Do you realize how many men died fighting for this country so you can have your freedoms? That post it total disrespect to everybody that has ever served in our military.

If you don't like it, pack your shit and get the hell out, nobody will miss you and your anti-American attitude!

Justin, not saying I don't agree with you, I was in the military and got out almost 2 years ago, but please tone it down a little.

 

Goes for everyone, clean it up a bit and don't bash where people are from or prefer to live. I debated going to school in Canada. I don't live in a perfect place but I live well and it sucks here at times, but it has its upside as well. I don't want to be forced to lock this up. It started out as a decent thread

I pay about $100/month but because I work for a smallish company it costs more. Bigger companies tend to be cheaper. Family insurance might be like $230. If someone is spending $800/month for insurance they're getting shafted. And my overall deduction percentage isn't even 30% not counting 401k contribution so I don't know where those numbers come from. I have lots of customers I've talked at length with in Canada about taxation and such and Canada definitely takes a bigger bite, especially in the eastern provinces but y'all seem to get more shit from it- like your govt is a bit better at spending the tax dollars but then again it's the US that keeps the bad guys overseas in line. This budget crap is complex. :lol:

 

Ya lolololol we will fight, but say sorry after. USA doesn't keep bad guys at bay LOL, they start wars and NEVER leave, all for profit. War=money. Doesn't take a brainiac to figure that out.

 

Either way, not one country is better than another. Cabana/USA are both beautiful countries, some good some bad points. I personally love goin down past the line, only thing I don't like is the big cities. People are just plain ignorant... I grew up only 1 hour from the border of northern Minnesota. Americans are really nice people, it really is a great country. But some people need to realize that their country whether Canada or USA isn't the greatest...saw this on my Facebook te other day from an American friend..

Well when I can drive an hour south, cross the border into Watertown ny and buy a case of beer for half of what I pay here, convert the gas, the us is still under a dollar per litre... When we pay 1.20+. Vehicles are quite a bit cheaper there. That 60k Cadillac... Yeah prolly 90 here. Just saying, we get nailed with taxes everywhere and high taxes. But again, I grew up with it, I'm used to it.

You should post some window stickers. Have seen or read where guys buying what ever top end half ton pick up there & sticker for about what a three quarter ton diesel does state side. Now, some of the discounts are insane, but the initial sticker price is jaw dropping.

My buddy just paid $80k taxes in for a duramax Denali DRW, that's in Alberta too. In Ontario add another 7% tax. My woman's 12' equinox It's an lt2, NAV, back up cam, GFX package, undercoat, 6 year bumper to bumper factory warranty. $35,000...

 

My neighbour picked up a brand new king ranch f-350 SRW for $78,000...

 

Vehicles, rv's, boats, sleds, quads, dirt bikes...usually 25% cheaper across the border even after border fee's...

A few years ago a friend of mine was hauling cars from Phoenix AZ to Sweet Grass MT every week. They were generally classic or luxury & the buyers all said the same thing, it was cheaper to import them than to buy them up there.

If you think the US is the greatest country on the planet to LIVE in your wrong. I'm not trying to bash the US but it is not the best country to live in. I'm not even going to say Canada is the best to live in.

 

I dont even think in the world opinion the US makes top 10 on many different top 10's. I'm not saying the US isn't good to live in, but no way in hell is it the best to live in and that is a fact.

 

If you think it is the best that would be your opinion at best not a FACT

Guess I'm wrong then, isn't the first time won't be the last.

How many countries have you lived in? Just wondering from experience you know this FACT or just from what you read on the interweb.

Well it has got to be true if it was on the internet. You know that... :lol:

 

Everyone has pride in their home country as they should.

Every country will have its pros and cons. Some have more pros than cons as well. I'll agree it sucks that everything seems to be more expensive but in the end, I'm proud to be Canadian. I'm glad we have our health system even if it isn't the greatest at times and I'm glad to have our us neighbours to the south of us since they provide a lot of protection for our country and some entertaining reality TV. But our beer is better, maybe that's why we pay a premium

I'm glad someone watches those awful shows and keeps the studio in business. Surprised you get that stuff already- I thought Canada just got rebroadcasts of shows from the 1980s. :lol:

 

 

I do envy your poutines though! Love that stuff. :lol:

Every country/state/province/city has its pluses and minuses and I'll leave it at that.



We have a restaurant here in town that you'd really like Mike because all they serve is poutine.
