We want our government to insure us security? Excuse me but what is the name of the country that excuses anything in the name of "Security?" It gets so rediculous that Reagan thought that the contras threatened the Security of the USA so he illegally supported terrorists, the Contras to kill over 100 thousand women and children and destabilize Central America to the point where they have not recovered to this day. The list of crimes commited by the USA in the name of security is very long. Hoe about the trillions of dollars the USA spends in the name of National security. You think I'm stupid or something to listen to such nonsense? The people that live in these neighbourhoods are responsible for these conditions and they are lacking in self respect? What planet do you live on anyway. What responsibility do these poor people have for what should be a municiple responsibility? we have poor people here too but we don't make them live in a rat infested polluted waste land. Your last point about Canadians having no history to make us matter is one of the most ignorant statments that I have ever heard. We have fought both in WW1 and WW2 long before the USA either thought or saw that it was a cause worth fighting for. We have created a just society where the rights of all people are respected. We have a multicultural society where every race and creed is really welcome,yes even Muslims. We have a new constitution that is the envy of the entire world wherever freedom is sought. We enjoy the respect and admiration of almost every country on the globe. We have the healthyest financial system on the planet and the list just goes on and on my friend. What are you Jealous?
Yes, my prejudice is showing, I'm not trying to hide it.
Comparing Canada to the U.S. is ludicrous.
Canadians are in fact a hardy bunch and a resourceful lot, making them quite resilient and capable. The fact is that few migrate north to beautiful Canada. The migration is from below the equator, north, and from oppressive nations of the east. And, not to Canada. Canada I'm sure would be happy, at least for a while to live up to the words on the Statue of Liberty, but, the poor, hungry and down trodden aren't interested.
Now, for the main ingredient. "BAD PEOPLE" bad people do not like cold. They function well in the heat. Running around shirtless, doing what they do doesn't work well in parkas. Parkas provided by the government I would presume.
I have heard little about the condition of Canada's economic health from anyone. Likely irrelevant.
By the way, America's economic health is not that bad. Obama, true to leftist form, has spent the last year convincing Americans how bad off they are as they sip their "lateahs" and slip into their SUV's or BMW's. His lies, which are why I consider him "evil" have had the effect of diminishing the markets and are driving the U.S. economy further and further down, from which he hopes to pull it out, thus being the hero. His strange ideas might work in Canada, a nation of "Canadians" (Europeans). Will not work in America where few are contributors and those who actually create jobs are demonized by the leftist leaches.
