Conversely, I don't see a mass exodus of this country. So, apparently there's a lot of people out there that think we're the best. It's because we give them the most free sh!t, that's literally the only reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't just secure the border, they enforce it. Canada is quick to kick out illegals. For a country as liberal as they are, they have a very low threshold of tolerance for illegals.

I lived in Canada for a few years and they love it up there, although that's basically United States north but with under paid physicians.

There are only a handful of countries where I would rather be treated. Almost all medical advancements happen in the US. I worked with a Canuck, biggest Lefty I know. He's lived in the Bay Area for the past 20 years because... his then young child had a severe medical problem which couldn't be treated in Canada, or treated in a timely fashion. Doesn't stop him from talking shiot about the U.S. all of the time tho. It's discussions like that that make me want to build a dome around the U.S. and tell Canada "have fun dealing with Russia coming over the top for your oil, we're out."

It's discussions like that that make me want to build a dome around the U.S. and tell Canada "have fun dealing with Russia coming over the top for your oil, we're out." Yeah, when I was up there a lot of them hate the US and speak openly about it. Those of us who were from the US just laughed them off. Although, in my group of friends, the topic never really came up that much. Here's my big experience with their health care system. I had to go to the emergency room their once. I tore up my knee a little bit and needed stiches at the very least. Ended up getting 17 stitches. When I injured it I hobbled over to my apartment and grabbed a shirt that was lying on the floor of my room and tied it around my leg. A friend of mine called a cab and came along with. None of us had cars or even needed them. Got to the emergency room and after checking in I had to sit and wait 5 hours before I was called in. All the while I was sitting there swelling up and bleeding out of my knee into a t-shirt wrapped around it. There were like 15 people in the waiting area with some problem or another. When they finally called my name, they took me to a room and I got up on a table and waited there another 30 minutes til the doctor came in. The guy put numbing agent in my knee then left and came back about 20 minutes later and started to sew me up. Halfway through getting the stitches, he got called away and abruptly left. Came back 30 minutes later and said, "I'm the only doctor here today, A guy just died on me.", and he finished stitching me up and wrapping my leg and he left. So I left the hospital after being there for over 6-7 hours at the time, and went home via cab. Finally was getting some sleep and all of a sudden my knee starts to feel like all the nerves in my knee are on fire. I guess whatever he numbed my knee with was wearing off. Holy hell, I realized the doctor never gave me any pain killers or subscription for pain killers. I called a friend who I expected would have pain killers and he lived right across the street. He did have some and he brought some over. The next day like 4 of my friends stopped by, all bringing painkillers they had. Tylenol with codeine and the like.

Why do celebrities threaten to leave if their opposing candidate loses, and then they never do? Canada (and many other countries) have some pretty strict rules about coming in and staying. You have to have a job and provide proof that it's a long term situation. Celebrities learn what they need to do to actually "leave" and realize, oh. Yeah. I can't really do that. I recently looked up Ireland requirements and Germany - Germany is pretty strict requiring a sponsor, having to speak the language, and provide proof you have a job there and citizenship takes about 5 plus years, because you have to prove you're there for the long haul - not to just drain their resources. We pretty much let people in without any proof of ANYTHING. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for illegals from Mexico, I'm not sure how long it would take for them to get caught and deported. From what I've read it looks like they do a better job of removing illegals than the US does.
