extensive social safety net and universal health care system

Just saying it doesn't make it true.

I was just in Toronto over Labor Day Weekend for the World Science Fiction Convention. Heard lots of Canadians b!tching about their health care--women basically have to pay through the nose to get to see a gynecologist, and anyone requiring expert assisstance heads to the States. Also I tripped over panhandlers every thirty feet while walking through downtown Toronto.

But on the other hand, the streets were clean. Just like Moscow!

I was also in Toronto for WorldCon. I have a Sirius satellite radio in my car. I had figured the signal would peter out at the border, with maybe a little reception just on the other side. To my surprise, Sirius reception was good everywhere I drove in Canada, including up to the Martyrs Shrine on Georgian Bay. I imagine they can't sell receivers to Canadians, but the signal is there and comes in just as strong as in the States.
