Somebody get a mop... I smugged all over the place.

I'm seriously thinking of applying to grad school in Canada instead of the U.S. just for the health care.

See thread below about comedy benefit in NYC for dude whose insurer won't pay for his emergency surgery.

Yeah, Canada's seeming pretty awesome right about now.

coco ebert: I'm seriously thinking of applying to grad school in Canada instead of the U.S. just for the health care.

That's pretty funny, because yeah, we just throw it out for free to anyone who shows up here for a visit.

coco ebert: Yeah, Canada's seeming pretty awesome right about now.

Ummmm... I think we make you live, and pay taxes, here for a couple of years before letting you on that ride... otherwise, you gotta pay.

Double check that though, I frequently "talk out of my ass"

I spent a couple of weeks in Toronto and was kind of shocked at how clean and nice it was. Somehow it just didn't feel like a big city even though it obviously was. Portland, Oregon gave me somewhat of a similar feel if you've ever been there.

Although I would live in a big city, I kind of prefer the middle to small sized cities (100-250k people).

I'm pretty sure you have to become a citizen, the methods and rules for that are listed on their website. I looked a while back when considering a job in Canada, but if I remember right you just have to have $10,000 in the bank and they'll let you move there and work towards citizenship. You don't have to pay the $10,000 or anything, you just have to have it. I guess they don't want too many hard luck cases moving there.

Hmm, actually subby, Toronto is #4 on this list, but whatever, I still like it here just as much as I did 10 seconds ago when I thought we were #3.

Stop rubbing it in, you damn Canucks.

My ex-boyfriend went from Peru to Canada, then to the US. He hates the US so bad that he's now in Vancouver again. He loves it there.

Stupid Canada, taking all our hot, Latino men away. And he's a professional chef. I had a hot, Latino man who would cook for me, and you jerks stole him away with your "national health care" and "politeness."

I hate Canada.

I'm not sure being easy is something to be proud of, Canada.

I've always found Canadian women quite easy

Is the Queen still on your money?

Goddamn it! Stop telling people about how great Canada is. It only encourages "foreigners" to move here. Just shut up and let the suckers think Canada is a frozen wasteland with outdoor plumbing, a moose in every backyard, and a beaver in every pot.

Nothing to see in Canada, folks. You'll want to swing south for the US of A or keep going northwest to live with Sarah and the frontiersmen.

Agent Nick Fury: I've always found Canadian women quite easy

Yeah, I found that to be true on my trip to Toronto as well.

I agree. On my way to work today, my dog team was attacked twice by polar bears. This made me late, so I couldn't even stop for some pemmican and moose-meat at the Tim Hortons. And then when I got in, after I scraped the morning ice off of my monitors, there was another farking penguin stuck in the coffee machine. I hate Mondays.

Vancouver's my home town. I think we still have some work to do, especially when it comes to drugs, homelessness and poverty, but all in all, I'd agree that it's one of the best places in the world to live.

/were the judges in any way influenced by our special cash crop? ;-)

They took Freddie Mercury off, I think.

What, are you an idiot, just stay in the US and tell them you're an illegal alien. You could kill two birds with one stone...free health care and education.

Knows all about being awesome, and knows it doesn't come from Canada.

And you've got to stop relying on Luongo for everything.

There's that socialized healthcare rearing it's ugly head again.

Sinister Steve: Is the Queen still on your money?

This. Canada seems okay, except for the bowing to a queen part.

mycatisposter: Sinister Steve: Is the Queen still on your money?

The likelihood of ever having to bow to the Queen in person or even in a figurative sense is pretty low. Even Canadian Politics rarely mentions the ... Inspector General? Whoever the hot chick is right now.

Goddamn man, you too?

Guess on that logic Britney, Madonna and christina Aguilera are awesome too?

Canada would be really awesome to live in.
Universal health care, more sensible laws, decent public transport, lots of unspoiled wilderness...

But it's so farking cold and covered with snow most of the year that there's no way I'd ever actually move there.

We'll talk when global warming really kicks in.

easy as in boring.

Although not a hot Latino, I will cook for you and share your hatred for Canada.... for a price.

/sweet, dirty payments.

I noticed Canada can be cold from time to time

But then it is still Canada.

Easy != good.

Microwave mac and cheese is easy. Jerking off instead of finding a hot lady to bone is easy. Reading a shiatty novel instead of a challanging one is easy.

Almost nothing worthwhile in life is easy. I think putting canada in the nothing worthwhile category seems about right.

That list only applies in the Summer, right?

It's not so bad. The money has the Queen's face on the front.




But you can turn it over and look at her bear behind.

Canada is great! Sweden on the other hand, a frozen wasteland and so on...(Island vs Greenland, clever Vikings)

Canadian and Australian cities hold six of the top 10 slots in the Economist Intelligence Unit's liveability poll, which ranks cities on five factors: health-care, stability, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.

Toronto is many things, but cultured it ain't. Toronto's biggest claim to fame is the fact that it is multicultural, which is great...until you realize that every frigging large city in the western hemisphere is multicultural. Toronto is a city that struggles for an identity very badly.

What they neglected to mention were the property taxes, which work to Toronto's benefit. I do not like Toronto, but it has very low property taxes for a city with its size and services. Perhaps that's why the city is going broke, but the taxes sure are low.

always look forward to hockey tourneys in BC - great people.

Are cavemen doing it?

Was this survey conducted before the recession? Last time I went to Vancouver, about two months ago, it was dirty, there were bums everywhere, and Chinatown, which used to be my favorite part, was practically empty, with all stores and restaurants closed by 7 on a Saturday and hookers roaming the streets. Parts of the city are still nice, it's still fun to visit every once in awhile, but the bum problem + the horrible traffic and roads lead me to prefer Bellingham. (Or even Seattle.)

The only reason people think Canada is awsome is all that free weed and topless beaches.
If you cut them off from their stash and cover up their boobies their ratings would drop.

Canada is like the goody-two-shoes nerd who reminds the teacher that she hasn't assigned any homework 30 seconds before the final bell rings.

Calm down, there's still plenty of latin men where I live. There seems to be more and more every month, too. Funny, almost as if the place I live is better than the place they're from.

Considering what you look like, I'm sure you were only able to bed the fatties. Not a huge accomplishment there champ.

Vancouver's awesome, but some of the worst drivers in the world live there.

Or maybe it's just a BC law in general where a red traffic light is a "mere suggestion".

ObscureNameHere looks up from his Mississauga tax bill, laughs at the Torontonians.

I was in Vancouver last year and loved that city.

/That is all.
//It's warmer in the winter than the city where I currently reside.

Good to know.

/Will be in Vancouver this October.

In fact, I think the confusion of having three different people who officially "run" our country is a good thing - somehow it helps quell the mythology of surrounding the real head of state (the Prime Minister) so we don't get the weird President-obsessing you guys get down south.
