The same thought occured to me. Perhaps it run a bit differently here in Canada as well. Since not all regions are covered, you simply pick which region you want to be in. I can't get a number for where I live, but I can get a number for two major cities around me. Downside to that though is any call a person makes to me would end up becoming long distance to them whereas I could get a package with unlimited North American long distance for a decent rate.
I'm an American, and I think Canada is better. Too bad it's so cold or I'd move there. Really.
On average I see 3 days of snow a year. That's hardly cold. Although this winter we actually did get a big snowfall which shut things down for a day, but that was replaced with 10+C temperatures. Even the ski hills here have had to close because it's too warm and there's no snow.
After reading this, it's no wonder a lot of the world hates the States. It's those of you who have no respect for other cultures/nations/etc. that are causing it. Not saying that the states is the only country that does this though. I've known Canadians too who have done this (although the states is a lot bigger, therefore being heard more); it sicken's me how ignorent people are. I do not believe/. was created with the intent of having flame wars like "my country's better than yours".
I'd be surprised if this reply does not get any "childish" responses.

Look; don't get me wrong. No country wants to let in hordes of convicted criminals/terrorists/whatever;
It's pretty well known that Canada takes in foreign criminals, terrorists, and et cetera.

This does apply to just more than Europe though. In Canada our Conservatives are seen similar to that of the Democrats in the US.
