I live my life.
If the Canadians are paying high taxes, that they voted for.......why are you bitching.
If you truly want to change the Canadian government. Move back to Canada and start your own Capitalistic campaign.
To constantly piss and moan about a government that your no longer part of...... makes you look immature......not intelligent.
Its starting to sound like, you liked living in Canada but didnt like having to pay the high taxes.

Do you honestly think that there are NO terrorist here in America 
I would be FAR more worried about our southern border than our northern one. It IS patrolled, and people are FLOODING across that border.
A Saudi will pass as a Mexican quicker than he would a Canadian
Besides, how is bashing their health care system, going to stop some terrorist from entering thru Canada?
Pissing and moaning about Canada isn't going to change anything. If you TRULY want to change the Canadian government.....move there and start your own Capitalistic Campaign to make Canada into a Mini-America

Phred said: Of course, if the article was about America... hey, no problem! Piss and moan all you want. Over and over and over again. Because of course America is different. We never get tired of pissing and moaning about America. Besides, pissing and moaning about America can be a group activity. Everyone can play.
How is pointing out problems in MY government wrong. I believe that I can make a difference in MY government by speaking to my representatives and voting (which I do).
Crying, about how another government is being run, dosent help that government change.

I also have the option of trying to change the parts of our government I dont like. The bitching, your doing about Canada, isnt changing anything.

If you live in the US then you should care more about your own government that you do about Canadas 
Quote:
But I don't want to change it. It can't be changed because too many Canadians are complacent and perfectly content with their lack of freedom and liberty.
From what I have heard from other people living in Canada it dosent seem to be that bad, or they would make changes to the system.
Quote:
As you can see from reviewing the comments of our Canadian contributors, they value the illusion of security and their ideal of forced 'equality" more than they value their personal freedom.
um...lets see, they havent got Muslim raticals trying to kill them they are allowing civil rights to people that we don't they don't have the DEA itching to get in their personal business
You right they are doing a much worse job in the security and civil right area than we are, my appologies 
Quote:
And that makes the Canadians and Euros in this forum who bitch about America look mature and intelligent?
I dont see Canada trying to invade countries on trumped up charges either.
Quote:
Are you an American? Do you bitch about America? Why don't you leave it and live somewhere else?
Because I believe that I can make a difference in how our government is run.
Are you saying, that moving away and bitching is a better option?
Quote:
If I had stayed in Canada I would be financially independent by now. I'd be retired with a nice house and a damn good chunk of change invested. Yes, even with the confiscatory taxes I could have amassed a million bucks or so in the last seventeen and a half years, and that's enough to retire on.
So, the taxation system isnt that bad afterall.
Quote:
Instead I came to a third-world country and ran a break-even windsurfing business, then worked six years as a bartender/ bar manager for anywhere between six hundred and twelve hundred bucks a month. I have nowhere near a million bucks and I'm not in a position to retire.
So, you would rather work than retire?
Quote:
I know it's hard for many to understand, but there are people in this world who act out of principle.
What freedoms do you have in America that you didn't have in Canada?
