america compared to canada?
why do i hear people say canada is better than america. i know its a lie but why are people saying that.
WHERE IS AMERICA AND WHERE IS CANADA.
canada is a liberals dream. its a privalege to be an american and be born in america but man please canada ARE YOU SERIOUS throughout the 20th century america was a leader and than there was russia. where is canada in the 20th century. canada was an assistant. don't give me a bias answer. i am giving you a basic fact. its like comparing a toyota corolla to a ferrari race car. and i am an american and i love my country no not the wars but the real republican america what it was in the 20th century but i agree the past 8 years of this 21st century isn't looking good.

When people blindly say one country is better than another without giving any criteria for what they are ranking the countries on, it is pure patriotism and not fact to be taken seriously. Canada or the US can be better depending on what you are talking about...
Military strength or raw average purchasing power, the US wins.
Hockey or UN ranking of country development, Canada wins.
Both lose to Colombia in the Happy Planet Index.
America has a crumbling economy, no jobs, continuous outsourcing, a terrible murder rate, the largest deficit ever, an apathetic and naive population (for the most part), political malfeasance, and a poor human rights record. I am so proud I am NOT American.
America is a thing of the past and now other countries are going to be leading in the future. I heard that in 20 years there might not even be a USA anymore.
On the other hand, Canada has been on the sidelines and has observed and learned from many of America's mistakes so maybe that's why it's a better place to live. Canada has harsher and substantially colder weather but that just goes to prove Canadians are, in general, tougher and more durable.
There is no better or worse here. It's merely a differant system of goverment. Each nation has it's own unique value system.You say canada is a liberal's dream..Not all things that are liberal are bad.Free health care for those that can't afford it is a good thing. What would you prefer-treat their illness with taxpayer's money, or have them die.Paying a living wage is another liberal thing.In our country we have a minimum wage that nobody can possibly live on that isn't even indexed for inflation. In a liberal country, a business has to pay an employee a living wage so he can support his family. If a business can't do that they can't operate in that country. If you work all your life and retire, in a liberal country, that retirement is guaranteed. In our country, if a company goes bankrupt,or uses the money in the retirement fund for other purposes, the retiree gets no retirement. So if you get past the bias thing, there are many assests you have by having a liberal goverment.
However, in all fairness I know exactly what you're getting at.The far left wing of the democratic party has taken over the party and all the excesses they are demanding has given the term liberalism a bad taste in you mouth- gay marriage,job quotas , the rights of the minority surpasses the rights of the majority, hate crimes-why is it more of a crime when a member of one race kills a member of another race and when the situation is reversed, it is less of a crime.Then there is the gun control issue.
There are only two things wrong with our country. The far left wing of the democratic party, and the far right wing of the republican party.80% of the american people are in the middle of these two things and they are getting fed up at the constant struggle for power between the two. They need to stop their bickering and simply do what's best for our country.
If people like ourselves, that love our country, start demanding that the political parties do what's best for our country, and not what's best for the political parties we can take back control of our destiny, and be the moral leader of the world once again, and have a nation that answers to the people instead of special interest groups that run the country.
Americans have a MUCH better judicial system. You do a crime you get the time. Here they get a slap on the wrist and a life term means MAYBE 10 years. Our system is a joke. Other than that I think both have good points. We all know here that you are stronger. Its a good thing we get along isn't it.
We've got free health care,less violence and guns,we're happier,and other countries don't detest us.I'm a proud Canadian.If you could stop waving your flag long enough,you'd see you are NOT the best country.You are the only ones who think you are.
