Whoever said 2.5 million isn't much in Canada is smoking CRACK.


1 million buys you a huge, huge house in West Vancouver overlooking the city.

Them are fightin' words.... :)

I disagree, Saudi Arabia has far more "conservative values" than the US (why aren't they a superpower). It is the US's Liberal values that have allowed it to become the great nation it is.

Do I have to spell out everything for you...First of all; all that mechanic has is one vote, whereas someone with money (like say a Saudi Arabian Shiek) can easily influence the leader of the worlds only superpower (your good buddy BUSH), after people from his country commit the most atrocious terrorist act on US soil ever, to look the other way and attack a completely different nation.
Also, I could also have a far greater say in world affairs than that mechanic simply by using my $$$ to influence politicians/corporations/voters. To sum it up for you: its all about $$$$, not a simplistic voter(who can, in most cases be easily influenced)

Do you even know what Liberal values are?
The people in the US are currently enjoying many of the benefits of these Liberal values.

BTW is that mechanic by any chance YOU? :)

God damn son as soon as I think you couldn't get any dumber you something dumber than the last time.

I am sure the last election 49% liberal to your 51% conservative supports that Liberals are done in America. :1orglaugh

Yes and many people can't afford $99 a month so they NEVER see a doctor. Actually what happens is they see one in the emergency room where their treatment is paid by the taxpayers anyways, but because of our fucked up system it cost 10X as much to treat the person.

Unfortunately some American fail to see that. yes we would all like to lvie ina land where NONE of outr atx $ goes to paying for someone's healthcare but that's going to happen so if this be the way I'd rather pay $1 now that $10 later. Call me silly.

Also anyone on meidcare or medicaid you do in fact WAIT for treatment and care is substandard at best. I remember having to take my sister and her kids to see a doctor and the local health clinic in Tampa and god damn I was in there for 6 fucking hours with a bunch of smelly white trash/migrant farm worker/ghetto type people and their bratty kids. Place smelled of Mr Clean and BO with some urine and vomit mixed in for goood measure. And most the doctors spoke worse english than Snoop Dogg. I would have rather used a toilet at a truck stop where 2 trucker bears just got done having anal sex than use the bathroom there. Canada could NOT possibly be worse than that.

Canada's system is flawed in the fact that it gets abused by people because its free. Look no further then everyone in the doctors office for the common cold as soon as they get a sniffle. Adding a $10 user fee or something for doctors visits woudl serverly reduce the strain on the family doctors as well as help to fund the system as well.

The other issue in Canada is that its so spaced out and large with such a small population but you still gotta treat all those citizens in the remote areas with adequate medical care. Thats expensive when your paying these doctors up north on-call pay thats outrageous for such a small poplulation.

Add in the fact that our most talented doctors head to the US in hopes of big dollars and that hurts the quality of the care.

Now the US system isnt exactly great either. You can get cheap plans if you want, but then your forced to visit certain approved doctors, which can be changed at any time and you can get screwed at any time. Also you get forced into what they deem elective or non emergency, or a pre-existing condition. If you go for a plan like Blue Cross you are looking at $400-500 a month easily for a family of 4. Thats quite a high price, and you still have to pay a deductable, and most plans only cover up to 80% etc. My friend has a pretty good plan and his family of 3 pays over $1k a month just in health care insurance.

And the trend in insurance is going up at a rapid rate due to the insurance the doctors much purchase to protect against the lawsuits they face every year. Its a viscious cycle. Studies out say the US would be able to pay for very good health care for every citizen if they became the middle man for the health care system at a cheaper rate then they currently pay now. Why because they have to subsidize and pay for the medicare and the poor who can't be denied service and are forced to default on payments.

I still prefer the universal heath care in canada to the US. And judging by what every other industrialized country in the world says, they also agree. No question these systems could use some tooling, but the only people being screwed in the US system are the citizens of the country. Its sure not the doctors getting huge cash, nor the insurance companies who screw you over, and pay your government to keep it that.

sorry huggles here is where u are wrong , 1 million here in vancouver DOES NOT BUY YOU A HUGE HOUSE especially In w.

Oui, and considering this guy is comming from England it is most likely in British Pounds so it's going to be closer to 5 million. Under those circumstances I would make the move too. And considering to there is no immigration rules or regulations for the wealthy in this world.. why not?


1. To be Canadian/Canadien/Canadienne is to be political. Having lived in the United States, England, France and Spain I have found that as a nation we must love to discuss politics.
2. The Canadian people are sarcastic, have a scathying and often warped sense of humour and we tend to really get off on a good verbal fight. (I don't know many of us that didn't play the insult game with our friends growing up)
3. We are most likely the ONLY nation in the world that can and have the right to say shit about the Americans and they will listen. I don't know how we did it but like England we earned the barbarian's respect but unlike England we have a clue what we are talking about when it concerns the good old USA. (Sorry England.. no insult ment, it's just a distance thing)


I lived in the United states for 5 years and saw more of that country then I did of Canada. While I will admit that there are some wonderful and thoughtful Americans, for the most part they are far more Neo-conservative-stupid-ignorant-rednecks. Collectively as a nation they have replaced religion with partriotism and regardless of how correct or logical of a point is made.... Americans prefer to decide the winner of most debates or arguments by bashing in each other's skulls. But as far as 9/11 is concern and the aid we gave americans.... Another thing my travels has taught me is that as a nation Canadians honestly do try to live by the golden rule. "Treat others the way you want to be treated!"

Very true... When Georgie boy was re-elected and it wasn't by a narrow margin. As far as I was concern, it spoke volumes about what the american people truely want their society to be. AND how they view the way their country should behave in the world schema.

As for Canadian goverment... Well, Paul Martin, Stephen Harper, etc. I think the minority goverment we have speak volumes of our society. Not alot to choose from and we didn't give anyone in power alot.

stay the fuck away from Canada, you are british, stay the fuck over there, the boar left decades ago.

there is to many imigrants here now, i dont even care if he has $ stay the fuck away from us.

Yeah that's right. :1orglaugh

I love Canada's hottest women!
