Whats better about the US compared to Canda

canada has double big macs man, which confuses the hell out of me. youd think we would be all about the double big macs here in the US.
 
buddy what are you talking about? Canadian hospitals are shady. Try american hospitals are shady. drug companies own your shit and doctors are much more likely to perscribe a medication for their patient that is produced by the drug company that supports their hospital, even if there is better or cheaper medication out there. Looking percentage wise at both canada and the united states, canadian health care is far superior for the average man then it is living in the USA. If you have the cash in the states you get the best treatment, if you pay your taxes and healthcare and canada your getting the best canada has to offer. Instead of have a platinum healthcare for the small percentage of wealthy like in the states, Canada has a gold standard for our entire population. So tell me, if you healthcare is so great how come canada was swamped last year with americans invading canada to recieved flu shots because the your medical industry screwed up and didnt order enough. Why is it that if by chance this bird flu problem become a pandemic canada had 19000000 doses of tamiflu, enough that statistcally almost everyone in canada who becomes infected with the flu should be able to get help. How many does are in the states 30000000. if this really does occur then 60-75% of american citizens could become infected. how big is your country? 295000000 about? 30000000 doeses isnt going to save alot of lives. Dont knock canadian healthcare. its a far cry from perfect but its better then what you got.
 
Well this is the most recent I could find in world health care ratings, its old year 2000. But i doubt the changes could be too drastic since then.

I believe this was one of the first times in years that Canada was not ranked #1. So the fact that we are declining means we better get our act togther.

Vancouver is one of the best cities to live in the World although we have a lot of problems it shows something CNN did a big report about it. Down Under was 1st
 
America is better country in which to be rich and a shittier country in which to be poor. better economy and higher population mean its easier to grow a business and pursue a career. but it has the greatest income disparity of any developed nation. I love canada and wouldnt trade it for anything. my parents are doctors and while we live comfortably here, they would be millionaires if we moved south. we arent greedy and much prefer a liberal society that takes care of its lower class.
 
The U.S. has a better economy, our national guard could take over Canada by themselves, lower taxes, better transportation network, better and more productive agriculture, and the list goes on and on. While there are some good conservatives in Canada, there are many more bleeding heart liberal hippies who want to restrict individual freedoms. In my eyes, the only thing Canada has going for it over the U.S. are cleaner cities and more untouched wilderness for hunting and fishing. So why don't you Canadians go fuck yourselves, eh? BTW if you still think Canada is better than the US go try to exchange your dollars for some of ours tomorrow and see how much money you get back. Then try to start a war with us.
 
I think we can all just agree to disagree. There is no way in hell I'd ever move to Canada and the same probably goes for you Canadians mvoing to the U.S.
 
well actually were under a conservative goverment now, Ipersonally dont like the idea of that, we will become allot more like the states in the year to come if we keep that governemnt, but that another topic.

As for the Canadian dollars vs the american. Yes the American dollar is strong, but whos has constantly been going up and whos has been going down?

And trying to start a war, well thats the biggest difference between canadian and americans. Thats not how we role. We march with the world not against it.

I personally think war is never the answer.
 
Ummmm what do you think is better...

a) Spending billions on a huge military budget which is "needed"

or

b) Not needing a huge military and spending money on much more important aspects of society

Personally, I'd go with b
 
There is no supersize format in Canada. That is one major thing I learned when I went to New York. I was simply amazed by the size of the supersize.It took three of us to eat the french fries.
 
Its those millions of dollars spent on the military that protects you too. Without a strong militray, what country would be the worlds leading superpower? probably china or the old soviet union. Canada doesnot need a strong army because they know the US will help them out if they are attacked.
 
^Protect you from what exactly...and don't say terrorism, because we can see that your military deosn't protect you from that. What other benefits do you get exactly from being the 'world's biggest superpower' apart from nearly every county in the middle east and beyond hating you... as you can see from the figures, being a superpower does not mean you have the best healthcare or living conditions, not does it mean your currency is stronger than anywhere elses. It's like being able to say 'i've got a big cock' but being too fat to see it.
 
how many terrorists attacks has the US suffered since we went into Iraq? Do you really think a strong militray isnt necessary?
 
How many terrorist attacks has France, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway etc etc. had ever? Not many if any at all... as they use there resources in a better way than pissing off their global neighbours.
 
Canada doesn't have Bush!

No country needs a dumb-inbred-lying-redneck-hick-cheating leader like that!

And did I mention how stupid he is.

Yeah.. That's right I'm hatin', Too late I said it!
 
You definatly never went to quebec...

we got the Best Girls, Best Bars,BEst weed, and the best skiers, plus we have the healthcare, better social care,better goverment, corruption in canada isn't as big as the lobbiying in the US and there is many other answer to it.
 
i guess the nice thing about the US is that you can think and do anything you want, because if anyone talks shit about you, you can claim they have weapons of mass destruction or that world terroism is produced from that country and then you can bomb the shit out of the homes of people whos name you can't pronounce.... and all in time for sunday football while your wife/cousin bbq's your steak.
 
I never said I didn't think we wouldn't be next. I personally think our nation will split someday, although not in the near future, because political tensions are so high between Liberals and Conservatives. No one can tell who will be next (although my money is on Isreal or Iran, and it was on Afganistan and Iraq). And you had better hope that we don't fall, because in case you didn't hear Canada is pretty reliant upon the U.S.
 
do you even know why they hate us? Its because they are not educated and can be convinced how the US is the source of all their problems. It is not our fault they are poor and we are trying to help them but since they are retarded enought to blow themselves up then why even bother?
 
Its naive to think that if you act nice then so will everybody else. Throughout history countries have been attacked for no reason at all. What did the US do to deserve 9/11? What did poland do to deserve hitler? Just because your acting passivly, doesnt mean everybody else will too.
 
Yes. Exactly. And like I've said before, I invented a working tiger repellent. Seriously, it's awesome. Want to buy a case?
