Canada sucks indeed
In the original posting George stated that Canada sucks. I lived in Canada for 27 years (age 4 to 31) and then got the hell out. Everything George said is entirely correct.
But here's why Canada sucks.
The British, after ruining their own country, settled into Canada and began sytematically ruining Canada. The Bristish game plan works like this.
Allow as many immigrants as possible into the country. Tax the shit out of them through both income and sales taxes. Ever notice how all the Brits have the higher level government jobs?
Why is that any product you buy in Canada is priced at two times the level in the US? A $US 25 dollar item in the US costs $CAD 50 in Canada. Given that the exchange rate is 1.55 where does the extra 45% come from? It comes from the Brits pocketing the extra 45%.
Indeed Canada sucks and it will keep on sucking until all the Brits are driven out.

May be it does but all the people I have met in Canada seem more relaxed
compared to the majority in US who are stressed out. The prices indeed are
higher in Canada and they have more taxes but this is because of a better
welfare system they have to spent money on.

George is absolutely right. Do not EVER move to Canada. You will regret it for the rest of your life. This country is pathetic and so are the majority of the people.

Re: ********* Why Canada sucks ??? *********
I think you may possibly be delusional, when what is now Canada was
originally colonised by the British there wasn't a country there, just
native tribes and soem French traders like the original British traders who
went in trading furs. Then the two built up their empires there, had several
battles until the French lost and the British won. However it was still
British North America and there was no Canada to be ruined. In fact if it
wasn't for the British (or the French had they won) then there wouldn't be a
Canada at all probably just a much larger USA.
Canada finally got it's own flag and so forth in the 50's and finally it's
own constitution completely seperate from the UK in 1982.
Immigration to Canad from the UK has been minimal in the past decades and
the majority of all immigrants are now coming from aisia, china, indian
subcontinent etc.
The idea that there are british people in power is a bit silly as well as i
think you will find most people in power are Canadian.
So im not quite sure what it is you are saying. Are you saying that everyone
who speaks english should leave Canada? Or everyone of european decent? Or
are you jsut trying to make up excuses for why you couldn't make a life
there?

I am afraid you are mistaken, have you any idea how hard it is to get into this country, you need 75 points, take a look at what you need to acheive that it's difficult .
I just returned from Seattle (great city ). I didnt buy anything because it was cheaper at home (the rate exchange had nothing to do with it).
We all pay taxes unless you know of a better way ?????
Were did you live? were are you now ?
