So for guidance on how to fix America, why not look north to Canada, where the mood is upbeat and life appears to be getting demonstrably better? The New York Times recently reported the Canadian middle class is now the worlds richest, surpassing the U.S. for the first time. In the 2014 better life index recently published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Canada outscored the United States in 9 of 11 categories, including education, safety and overall life satisfaction

I was ok with your post until I saw Bruins. I’m sorry, habs are taking them down tonight! Eat my shorts GSC!
On a side note, I’ve been wrong before, back in 86.
Who you callin' Canadian,fool? ;-)
Your shorts? Hell,I won't even eat your bacon! ;-)
It’s on! You won’t even eat superior Canadian Bacon?! No movie references intended.
Just for that, it’s almost lunch time, I think I’m going to go find a burger loaded with bacon heh.

Yes,until they get *really* sick.I researched Canadian heath care recently and found something stunning on the official British Columbia health care website.It said that there's at least one type of open heart surgery (the exact type wasn't noted) for which patients can expect to wait for up to six months.Having worked in US health care for 20 years,and having had one major operation (hip replacement) under it I can assure you that nothing even remotely resembling that happens here.I could go on...but won't.
America protects itself, we enjoy collateral security by being next door and would be sacrificed in a second to safeguard U.S. soil.
Well,you're partially correct there.If France were to invade Canada we'd fire up the popcorn maker and watch.We'd do so for two reasons...1) France isn't *our* enemy..2) what's the worst that France would do to you? Force you to eat frogs' legs? But if you were invaded by one of Western Civilization's enemies...the USSR,China,North Korea or Iran...we'd be there both for selfish *and* unselfish reasons.
The elections up here are honest.

I don’t get that either, and I’m stuck having to do it, because I get paid to write up here and my boss wants the extra u, so now I’m getting used to it. Irritating!
There does seem to be a fascination with extra letters—why ZED? I refuse to have ‘zed’ spoken in my house, so of course my family all teases me with it. Why have a word when one letter, ‘Z’, will do?
My kids (both born in the U.S. but pretty much Canadian having lived here since they were little) say, well there’s “double-u”; they claim that is a word like ‘zed.’
I’m not sure how to counter that. I just know it..I feel it.. that “zed” is wrong. It just is. ;)
But at least it’s Zed everywhere else in the world.
LOL. Sometimes I hear myself and I wonder if I’m starting to talk like that. Everyone here thinks I have a midwestern accent (I’m from Chicago), while everyone at home says, “you talk like a Canuck!” :)
“But at least its Zed everywhere else in the world.”
Even more reason it should really be “z.” :) It’s just like ignoring the metric system!
The only metric system I know are the parts that have to do with wine. :)
You’re better off that way. ;)
My Albertan phone refuses to load onto that crap site, I did try though, so you’re just going to have to take it from me and prepare to be disappointed heh.
Aaah,it’s only a game!!!
:-)

Congratulations,Habs.
I’m an Original Six fan so I’ll be rootin’ for ya !!!!!!

Thanks, was out with some friends at a brewhouse watching the game, wasn’t too many Boston fans in there, but you could tell because right before game ended they all snuck out heh.
Nobody died, nobody got beat up and no property was damaged, so far so good heh.
No,. liberals do NOT have respect for free speech. They’re the ones trying to eliminate it.
