Canada has free health care, which I envy

no you dont at all
also dingdong u guys will probably be getting it soon cuz of obama.

I wouldn't want to live in Canada. At least half the US isn't freezing. 

I suspect that at one point in the future, the US will sink because of obese, overpopulated areas.
I own a life jacket, so I'll be the one floating there. You'll notice me.

Another steriotypist... you know not ALL Americans are obese. I mean look at me ( you can't XD) I eat Macdonalds and stuff and I'm not fat or chubby, I'm actualy very athletic X3

The 13th place!

Nah, just joking. I'm not afraid of the number 13, and not at all Friday the 13th. We went over to a friend's house once!

The US, has the greatest number of obese people of any country at around 237 million obese people.

Anyways, here are some pros that Canada has over the US as well as some cons

PROS
+Free health care
+No major propaganda stations (ie Faux News)
+No dominating religion, in Toronto we have mosques and catholic, church and churches that hold service in different languages 
+No guns and much reduced violence and crime
+Racism not a big issue (I've heard some bad things about the states...)
+Bagged milk and $1 coins

CONS
-Heavy tax
-More difficult to make successful businesses
-Bad media industry (try to name 3 good Canadian films...)
-Relies on states too much (most of our business goes to the US)

1. Racism isn't as much of a deal anymore like it was in the '60s. The problem is that the news media makes it sound like it is, which is kind of giving the US a bad image. Take CNN for example. During the the 2008 election, it was always, "Let's take a look at the charts to see how many votes McCain and Obama got from Black, White, Asian, etc people." It's not really not neccisary to look at that, and it makes it seem like racism is a big deal here, which it's not. The reason racism was never that big of a deal in Canada is because you guys aren't nearly as racialy diverse as us.

2. We have mosques, churches (for most of the major denominations), a chinese church, and synagogs, at least here in Memphis.

3.  I think you mean Fox News right?

4. The news media really sucks here in the US. I don't even watch it unless it's a big story or something good. Everytime I turn it on, "This just in, someone was shot and killed at wherever." Next story its the same thing! Really I like watching CNN.

5. What do you mean bagged milk? We have $1 coins.

This shows how much you know about Canada. Canada is one of the most racially diverse countries and is certainly more diverse than the US.

2. We have mosques, churches (for most of the major denominations), a chinese church, and synagogs, at least here in Memphis.

But Christinaity dominates, whereas in Canada there is no dominate religion

3.  I think you mean Fox News right?
Faux=false
Thus the term false news is more appropriate

4. The news media really sucks here in the US. I don't even watch it unless it's a big story or something good. Everytime I turn it on, "This just in, someone was shot and killed at wherever." Next story its the same thing! Really I like watching CNN.

Yeah, too much propaganda and fear drivers

5. What do you mean bagged milk? We have $1 coins.
