Whould Canda be any better
 

Question would Canada be a better place to live I mean I am really getting sick of all the B/s here in the united states schools getting shot up big business ripping the common person off heath care and the list goes on and on I think the story of the missing hiker was the final last straw for me this is so sad and never should have happen I am getting so sick of all the political B/s right now as far as I am concern they are all bone heads that does not have the interest of the little guy https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif

Come on up we are looking for good people.We do pay fairly high taxes but we can go to any hospital in the country for no charge health care.We are sometimes colder up here but I live in Ontario and it is 60 degrees today at 9 in the morning. Not bad at all.

There are 1 million Americans living up here so I would imagine that a few of them had the same thoughts as you.

I believe that wherever you live in Canada or The States, you pay for the lifestyle in some way. Up here, taxes are a bit higher than most states (not all) and the cold in January - Febuary can be hell. As a teenager, I hated winter but now I'd never live somewhere that didn't have the 4 seasons. Vancouver, British Columbia has warmer winters but you have to be able to handle 2 weeks of straight rain at a time.

Florida is warm but you have to worry about getting your house wiped out every couple of years, mid-west is Tornado alley, California has earthquakes and fires.

Healthcare is more accessible here than in The States but not necessarily quicker. Prescription drugs is by far cheaper. You are getting screwed by the same companies we buy our drugs from. It's been recently reported that drug companies spend twice as much on promotion and advertising as they do on R&D which throws their whole argument for the high costs out the window.

Honestly, what I think you need is a government that is more in tune with Americans than a government that does whatever the F*#$% it wants to.

Don't think twice about it Norm...pack the truck and granny's rocker and hit the road!.
Like Ronnie Hawkins and Conway Twitty said "Canada's the promised land!".
Although things are different in the larger citys, many small Canadian towns are still much like the good ol' days!.
Seriously, I thank God each and everyday I am where I am and for being able to raise my kids in as much of the old world as still exists!.

You guys should have moved 5 years ago when the dollar was worth $1.35 Canuck. Now the greenback won't even buy you a Loonie. Not the right time to move.
