My friend's wife went in for a simple operation, can't remember what. Anyway, during the operation they hit an organ (liver or kidney, again don't remember which) and didn't notice, and sewed her up. So she is lying in the hospital bed recovering when she starts to crash and turn blue. The doctors didn't know what was wrong so they literally had to cut half her body open to find the problem. She spent months recovering from that. My friend wanted to sue the hospital but of course there was nothing he could do.

Canada doesn't much of a military because we don't need much of a military.

We don't have entire countries and religions and races hating on us.

We can't afford a military.

Because there is only apx 30 million of us and we get stuck with the bill for cleaning up the mess and feeding everyone after you march into some country and blown the shit out of it.

And our military policy has always been based on "Not being an asshole to everyone and anyone" so they don't want to blow us up.

My best friend works for a British company remotely from Montreal
So she gets a pretty nice London salary to spend here

Sorry for Celine - I am truely very very sorry!

Look at our population..New York has more people then Canada

Let an objective party decide who has the best overall quality of life including health care considerations:


Vancouver No. 2 in world
Ties with Vienna in quality-of-life survey of 215 major world cities

Vancouver's livability puts it in the top rank of North American cities; four other Canadian cities make it into the top 10.

For the third year in a row, Vancouver has been ranked as the city with the second-best quality of life in the world.

According to a survey by Mercer Human Resource Consulting, Vancouver ties Vienna for second place, behind top ranked Geneva and Zurich.

The annual survey grades 215 cities based on 39 criteria, including safety, public services, schools, climate and recreation.

Mercer prepares the survey for governments, companies and organizations looking to place employees on international assignments.

Vancouver is the top-ranked North American city, but the four other Canadian cities included in the survey, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Calgary, also made the top 10.

Vancouver is no stranger to the top ranks of the survey. It placed second both last year and in 2003, third in 2002, and ranked first in 2001 and 2000.

The survey uses New York City as a base case, assigning it a grade of 100. Because many cities receive the same numerical grade, tie scores are common. The 215 cities included in this year's survey are distributed to 109 ranks. New York City placed 13th.

The two Swiss cities tied for first place with grades of 106.5, edging out second place Vancouver and Vienna, which each scored 106.

The other Canadian cities weren't far behind, with Toronto in seventh spot with a score of 103.5, Ottawa ranking eighth at 103, Montreal in ninth at 102.5, and Calgary ranking tenth at 102.

The only other North American cities to crack the top 10 were Honolulu and San Francisco, which joined Calgary in the tenth position.

Baghdad was deemed the world's worst for quality of life, scoring a paltry 14.5 to capture 109th place.

Luxembourg won top honours in a special ranking of cities based on the quality of their personal safety and security. All five Canadian cities included in the survey tied for sixth in the safety list, making them the only North American cities in the top 10 of that category.

The safety rankings are based on internal stability, crime rates, the frequency of terrorist attacks, the quality of law enforcement, and the degree of personal freedoms.

? National Post 2005

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.

I was going to say dog sled racing.

50 moving to canada...

That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. During and immediately after 9/11, there was an unprecedented outpouring of grief and support from Canada and almost every other nation. Thousands of Canadians put up American strangers who couldn't fly home in their guest bedrooms for days. There was a massive God damn candlelight vigil in Iran for crying out loud, although I doubt they reported that on CNN. In my city there's a huge mural with Canadian and American flags that says "together we stand", people put flowers and candles in front of it. Everyone was on your side and offered support. When you went into Afghanistan supposedly looking for Bin Laden, it was the most widely supported war in history.

It was two years later, when you forgot about Bin Laden and used this sympathy to invade an oil rich country that had nothing to do with 9/11 based on lies you presented in front of the God damn UN, killing over 100,000 innocent people, that the world remembered why you guys deserved it. What we were thinking crying for an empire that kills 3000 innocent people in any given month?

B.C. donated about 5 million to the families of the 911 victims.Other then a few idiots .99% of Canadians felt their pain and tried to help by donating .I see way more Fuck Canada posts instead of the other way around to be honest

Just for the record . Healthcare is not free in canada , its expensive and there isnt any good doctors there. I pay roughly the same for my american health insurance as i do for my canadian one, the difference is in canada the waiting time is years instead of months for things like surgery.

Education. I pay roughly the same for my kids in american schools as canadian ones.

As far as crimes, and such, its roughly the same in a big canadian city as a big american city.

Oh please, do some research on everything you just mentioned.. I cant even tell if you are trying to be funny or serious, because everything you said makes no sense.

GFY is not a representation of canadians.. Just as gfy is not a representation of americans..

You must be smoking crack if you think canadians werent "fond" of americans.

Thousands of americans were put up in canada , given blankets etc out of the pockets of regular canadians. not from some government grant.

All this and bush didnt even thank us, thanked everyone but us. You wonder why canadians have a grudge its because of thoughtless people like you. :mad:

I live it every day
I live in both canada and th u.s.a. so i KNOW because i PAY.

So where do you live that you get free healthcare ? And pay nothing for your kids to go to school ? Ever had surgery ? compare the waiting lists.

I live very close to the white house , in whats considered a high crime area , and never once had my house broken in to.

In vancouver my house has been broken into a half dozen times in 3 years

Eat baguette and fuck the bear

we don't have to apologize either. we laugh at the rabble who have to move to a depressed country to afford a nice house. :1orglaugh

please son, move to canada, the US wouldn't have you.

ahahaha, this halfwit still chirps like he has a clue.
dear child, your fantasy probably sounds good to the halfwits you surround yourself with but here in the real world, you're a joke.
It probably is very tough to be an impotent boy from an impotent land but that, son, is your lot in life. :1orglaugh

His buddy is moving to Canada, not him.

I know people like him.

He is the kind of guy that reads stuff and listens to other people talk. Then he repeats what he has heard to his friends and on message boards to make himself sound intelligent.

If you read his stuff for a while, none of it is original and it doesn't go deep enough to assure me that its anything other than repeating what he heard.

He wont answer questions about his statements, only call people stupid for having a different view.

He does that because he believes the original author of his comments to be intelligent instead of leading him around by a nose ring.

Do you even know how to argue a point?

All you seem to be capable of is childish insults....it makes you look pretty juvenile. But whatever makes you feel good :winkwink:

I am just curious if funforone is talking about rich or 12clicks :)

:1orglaugh look in the mirror buddy.

I know a lot of people like him.

Read his post and see if he ever responds to anything using substance that wasn't in his original thoughts.

Its very subtle, but you can tell if you really read them.



Its pretty obvious he is just a keyboard warrior that wishes he was either a webmaster, a politician, or both.

the point's been made.
halfwits like yourself can't accept the fact that your opinion is irrelevant in the world. I insult people like you because you never seem to get it.

mmmmk lol

Here is a recent thread:http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=445541 its pretty long but if you read Rich's and your own posts, you should be able to see how he is able to articulate his points (along with some insults) and how you were unable to counter them but simply just retorted with insults.

And also yourself and 12clicks along with theKing( :1orglaugh ) always resort to questioning who he is (diversion tactic) whenever he starts making valid points (and probably argueable by someone with an equal intellect).

But keep living in denial if you choose and validating your incompetence by questioning wether or not he is a webmaster.

:1orglaugh Yes, you have proven my point quite well :thumbsup

He is right, you just dont get it.

I really wish I could get people like you a national stage with a national audience. In fact, that is exactly what the republicans did in the last election. The louder the looney left got, the better shape the conservatives were in. The deomcratic south is no more. Democrats can not win an election without winning the south.


People like you and rich dont realize how ignorant you views sound. It it worse for you when imply lesser intelligence on the other person.

The fact is that the U.S. is younger than many other countries. Conservative values have allowed us to become the only superpower.

You may think you are important, but just realize that there is a mechanic in some small mississippi town that gets more input on world affairs than you do.

He never went to college, he dropped out of high school. He lives in a trailer and goes to a baptist church on Sundays and Wednesdays. His father and his grandfather voted for democrats.

After you called him an idiot from "jesusland", he put a Bush sticker on his truck. Hillary will go to his church and pretend to go fishing, but he wont believe it.

Its over for the liberals in the United States. Does it really matter what the liberals in other countries prefer us to be?

whoa, how did a thread about moving to Canada from the UK turn into a thread about US politics and mechanics with no high school education?

Pretty interesting.

par for the gfy course.

LOL from the very first post I was thinking this dude can't hold a train of thought. I guess he's done one or three lines to many and is bouncing off the walls.

You can buy Coke in Holland at a bar on the street. I not sure if its legal but I've seen people selling and buying it.

The streets in New York were filled with a cloud of dust when the towers fell during 9/11. It was impossible to see for hours in some parts.

Nixon liked to hold up the peace sign alot but that irrelevant.

I have to pee.

reminds me of a simpsons episode now...

You may be right but I wouldn't sound so gleeful since goverments usually reflect those that put them in power.

Rich rich

As long as you read the part where those people are the ones who have historically voted democrat. Alot of them still did in this last election.

I like this guy.
