| The Canadian economy will do fine and the U.S. is going down the tubes. Why join a sinking ship? |

Nonsense.
Canada will match the United States in any decline. Our economy is digging up the country and throwing it across the border to the Americans in exchange for Fed notes. How in the hell would we "do fine"? |

eh, it was obviously a typo. I was about to put in thirteen provinces but then looked it up to check, the number was right but three of those provinces were just territories. Thirteen is like three.
Oh, who cares. Embarassing yourself in off-topic is like soiling yourself in a mental institution, the only people who know are the retards who reside there and the other fools who feel the need to visit them. |

Discourse is a good thing - keep it coming, please. It helps me to think outside the box, so to speak.
But, if the US were to become another Canadian province, how could we explain this "queen" thing? We already had a queen and it didn't work out! Remember? |
Grammer check: Legal questions meant to say we have a queen now. Queen Bush and her husband King Cheney. Yeah chalk up ten points for the first cross dressing W. joke on this thread. |

One Korean teacher asked me and an American English teacher at her school, what we thought of Canadians, and we both had the same response. Totally neutral.
We don't really have any feelings for or against Canada. It's just our neighbor to the north, and for the most part, a friendly neighbor.
I don't really mind if people here, ask me if I'm Canadian, not being much of a patriot (my true citizenship being that of heaven). I just joke around that I'm insulted, and laugh it off. After all, some of my best friends are Canadian!
Obviously, two totally different countries, two different histories, and such. For better or for worse, the Canadians I know seem alot more liberal/European in outlook than Americans (but that's a generalization, I know).
Anyway, we should be grateful that, for the most part, we have had a really peaceful relationship with our northern neighbors all these years -- besides they have a cute flag and their national anthem is easier to sing than ours! |

| Correct me if I'm wrong, but on that so called best health care nations, South Korea wasn't on it either. Yet, how strange is that, because we pay really low tax here and if you do end up going to the doctor, it's not that expensive at all. |

Canada can't be the 51st state! We, the UK, were first in the queue for that!  |

So what makes being an American so great?
I am here and I just think of the place as just another third-world country.
I am thinking the only good thing about being "American" is having the passport (even that is questionable) and having a degree from an American university.....other than that, what else is there?
And please lets not talk about the military- the US is about to have its ass handed to them by the Taliban next year......which will be the second most humiliating defeat of US forces since Vietnam........ |

WTF is a third-world country?
The cold war is over.

The entire world is in a recession. It amazes me that any Canadians think that they're insulated from this shit. Or I suppose it doesn't. Kind of figures that your education system would be as bad as ours. Given that there's:
NO SUBSTANTIVE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES
No, health care does not count.
God, you off-topic people need to stop drooling all over yourselves and up your game. |
