and you should....so....lets put this in perspective....
Canada has a population how big? and how big is the population of the United States? so...your universal health care is VERY similar to our VA hospitals, if it is an emergency then you MAY move to the front of the line, if not, well, wait 6 months.
You also do not have the same governmental system in place that we do, and by that i mean, you dont have almost the entire rest of the planet trying to break into your country based on a social system that can reward those who have done or do very little for the republic for which it stands, meaning our social nets cover even more so that our legal citizens, and thats hard to refute from your side of the border because even your side said no more immigrants a few months ago.
Then it comes to where does the Canadian government gets its money/cash from? if you pay a modest amount of money in taxes and we can you average, then where does it come from? its not exactly industry, mainly exports i would guess, and when your population is a fraction of the country south of you, then it seems to be a great deal.
But when your back to back world champs its easy to think how wonderful things are where you live when the sacrifice has not been the same, i mean i dont see canada willing to foot the same bill for the UN that the United States does, much less volunteering to host it all for ever and not hand someone a bill.
as far as drinking vodka instead of 2% beer, i think kennedy and reagan put an end of that, i mean, tear down that wall, where was canada? oh yea, watching it on bbc i think...forget to show up?
and chuck2015, again, nobody wants to break into your country quite like they do the United States, so when trying to compare military spending, then again, i say, while we have made missteps, we brought both europe and se asia back from total annihilation from wars they started, and lets remember why russia never invaded japan during WWll. history is lost on those who...well...you know...
Guns, guns, and more guns are both what set this continent free but also keep us apart from you, french and indian wars, and made us free. no tie to a monarchy or that style of government. I mean after all, the good queen and their parliament can and will have you arrested for aggressive twits and carrying a butter knife....so, is the United States perfect, no, but we are the very last bastion of freedom on this planet and even ours is very limited. If you are not born with that freedom gene it will probably never make sense, however, how you do it up there works, but to compare the two, is John Deere and IH at best...
i hope my effort to get this back to a tractor talk discussion worked

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
