    No there's just less hentai in Canada, and more consumers of hentai in the United States; it's not illegal according to any statute here, we just don't have as many pervs as you do.

    That and we'd rather preoccupy ourselves with the Real Thing!

    Some are "More equal" than others; well at least according to the OECD, IMF, and a few other institutions.

    Shhh don't tell them we liked Obama more, he's a closet communist, reminds us of early Canadians; And we are a quasi-socialist welfare state! He's going to spend lots and lots of money, the trick to doing socialism well is to reduce the class gap; but also don't deficit spend into oblivion. I bet you can't guess which consulting firms will get the policy bids on Merx? Oh yeah did I mention Merx is a Canadian site?

    You are so wrong it's funny; They will pass marketing campaigns on government funded vehicles, think easy access to Nutritional information on all your packaging? (Oh wait you already have that?) And higher taxes on consumeables that are bad for you (like cigarettes and alcohol!).

    There are lots of lists for waiting on specialty medicine however if your life is in danger there is no wait, so often Canadians will complain of chest pains and then when they see a doctor ask about their actual issue :D

    It's called chain of custody and if they were controling and handing out passwords then they would be able to "Log all and any access" which means they'll have a long trail when that computers logs go to chain of custody; i hope he's got a good lawyer.

    Exactly, it's a matter of spending the money to setup Mental institutions for these people. You can have them camp on your streets or we can pay for them to remain incarcerated; either way there are systems to help them in place (as opposed to no systems at all). Which is a far cry from downtown detroit, and the urban decay issues you see in the u.s..

    Actually they want people with educations over anything else and if you are from the united states; Nafta works both ways. (ie; you only need to be skilled labour the degree counts). As for Jobs we still have a labour shortage across the board and about 60% of our economy will survive the downturn. As for your Chrons you'd be invited to stay in any prvoince that would enjoy your skills. A good idea is to apply to jobs and get one first then they haven't a choice; there are no protectionist laws stating that they have to hire local citizens over foreign ones; As for the shiester; they want the sponsor to cover you for the first three months; after that it's no biggie and if you need to see a doctor it's about $120 for the visit. Also prescription drugs are cheaper the best way to cover yourself is to use blue cross or blue shield whilst you are waiting for your provincial health care plant to take effect (6 months of residence).

    We've had public health care for years in Canada, our social security is better and we are a welfare state, you can join the club too it's a lot nicer on the other side; we don't turn the aged away because they cannot afford medical service, we actually have a huge booming retirment industry; oh and did I mention that we keep crazy people off the street by giving them money (and possibly preventing them from harming others)....just a thought. Oh and after these bailouts, our tax bracket will be even lower than yours ;) 99% of your inmates should have had medical attention but now you get to pay for them for the rest of their known lives. ~Bullets and electrictity are far cheaper than re-education. Now remember everyone belongs to everyone else, repetition is key. (Of course if Russia invades we are turning to you to save us :'( )
