Canadians, do you sometimes dream you were an American citizen instead?
 

with all its attendent benefits and prestige?

Yeah, like free healthcare and low crimerate.

I'm american and I want to live in Canada, does that count?

Never. Canadians are In My Opinion the Best epople in the World. I would never ever think for a second of Changing. Any Canadians that Do Can freely Leave. But none will.

Sometimes I dream....






that one day....










one sunny peacful day....







you will decide to.....


SHUT THE FUCK UP!

um....

NFW!!

Must be cool to live in Canada. I got family there and they always talk about going to the denstist, hospital for free.

But then again Candada can afford that cause instead of paying for a military they could put the funds into healthcare.

We can't do that in the US :(

The question was posed to Canadians. You opened your claptrap out of order. next...

Can I ask what inspired this question?

I am Canadian btw and the answer is no.

America is a great country and there a still a few freedoms left but most of the good ones are gone.

Canada on the other hand is a very chillaxed place and we dont seem to feel the need to control what the rest of the world is doing.

We help if and where we can....after that we just live and let live.


:thumbsup

No, but you probably gotta live in a pretty shitty country to dream of living in a different one.

Finland is great except for the weather. I *hate* winter.
I also hate the huge taxes and expensive goods, but I love the country.

...I'm moving the fuck out of here when/if I graduate. :)

Just when I am in a suicidal mood ... But knowing I don't have to be american cheers me back up :thumbsup

I'm sure they do dream that every once in a while.

But then they wake up all wet and sweaty and say thank god it was only a nightmare :1orglaugh

No fucking way. I love being Canadian, thanks. I'm sure being American has it's merits, and my mother is an American born and bred, but I'm quite content where I am thanks.

No that's kind of dream is called nightmare

LOL dream? Not bloody likely. Who dreams of having their rights and freedoms stripped away piece by piece? Not many I would imagine.

The one major benifit of the US is that you can live in any climate that you want. In canada you got Victoria and Vancouver if you dont like the snow. But you get the rain and cold still.

That could change though if that caribbean island becomes part of canada as they are talking about.

Why would they ? They have Health Care, The High Octane Beer and Way better Strip Clubs then We do :2 cents:

If nothing else what makes us Canadians is our pride that we are not Americans

benefits?? setting aside health care and that we dont have bush in power but the prestige?? seriously, why do so many americans walk around with a canadian lapel pin?? When travelling they dont want to be known as americans for fear of being shot at. They get treated better when thought of as being canadians. Not much prestige in getting shot at now is there??

We love americans - even the arrogant mis-informed ones like you Darkjedi

your partly right actually overall health between the two countries being canada is #1 seeing the health care plans are better.. canada doesn't need a fulltime army seeing the USer's will always back canadians up.. after all they are using/eating our resources up 'water' ect like candy it's a back scratching affair also we were fucked on the *freetrade* scam too..
it's a (tit for tat) thing they need us we need them sorta?

canada is cleaner place and a great place for out door life if your into it also realestate is cheaper amongst other things there's some places I do enjoy in the states but I don't think i'd want to hang my hat there long term probably there's more interest for me in other countries (EU)ect...

my opinion:2 cents:

Namely?


Only in your own mind. There's a reason US journalists and tourists wear Canadian flags. It must suck to be embarrassed of your own country. No wonder so many Americans feel the need to try to convince themselves of untruths on a daily basis.

they always say that US is the land of opportunity so..





I wish I am a citizen of US :thumbsup

Ok let me digest this question for a sec.... Alright! We have free health care, clean cities and water, hockey just to name a few. And the U.S. has the worlds laughing stock George W. Bush. I think i will stay canadian thanks!![

What most people don't realize is, our military isn't THAT pathetic. Our ships and subs are, but we have troops to stop any would be renegade attack against us. We have troops to deal with native uprisings, even potential riots or whatever. We have planes to shoot down hijacked airliners, like the one that got intercepted by 2 CF-18s last week. In America having 20 million fucking F-16's doesn't help when your "President" lets attacks happen instead of shooting down hijacked planes.

We don't have an offensive army, because guess what, we don't invade countries. We don't have an army to fight in a world war, because guess what, we don't start world wars. During WWII we kicked serious ass. In Afghanistan we're kicking serious ass today. During 1812 we kicked YOUR ass. America should have standard health care too like every other civilized nation, but Republicans would rather play star wars. :1orglaugh

I was down in Mazatlan back in march and this chick I met on the beach we bumped into each other and as soon as I asked her where she was from she said LA but her mom was from Vancouver so she is a (reborned canadian) this is what she called herself? I asked here how many drinks shes had..

she looked pretty sweet but alittle mixed up!:1orglaugh

I think if I lived in the USA probably I'd be in jail by now from shooting someone? some of them are pretty darn stupid..:NopeNope

:1orglaugh

Not really...I'd rather stay here in Canada :thumbsup

OH fuck right off Brent your hiding under another cloaked name huh.. that pornspotter program was a shave/scam as well..

so is dollarmachine/python/ once good now bad news too..

another idiot staff/moderator/employee/goof/ member..

now run long now:ak47: :321GFY

*now back to the topic..*

Yeah, sometimes, but only for the $ currency ;) Not because of your fat ass! :Graucho :321GFY

I'm glad to be Canadian, although visiting the States in the winter months is also nice, just wouldn't want to live there permanently..

DarkJedi u fucking tool! :1orglaugh

GET SOME FRIENDS, GO OUTSIDE!

it must suck to have your entire life revolve around a message board.

fool.

haha now you want to live here!

I can't think of a single reason why I'd rather live in the US than Canada.

Unless there was some very amazing offer of money or power or something silly, I'd never move there.

never, i'll always be a canadian.

but i may end up moving somewhere warmer to live in the usa some day, i'll always keep a home in canada though.

my sister tells me some americans she has travelled with stitch canadian flags onto their backpacks etc....i wonder why:Graucho

look at it another way alot of movie celebs are buying here (vancouver bc) and investing in huge amounts of realestate like myself.. the only attraction from the USA is the money earnings I can hit the exchange rate and bank it and invest it here in canada.. the taxes in CAL is horrible and probably the only place I would maybe want to live in is florida now thats a 'slim maybe'..
:2 cents:

i think id rather live in canada

how hard is it to become a canadian citizen?

Yes, and then I wake up in a cold sweat.

This is all very true.


This isn't so much, for the most part... we held them off. The US tried to take over Canada to have sole possession of the great lakes. Canada held them off for years until Britain was able to come in and burn down Washington as a form of proverbial bitch slap.

We didn't kick their asses, but we sure as hell made them think twice about whether or not they could kick ours :glugglug

I have seen some americans travellers flaunting the canadian symbol when I was in "france" there was alot of them wearing CAN pins and Tshirts too.. they stood out and looked alittle funny
but never the less faking who they actually were..

they (USr's )do that alot in amsterdam too.. :eek7

1) either buy or open some cheap business here..

it's better to buy one thats currently up and running this is what the asians/Indos/ and others do..

2) marry someone here..

3) apply to a bible church camp attend it there and apply under canadain law this way get the minister or preist to help sponsor you.. this is one another way in..

I see, now you want to live in canada and hide your money?

I live here and hide my money too..


I saw this article this asian dude bought 4 houses got the money to buy them from our goverment and being on welfare he grew dope in them for a few years had a few old people live in them to make it look good and he made 4 million dollars in growing pot. and then sold two of the houses. after he shipped out the crops from them.. he did get busted but got off with only a fine..he was in jail posted his own bail then that was it! all paid by our goverment "vancouver the famous pot province"

~only in canada~


:thumbsup

I would NEVER become American. I might move to the states, but I would never try and get an american citizenship. Fuck Brett Hull!!!

And inherit your debt?!?! Are you kidding? We Canadians have had a balanced budget for about 6 years now.

Pay off at least some of your debt first, THEN send me a brochure, and I'll think about it.

American Republicans are more reckless spenders than Canadian liberals - what the fuck is up with that? The wheels have fallen off the American bus.

I saw another article online awhile back from Newyork paper that in one of the poor areas 'projects' that some families were catching bats
opening there hahahahahahas turning off there lights at night and snaring them and eating them! *Batburgers*no shit.. what the fuck is going on.. there more fucking poor people in the USA than in canada compared to popular density and ratios not to mention uneducated. shall I go on? yes a nice place to visit but not to live..

I have a Aunt that lives in Manhattan her rent is $2,500 amonth.
and her neighbors up stairs pay $3,500 because it's higher with more of a view of smog! and not to mention 8 locks on her door.

sorry I can't live in a enviroment or box as I call it ?

I did when I was in school I lived in a highrise but left after that.:2 cents:

Quebec is the place...

world board states the following

Norway was followed by Sweden, Canada, Belgium, Australia and the US - but the bottom of the chart is dominated by African countries.

RIGHT ON BRUTHA! FUCK BRETT HULL!!!

Great to see his ass booted out of the playoffs last night. Hopefully he'll play this summer at the World Cup so he can get his ass kicked again, but I suspect he'll pussy out.

BTW don't move to the states. Sooner or later they'll find a way to draft you.
