Canada's just filled with a bunch of fedora wearing beer snobs.

Min brings up a good point. We're carrying the shitheads -and- our continent........I shouldn't have omitted that...
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Turn of the last century you guys had alot going for you, while our prime minster was so drunk he throw up during an election debate.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
Hey we had a president puke on the prime minister of Japan.

There are other differences too.
The U.S. deficit is about 4% of GDP while Canada's is about 1%. Sales tax in Canada is significantly higher because of the national 5% sales tax. Income taxes for the bottom 50% of earner in both countries are about the same but higher earners pay significantly more taxes in Canada. So middle class and higher income Canadians both pay higher taxes when sales taxes are included. Canadian healthcare is 70% government funded while the U.S. system is 50% government funded (Medicare and Medicaid). Canadians live longer and have a lower infant mortality rate. The unemployment rate is significantly higher in Canada. Canadians are just 82% as productive as U.S. counterparts. U.S. citizens have a higher standard of living. Why the differences? I sure don't know but I can make some guesses. 1) Canada remained part of the U.K for much much longer than the U.S. and the parting in Canada's case was peaceful. As the U.K tended towards socialism, so too did Canada. 2) Canada has a parliamentary system of government and the U.S. does not. Parliamentary systems focus power in a winning party or coalition in a way that the U.S. system of legislative versus executive does not. 3) The U.S. has many more really large urban centers. 4) The U.S. has played the role of super-power for about 70 years now. That is a privilege/curse Canada has never had. 5) Canada does not boarder South America. 6) The U.S. has a much larger population. 7) Canada is officially bilingual and really has two cultures.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
