Canada where every other car is a BMW or Benz according to Socks

Damn, that's nuts.

all this hate on Canadians...

I live in an all White ultra suburban development with a Country Club and Yacht Club. The biggest crime around here is women who don't pick up their dog's shit and past prime bitches wearing bikinis at the club pool.

There are trailer parks in the US but I can't see any from here.

I'm a huge fan of the Trailer Park Boys but I have to say, I can't remember the last TV show in the US located in one. Just sayin.

Interesting post Mutt.

When we speak on ICQ or in e-mail and do business together you're a nice guy. But now I'm a "fucking idiot" because I disagree with you. I never called you any names. We were having a discussion about things other than ourselves I thought.

Here on GFY us Canadians are outnumbered, because well, in life there's 10 Americans for every 1 Canadian, it only stands to reason. We deal with a good amount of abuse for just existing.

We get your American TV channels, your news, your companies coming here, and we travel a lot there. We enjoy our independence, and truly don't mind to not be part of your union.

You know that comparing home prices is an exercise in futility, because you've just gone through the biggest housing crash in recent world history. I guess you're proud of all the value that was wiped off the table? I guess it's *bad* that our homes have retained their value somehow? You're looking at it from the POV of the buyers only, and not the sellers...

It's true that home prices here are out of control, especially in Vancouver which has seen some correction this year. Home prices in the GTA where I live continue to climb.

All I'm saying is that for me and my family, we're happy to be Canadians living in this beautiful city with low crime, low violence, high prosperity, high prices, etc. It's clean, it's safe, and people get along with each other from all backgrounds.

It's not all roses, but it's better than most from my experience.

The time it takes to get an MRI? I have no idea. I'm fairly sure if you gave most Americans the choice of an expensive MRI now or a free MRI with a bit of a wait, that 90% would choose the free route. The 10% are either rich or very in need.

I do know that we prioritize for people who need one immediately.

I also know that doctors, lawyers, judges - they don't get special treatment. They wait in line like the rest of us.

I can guess that your MRI machines are more available because there's less people willing to pay to get one, and doctors aren't giving them out to anyone who needs one - only those who can and will pay for one... Here the doctors do most every test you need, because why wouldn't they.

But anyway. Both systems have pluses and minuses. I'm stuck in my system without a choice, you're stuck in yours. Both of us had 0 say in the matter.

When I drive to work I see a lot of fancy cars on the road, many of whom can't really afford them. But with leasing and financing and hoards people who define themselves by the opinions of strangers, there's a lot of nice cars here. Make of that what you will. When I re-read my original post it does seem a bit over the line, my apologies. We have lots of Toyota Tercels, Chevy Geos and Sunfires too.

I love the USA, and I love my country too. There's room for both.

PS: As a Torontonian, if we want to pay for an MRI, it's an hour drive to Buffalo.

Thanks!!!

Lol good one

I LOVE Canada and would move to Toronto in a heartbeat if it wasn't such a pain in the ass to deal with paperwork.

its 1.0430cnts, adjusted rate, I think. Its got on peak rate winter 0.11800, mid peak winter 0.099000 and off peak 0.06300

To be honest, I never look at this shit , just pay the bill

This last one for my house was 111.03 for 30 days, this includes a bunch of bullshit like delivery charge$29.62, regulatory charges $5.49 , DEBT RETIREMENT CHARGE !! which the fuckers ran up in the 1st place, by shit management $5.58, then it's all taxed $13.95

Its a TV show lol. You clowns want to compare cities? Chicago and Toronto are similar in size in population. TO has about 60 murders a year compared to chicago which has about 600. Toronto is one of the fastest growing cities in the world, people want to live here. Low crime, beautiful clean city and jobs. Yes real estate is high but again its because people want to be here. Look at our neighbours to the south, buffalo, cleveland, detroit. Ya a lot of people want to live there!! Lol.

toronto gdp = $286 billion, population 2.8 million
chicago gdp = $524 billion, polulation 2.7 million


we can do this all day.

I'd rather live in a safe city, there is a ton of money here and its just going to get better. Once again Toronto is growing at a rapid pace while keeping their crime rate in check. Again hate on this city all you want I could give a fuck lol.

you missed the point, which was people are trying to move the thread away from stupid comparisons.

I don't see anyone hating Toronto, it seems like a lovely city. Instead, I see Toronto lovers hating American cities and Americans defending them. ;-)

Guess you missed the OP? Is this like your reply last year where you said the super bowl was the most watched sporting event in the world? Lol.

Here it's over 15 cents. stop fucking crying.

....................... n/m post!

Where was the hate? I contrasted 2 similar sized major North American cities as far as owning/buying a home goes - for $300,000 in Toronto you get a tiny dump and in Dallas you get a nice modern home with twice the square footage for the same price.

LOL, I'll give you that, you won that argument. Though I'm flattered you have thought about me for a year. I hope you don't have my picture on your desktop?

The original poster is Canadian, he doesn't count!

It's popular by default, where else do Canadians have to go after high school/university if they want to live and pursue jobs/career in a big urban center? The separatists ruined Montreal as an option for most. Winnipeg? Edmonton? Calgary? Halifax? There's Vancouver, even more expensive than Toronto. Two desirable big cities in the entire country. An American has 20 cities to pick from - New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington/Baltimore, Charlotte, Miami, Tampa, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Phoenix, St. Louis, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas

IF Canada and the US had a reciprocal open door immigration policy where people could come and go to live and work in either country within 10 years I'd say 10 million Canadians if not more would move south. Why you'll never see that kind of agreement.

Anyway, the thread was made because Socks misrepresented the wealth and standard of living of the average Canadian compared to the average American. A $100,000 income goes considerably farther in the US than Canada.

So true.

No its just easy to remember ignorant posts such as you made.
