The clouds darken over the worker's paradise of Canada.

Our neighbors to the North have to learn that they can't tax their way to prosperity.

Don't forget their lovely habit of importing hordes of third-world castoffs.

Looks like Canada's leaders are doing their utmost to create a nation that combines the worst aspects of the Balkans and Cuba.

So do we... That highest marginal tax rate in the US takes effect at a very low level.

To achieve freedom and economic success Canadians must follow the example of the people of Poland and overthrow their marxist government.

These days, Poland has an unemployment rate of about 18%, no growth, per capita GDP of $8000 USD and is quickly reverting back to Marxism. Poland is only a marginal success when comparing it to the other disasters in Eastern Europe.

For canada that would be an improvement.

I've spent a lot of time in Canada and it is a very pleasant place to live. I fear they are doing what we did in the 60's and 70's and running their economy into the ground. We woke up, may be they will too. Better for everyone if they did.

I am under the impression that it was Trudeau who sent Canada on its current "tour" of socialism - their dollar was better than ours until he started his social commandeering....and seems things are still stuck there today. Too bad...there are a lot of intelligent and God fearing Canadians who work hard.....to support those who think they don't have to (work hard.)

Reply to post #10: The problem is, is the communist government you elected is a threat to the United States. Your marxist government has been providing cover for arab terrorists in fear of losing arab votes from your large arab population. The members of parliment you elected are standing up in that parliment and making speeches lobbying for hamas so they can set up bases in canada. Most of the terrorists that sneak into the United States come from canada.

Sciscyp's previous posts. You're arguing with a brickwall.

Even the ones you taught how to fly commercial airliners and gave visas to after they're dead? Are all americans irresponsible dumbasses like you, who like to blame others for your own problems?

[Clemenza]

Defensive of our little igloo are we?

Reply to post #14: We might have taught them how to fly, but we didn't teach them how to land. I think you misunderstood, I am not blaming canada for our problems, I am stating that canada, is our problem. In future dicussions please try and remember, that the party who calls the first name, loses the debate.

I think you misunderstood, I am not blaming canada for our problems, I am stating that canada, is our problem.

Why is that? None of the 9/11 terrorists came to the USA from Canada. They were practically invited there by the americans and given room and board, and a few flying lessons. US immigration is so utterly lame, even after 9/11, that a terrorist wouldn't have to bother going through Canada. You let in millions of illegals each year from your southern border, cozy up to countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Yemen (where the terrorists usually come from) and yet you have the nerve to point fingers at another country like Canada because of your own inept policies and security. It's Canada that should be worried about all of the freaks that end up in the US and whether they'll someday spill across the border. Actually, that's already occuring since 75% of immigration to Canada comes from the US.

I don't know when the rot started, I only what know what I see today. They have other problems besides Socialism, just like we do. Their elites hate the ethic and peoples that made Canada such a pleasant place and they're doing everything they can to destroy traditional Canada.

Of course being harnessed to a few million bitter francophones doesn't make the place easier to govern. French is moribund in North America and Canada spends an enormous amount of political capital trying to avert the inevitable.

>>French is moribund in North America<<

It's moribund in Europe, too.

C'est la vie.

Reply to post #17: Why is that? What about the 5 terrorists the canadian government let in last week? What about cover given to arab terrorists because the canadian politicians are afraid of losing votes from the ever increasing arab population in canada? What about your MPs who stand up in parliment and lobby for hamas to be allowed to set up shop in canada to garner arab votes as reported earlier this week on Fox News by a canadian commentator? As far as illegals go, I would rather have none, but if I had to choose, I would rather have millions from Mexico than millions from canada. Most American's who make the decision to immigrate to canada are communists and canada is the closest thing to their imagined marxist utopia this side of North Korea.
