I still use Opera 11.60 which may have been their last "decent" browser. Doesn't work for every site, but for some it's great. They should call their new company BadIdeas because that seems to be all they've come up with for years.
As long as I can remember just about everything in Canada is 20-30% more than in the U.S.. Sometimes 50% more, it varies as our dollar goes up and down like a yo-yo. Which we expect. The Bell-Rogers-Telus bunch just shove it in a little further.
Although I'm in the other end of the country right now, have lived in Vancouver before. If you're in the lower mainland you have pretty good access to health care. The rest of the province not so much. Ditto for the rest of the country, it's a crap shoot that they're not too busy and that they have the right doctor when needed. And if you don't have the extra private insurance from work or buying it yourself you're getting second rate treatment.
Health care varies greatly across the country with different rules and regulations
in different provinces. Often it's a spin of the wheel as to whether you're covered.
And Canadians are no sicker or healthier than Americans. In fact I suspect the above poster has been hit in the head more than once by a hockey puck as little of what was stated is true. My experience where I live is a 6-8 hour wait at the hospital for anything. And there was a story in the news last year which said
that if you get a cancer diagnosis you better have $50k for "incidentals". When someone says free health care or free anything it's rarely true.
There's nothing better on a cold winter's night than a freshly home brewed coffee and beating his dick to free porn like it just stole his microsoft dividend check.
Most areas have friendly neighborhood prostitutes who you can harass for very reasonable rates, perhaps $25 to $150. The more things change the more they stay the same.
There's at least 60% of the population in the job market. Which is at a minimum 200 million so it's close to 1/10th of one percent. Significant? And you pretty well have to take employment figures as unsubstantiated because who other than the gov't knows how many people are working? You're taking it on trust.
Hope they're enjoying their warm weather. You have to take the good with the bad. Didn't the U.S. steal it from the Indians or Mexicans anyways? Bad karma?
I prefer to see the humor in the concept of a universal basic income. The point remains high markets, low unemployment and no sympathy for how the working people are faring. Where have you been for the past thirty five years? The working people are fucked. It's survival of the fittest now.
Stock market at an all time high, unemployment lowest in years, new tax bill igniting the economy, deregulation across the board and a fine group of level headed honest folks in Washington. Who needs a UBI. In a couple years you'll all be tired of winning. Lucky bastards;^)

Actually I was trolling for dickheads and think I caught one!

I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords.

Maybe we should be spending our money on cleaning up the mess we made on this planet before we start planning on ruining others.
Like they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I hate hospitals.

Sacrifices have to be made in order to pay for the next royal wedding. And then in a couple of years the next royal divorce.

God appears to be repossessing it.
Woulda, shoulda, coulda. The horse is out of the barn now.

Tell him that very few people live up to the expectations placed upon them by the law.
Sorry about that.
This true for all currency. It only has value because you believe it does.
Do you think in The Walking Dead the US Dollar is still used? ;-) No. You buy things with force, food, gas, sex, cigarettes, and alcohol.
When things go sideways, ammunition will be the new coin of the realm.
As a Canadian I'd like to apologize for our name being so difficult for you to spell.
How about they send Tony Bennett up there and see if they all catch herpes.

Daughter: Mom, is it possible to get pregnant from anal sex?
Mother: Of course you can. Where do you think lawyers come from?

Trump just forked the CIA. Sort of like LibreOffice and OpenOffice but with guns.
