[QUOTE=feelgood]Lets assume for a moment there that's what the Americans who wants to move to Canada are thinking...
1. Our legal system is even worse: It's very very very easy on offender.That's an exageration to be sure...

This is untrue. My father in law needed a similar surgery and had the operation within weeks of diagnosis... He needed it relatively quickly. Others don't need it all that quickly. For example, when did Bill Clinton find out that he needed that surgery? As far as I remember hearing, it was a month or so before the "scheduled" surgery. In Canada, like anywhere, if you need it now you get it now, otherwise you get scheduled.

First of all, this is another generalization. Yes there are problems with the system... what system is perfect. I don't know what you are talking about... I don't pay any extra bills to send my kid to school. Our University tuitions are still much lower than those south of the boarder.

Our electoral system has issues but they are paltry compared to other system's issues. The system is hardly stone age. It is a parlimentary system of government.

Yes, we pay higher taxes... but if you think our tax is high try living in Sweden... We get plenty of services for our taxes. It is a trade off... Taxed to death is an exageration. After taxes I still have enough to pay all my bills and buy all that crap I don't need.
