I just got back from Canada a few weeks ago. Was on vacation there...
Ummm, yeah, boring as all hell would be my phrase to describe the country as a whole? lol
And Canadians really do hate Americans, hahaha. But I'm going to point out some of the reasons that they are all idiots.
First of all, crime would be low in ANY country that has like 2 warm days a year? The rest of the time it's like one billion below zero. Look at how crime rates plummet in any US city when there is a blizzard or snowstorm, which is like every day in Canada. HELLO.
Plus, their population is a LOT smaller than ours for about the same amount of land mass. It's a well-established fact that crime is lower in rural areas. Which pretty much describes all of Canada.
US population is around 260 million or so, whereas Canada's is around 30 million?
Let Canada's population climb up about 8 times the level it is now and we'll see how low their crime rates are then. :\n
Then again, it's all theoretical since that'll never happen. Why would you immigrate to Canada when you could come to the US?
Canadians get owned by their government, which also sucks. In order to keep this mildly short, I won't go into all the ways their gov.'t sucks, just the money, cause they pay out their cold asses in taxes and at least twice as much as we do for things like gas.
They also don't have as "low" of an unemployment rate as it would appear. Not to mention it's higher than ours, even though we have 8x the people?
Most of their jobs are not "skilled" due the lack of high-tech jobs in their country. Just like other countries, a lot of Canada's "best and brightest" move to the US to fully utilize their skills, education, and income potential.
Stuff like
http://www.ccsd.ca/pr/2003/censusincome.htm shows how Canada really is like a smaller version of the US in terms of distribution of wealth. Once again, I'm sure it would be higher if anyone actually lived in Canada with anything going for them.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/economy/poverty-line.html shows how Canadians like to BS on their poverty level.
http://www.fafia-afai.org/Bplus5/altrepf1_e.htm shows more inequality.
So why is it that you always hear so many bad things about the US, when places like Canada are just as bad and, in fact, worse in most cases? I mean, at least we're rich, can protect ourselves & our allies & our interests anywhere on the globe, and have tons more freedom compared to 99.9% of the other countries out there.
Well, it's because Canadians are all too busy being alcoholics to really do anything important. Their drinks have a much higher alcohol content (%) than ours do...not to mention huge glasses/mugs? And I swear, I don't think I met more than like one non-drunk Canadian. Freakin lushes.
And jealousy. Come on, it's understandable they'd be jealous!
If you moved into a house and got all comfortable in your neighborhood...made some friends, whatever...and all of a sudden some really hot, young, powerful, and bloody rich family moved in right next to you and got all the attention...wouldn't you be jealous, too?
