    Canada Versus America

    Post by Just Because on Thu Oct 30, 2008 8:45 pm

    We needed a new argument thread.

    Canada is a better place to live
    -We have universal health care
    -We are safer
    -We aren't as crowded
    -We have a better rep. on the world stage

    Some of that is our fault, and some of it isn't.

    -Your health care program is very flawed.

    -You don't have to deal with so many minorities.

    -Go to Wyoming.

    -You got us there. That's not our fault though.

    1. Every health care program is flawed in some way. Our problems are shortages of doctors compared to people. Everyone gets seen by a doctor, you just have to wait the 5 extra mins. (obviously exceptions are made for emergencies) A lot of families in the states can't see a doctor at all because they don't have insurance. And if they do see a doctor your insurance may not cover it and suddenly a broken leg costs you $1000's of dollars.

    2. We have minorities, we have gangs. The Toronto downtown and surrounding area has 4million ppl in it. That rivals a lot of your cities. Except your cities, with a similar population might have 600 murders a year while we have 60.

    3. Go to Nunavut

    4. You bomb the shit out of people and act like the world revolves around you guys, how is it not your fault?

    And remember: we are bigger and we are on top. If we were in prison you guys would be our bitch.

    Reasons why Canada sucks:
    1. Universal health care
    2. Nothing happens in Canada
    3. Nobody lives in Canada
    4. Nobody in the world cares about Canada

    Obviously a negative, since it was a continuation of my previous list of reasons why Canada sucks.

    And mounties, you should throw that in there. haha I love them.

    I have nothing against Canada, It has some really pretty areas I would like to visit. Like New Brunswick or New Foundland, it looks so Eh'. haha

    But I disagree and agree about your health care opionion. My mom has some friends somewhere up there (I forget) and the complain about it all the time. Mostly how they cant see a doctor for like 5 months for something really simple, or really serious. But you dont seem to think it works that way which confuses me confused .

    And dont bring up the size thing, considering 1/3* of it isn't even occupied (I'm just guessing but I'm sure its somewhere around that). But you are right about a lot less murders, we have gun control and anger issues.

    -Universal health care sucks. We have it as well. Aka waiting until your cancer has progressed until a life threatening stage until you are allowed treatment. 6 month waiting lists and so on.
    -Yup, got to love safe countries.
    -Yeah, I can vouch that uncrowdedness rules.
    -Isn't that kind of hard to judge from your own country? (I was going to say 'we have even better Wink)

    Universal healthcare means higher taxes, in the end it is just like paying for insurance if your middle class, the only people it really works for is the lowest class because of how the tax works. The government then spend more money on surgeries and other initiatives in the poorer areas because of the belief of regeneration etc.
    So in the end its not really that great

    OMG YOU CREATE HOCKEY! THAT IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN MAKING CARS AND LIGHTBULBS AND BASICALLY EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS.

    But yeah Hockey is really important point of why Canada is better than the USA.

    Just a few minor things like the computer, telephone, tv, internet, world wide web, and twinkies. The only good things Canada has ever given us are a hat and syrup.
