Just as in our American Revolution....many Americans loyal to Britian moved to Canada rather than stay and fight...no problem...you could'nt have been Americans anyway...hurry up and leave...quit bitching and get across the border.....
The customary problems of socialized medicine. A 2000 report from the Heritage Foundation found long waiting lists, government rationing, and substandard care in Canada’s system. Drug spending is controlled, according to the report, by limiting the number of approved drugs and slowing down the approval process. In one four-year period, Canada approved only 24 of 400 new drugs. Keep coming down here for healthcare, Canadians.
In fact, even New Zealand doesn't go to the extreme of socialized medicine of Canada. I have an uncle who migrated to Toronto and when I visited him last time, he and his wife were astonished to know that we have a dual path system for elective medicine. If you have private insurance or enough money , you can do elective surgeries and visit specialists at private practices (that covers everything outside emergency medicine except organ transplant). And new drug approval is the same as the US, except that certain drugs aren't covered by subsidies and in such cases, you pay the full costs.
But emergency medicine is government-operated yes, and GP visits are subsidized although flat fees apply for subsidized prescription drugs and GP visits.
Hopefully, a new home.

Sounds like a good deal to me. It would appear that Blue Voters certainly know all about standing on their principles, eh? I'm not sure, but I heard rumor that there may be some other countries in the world besides Canada in the world. I heard that one of the larger ones was called Cinco de Mayo or something. One of the biggest ones was called Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey Land of France. I don't know about all that, since all we ever studied in school was how badly the U.S. was trashing the planet, and George Bush is the anti-Christ (not that religion is taught in school or anything), but heresy has it on pretty good authority this is pretty solid stuff to go on.
A whole lot more personal freedom, civil liberties, government benefits and much much lower income tax can be found in those few countries outside of the U.S.A. In fact, as I understand it, almost no income whatsoever is levied anywhere else in the world except the United States of America. What a bunch of fascists. Too bad I didn't have the balls to vote for sKerry.
You mean they haven't left yet? What are they waiting for? It's been over three months. C'mon whiney-babies, pack your bags and get on out.
Of course Baldwin, and perhaps many of the others (assuming they actually do leave), won't have to worry about the problems of socialized medicine.
My grandfather bought land on the Georgian Bay in Lion's Head, Ont. in 1922. He took my dad and his brothers there to camp every year. In 1948 he built a cottage on the land and my dad took my brothers and I there every year for summer vacation. In 1969, the town took the land, bulldozed the cottage and built a public beach. I haven't been to Canada since.
That's what...? About $12 in real money?
Can we give these malcontents some parting gifts to motivate them to move to Canukistan? A big parka, a handful of hockey pucks, and a box of magazines they can read while waiting in the socialized medicine line for their doctor to finally give them an aspirin.
"goldstategop, why do you keep including that quote from "Denny Crane" in every one of your posts? First off, it's not even remotely clever or profound. Second, the place to put that is in your tagline, where it belongs."
I don't know.
And I don't care.
Stories like this hurt us badly. Tell them they will find Shangri-La. Get them to the borders and then kick them across.
Hurry up, Loony Lefties, LEAVE already!!!!
Don't let the border hit ya in the a$$ on the way out!!!
Canadian football fields are 110 yards between goal lines and 65 yards wide. That's a whole lot of field to cover!
Run for the border!

No, no. They will find peace of mind if they go. Don't discourage them from going.
More importantly, WE will find peace of mind, if they go.
