I am not Canadian and have not spent a lot of time there. I went to Niagra falls once...Both sides looked the same. I once heard some canadian politician had big problems due to some affair he had. I also heard story's about parts of Canada wanting to break away and form their own country. They want to speak French I think. I thought America was the only place that had political problems. Of course no one in the USwants to start another country. How do you duplicate the best. I know a lot of Canadians come to the South of our country for vacation. They are very welcome and spend lots of money here. None of them are poor. Do they have poor people in Canada? According to what I see....everybody must be loaded. Must be nice. Maybe its because of all the great, free Health Care. Those Canadians that come here use our health care system while they are here. Do they die a lot when they are here? I dont think so...they dont go home to cure the probelm. As for our poor...I come from a family that had no money. We lived in a tenement in NYC. My Grandparents were immigrants and it was a slow hard start. No one died for lack of health care and generations of poor people became middle class or even rich. Hard work..the American way...Today I am retired and iving the American dream. That type of thing goes on here all the time. As for America helping out the rest of the world...Thats a no brainer. It's a good thing Canada is on the same continent as us or they would be speaking a different language. Not that they didnt stand up and be counted...they did but the good old USA was and still is ther power that protects so many.
