During and after 9/11, it was made clear that many Canadians, as well as other countries, are not fond of America, to put it mildly....judging by some of the Canadian posts that 'we deserved it'.

I live about three hours from the Canadian border and I love the city of Vancouver, BC. I've always been treated well by the Canadians I know and I simply don't see why we are not peacefully friendly toward each other.

As to the health care system, having been a member of the medical profession in a former life, I've seen plenty of private pay insurance card holders suffer from wrong limb amputation, general medical fuck ups, etc....

And, yes, it is true that any hospital in the US that receives federal funding must put aside beds for the indigent.....which means everyone gets treatment.

There is one difference, however, between Canada, Germany, England and the US.

The Canadian health care system can deny treatment based on age. If your mother needs a new heart valve and she's 83, she will not be put in the front of the line; whereas in the US, she could be.

That being said, I believe that the US and Canada are both awesome countries, with their own special differences and similiarities.
