You see, THIS is precisely why I'm proud to be Canadian. It must be nice to live in a country that teaches you to be as retarded as this. 'tstan30' maybe try getting your grade 9 before you enter into a war of words with ANY Canadian. Last time I checked one does not 'grovel' in free health care, Canada HAS an Army, and in NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM does the United States rule ANYTHING. Take a cue from the rest of the WORLD: we LOATHE your pathetic, obese, bigoted asses! Stupid rat fuck! Ha

Free my butt....ive been to canada and half my dinner bill was a bunch of freaking weird taxes. Ready for it guys? Lq tax, goods and services tax, provincial sales tax, harmonized sales tax....on a dinner bill!
Submitted by bsitz on Mar 1, 10 at 3:11pm
Fool. The harmonized sales tax, which has not been passed in every province, is a combination of two other taxes. Therefore, you would not see three separate taxes on a dinner bill. Also, food is not taxed in Canada so the only way your dinner bill would have been up of 50% taxes would have been if you had nothing but booze for dinner.
Submitted by WUT on Mar 1, 10 at 3:21pm
This thread is out of fucking control!! I love it! Everyone is Insane!!
Fool? I ate there once and im supposed to remember everything i was charged? I remember my jaw dropping when i saw what you guys tax...and that i paid over 180 dollars for a dinner for two at T.G.I FRIDAYS! Which would have been maybe 60 bucks in the US.
Yeah, We do pay more tax. We do however pay much less in the hospital, school etc.
If you have no clear recollection of the events then how can you have argument to comment on it?
I've eaten at plenty of restaurants in both countries. The prices are pretty much the same. Canadians pay maybe an extra 5-10% sales tax, depending which province/state you compare. And you're probably the first person in history to spend $90/head at TGI Friday's - a family of four can eat there comfortably for that price.
Submitted by Herschel on Mar 1, 10 at 5:00pm
If you dont remember everything you were charged why did you bother posting that comment? Obviously you have no idea how much you actually spent.

to be fair to this ignorant ass-hat, if i spent 180 dollars on booze at TGI fridays i might not remember what happened either. We don't mind paying more taxes when half of the money doesn't go to bombing anything that moves

No grace and no dignity from the USA. Some Americans really are very disrespectful, arrogant people. It's a shame for the Americans who don't behave this way because they get lumped in with the jerks. I'm very proud to be Canadian and that pride grows when I see that the people from my country are intelligent, respectful people who don't feel the need to resort to needlessly attacking people whenever given the opportunity.

i would rather pay 10k a year than 40k so i will stay at the school with the best Psychology program in north America.

Some people may have a Canadian flag while traveling (I never did that) but its not because we have an alter-ego where we wish that we're Canadian- it's because your country has so little power and does NOTHING that nobody really has strong feelings about Canada.

Its because we are peace keepers, rather than war mongers. America goes in, fucks up a country, and Canada comes in and actually does some good, we help people and we don't flag-wave when we do it. America carpet-bombs an entire country to find one man, then waves a flag in the faces of the injured, grieving and dying and says "You're welcome."
examples, please.

Most pertinently, you should read the letter from the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court to the Hague regarding the 2003 invasion of Iraq. \n\nAlso, more specifically, there is the 1998 bombing of the El Shifa pharmaceutical factory in Khartoum in some sort of vengeance for the recent embassy bombings, which devastated the rural areas in need of medecine.

Furthermore, I would mention the massacres of the Sioux at Wounded Knee, the Moros in the Philipines, Italian POWs at Biscari, Korean civilians at No Gun Ri, Vietnamese civilians at My Lai. \n\nThen there was the massive casualties in the Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden bombings. Given that it was WW2 and the total-war situation, some may argue that they are justified. Still, it is a massive loss of civilian life.
Sorry to the rest of America but the reason the rest of the world hates you is because of clowns like this guy.

OKAY! Obviously the USA brought home more medals than any other country. They pour truck loads more money (aka your tax dollars, Americans) into their athletes. Yes, Canada funded an Own the Podium program recently to sponsor our athletes, but it was still nothing in comparison to the USA. Canada chooses to instead put more taxes towards welfare, health care, homeless shelters, government assisted housing, things that MATTER to the people who live here. But keep it up USA.

Exactly!!! And were happy to wake up here! Instead of waking up in a country where they're forced and convinced through propaganda to love.
I am loving how you love to call us ignorant, but you know nothing about us either. I, for one, am proud that one of my ancestors tried to take over Canada once upon a time in the GRC campaign in the Revolution. Didn't work out, it was a bit cold and short a few men, but its the effort that counts!
Just another failure on America's abysmal track record.
Yeah, recalling the exposition to finish off the worlds strongest super power of the time to start our own country when everybody said we couldn't is really a failure.
Yeah, my favourite part of that is when you were pushed back so far and ended up with the smaller chunk of land. You're like the drug addicted son of England. We fought and fought, but decided it wasn't worth it, gave you a small chunk of land above Mexico with limited natural resources, and disowned you.

Yeah but we do have Charity care....which waves the fees of people that cant afford health care...so try again

You're right. We should focus on more noble causes, like making sure any jack-ass that wants a high powered firearm can have one. How about the huge medical advances you have because of Canadians.
Submitted by Gimp360 on Mar 2, 10 at 10:25am
examples, please. \nAnd yes, we have the right to bear arms. As Thomas Jefferson once said, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." In other words, when our government no longer serves the needs of the people, "it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." All governments turn sour (even yours will someday, sorry), but what are you going to do when
So, when someone feels the government no longer serves them, that person can shoot the government? I'll probably vote against the government that no longer suits my needs. I have nothing against gun ownership, I have a few myself. I'm against everyone being allowed to own them. I guess one example would be the HIV/AIDs vaccine developed by a professor at the university of western ontario. http://www.india-server.com/news/new-aids-vaccine-ready-for-trials-8324.html

I wonder what the tax rate is to pay for all that "free" health care?
Believe me, it's worth it. If I'm sick in the hospital, I want to be focused on getting better, not focused on how my family or I are going to pay for the bill. Some unfortunate Americans have to sell their homes because they didn't see an illness in their future. That's so unfair. The taxes that get us free health care keep us Canadians prepared for any unexpected hospital visit looming around the corner. I consider myself lucky.

Hockey and maple syrup is all Canadians have. Let them gloat a bit before they return to obscurity.

Hockey, Maple syrup, Lumber, which we sell to you cheap. Ditto for oil. We have 9% of the worlds fresh water. Most of the rest of it is frozen or underground, MUCH better beer, fantastic whiskey, we invented hockey, lacrosse, basketball, superman...The list goes on and on. You're welcome.
I'd shoot myself in the brain if I was American. As a Canadian, I have access to bursaries, grants and low interest loans from the Government for my schooling all because I am permanently disabled. I have been also given a laptop by our government because I am a person with a disability and am attending full time university. I love my country and I know if I was in the US they wouldn't treat me so well!
If you are disabled or foreign you get a crap load of rights in America.
way better than a laptop and cheap schools... we give houses and basically pay your way for the rest of your life... just sayin not hatin
Are you kidding me?! Pave your way for the rest of your life?! The capitalist society doesn't give a shit about anyone, especially new Americans/Canadians and those with a disability. I would really really REALLY like to see that statement backed up with some hard facts. In fact, isn't the American society refereed to as a "melting pot"? Meaning everyone is forced to assimilate to one standard way of living? I feel like that's just pure bull shit.
Just FYI- America is referred to as a melting pot not because we force everybody to act the same way, but because when people from so many cultures live together, our cultures rub off on each other. Obviously, a completely homogeneous culture will never be achieved and conflict remains, but we are not perfect (but closer to perfect that Canada!) For proof of that statement, at least people actually WANT to immigrate here where we have this 'melting pot' and people dont just move there t
Actually, we have a much more diverse society with many different prominent cultures thriving, instead of being covered up and assimilated. People only immigrate to America because you have a better catch phrase; "The American Dream", where anybody can come, forget where they came from, and do work that fat lazy Americans don't want to do, but will later bitch about losing to the immigrants.
Gimp, if people come to America because we have a better catch phrase, then don't say that we're the ignorant ones. and if you read my post, the phrase doesnt refer to covering up or assimilating, as each culture naturally influences the other. And yeah, the illegal immigrants take grunt work jobs for less pay (not necessarily because we dont want the jobs). Face it, America is the Super Power of the world, you people are jealous because you feel you're superior whilst not being recogni
In response to your post at 5:24pm. America does have opportunities that third world countries don't. Canada has all those perks and then some. One of which being you're not here. America is A super power not THE super power. if half the countries that hated you decided to invade America would be done just by sheer numbers. And whats to be jealous of? Our government is better, our health care is better, our athletes, comedians, music, poverty line, beer, resources and people. And no republicans.

You beat us in hockey. Congratulations. Take ANY other sport in the world, and we wouldn't need OT to beat you at our own game.
But we did take any other sport in the world and beat you at it. That's why we have more gold medals than you.
And we have more overall medals then you....something we havent done in like 50-70 years. When one of your olympians gets 6 golds in one olympics....come holla
Sorry, havent won the overall medal count in a long time....who knows when the last time we beat you guys.
US also has ten times the amount of people than Canada and a hell of a lot more funding for their Olympic team so by that logic, shouldn't the US have ten times the amount of medals?
More silvers. Congrats. You're the first loser. And more bronze. Congrats again, you're the losers to the first losers.
No no, I don't believe that was the request that was made. The request was, and I quote, "Take ANY other sport in the world, and we wouldn't need OT to beat you at our own game". Now, counting gold medals (ie. the BEST of the best) we did, in fact, beat you. Quite severely, actually.

We were neutral in both world wars until provoked (use that term loosely when talking about WWI) and we funded both sides. Yes, we used Germans for missiles and jets, but they were assholes so they had it coming. Vietnam was started by the French... know your history. And we didn't just 'happen' to back the stonger Korean side, it was based upon our policy of containment (also for Vietnam). There really wasn't any open hostilities with the Soviets, they did collapse because
Oh, and by the way, say what you want about the current gulf war, but you guys are still there, right? So, define win now: Winning a medal, or being the country that can get you to join a war you have nothing to do with and don't care for and get your fellow citizens killed?
Your country seems to be doing a pretty good job of killing our soldiers after we go try and be good neighbors. Though our military has stayed out of Iraq and stuck with Afghanistan, the country that actually should have been invaded. By the way, still didn't disprove anything, you still haven't won a war you started save for the civil war.
its funny how people bitch and complain about canada... yu guys are pathedic and should just get over it!
Ok. So usually I just come on this site for a laugh, but I had to create an account so that I could comment on this thread. I honestly don't believe in stereotyping, but how can Americans be so ignorant? The things I have read in this thread are hilarious. Do the math, your country has how many times our population? So, wouldn't it make sense that you would have a higher total amount of medals? However, when we have a higher percentage of GOLD medals than you, what does that tell you?
Ahem, short answer: no. Higher population does not mean that we have more people competing in the Olympics. Its not like Each country sends over a certain percentage of its population. Also, it takes a lot of funding to go to the Olympics, so it would be financially irresponsible to just send every person we had that knew how to ski, for example.
Athletes get sponsored by companies to go. The government doesn't pay for it. Care to try again?
...but you did have more people competing. and chances are: if you have a higher population, you'll have more athletes, sort of correlates, get it?

Just because you have a national health care system doesn't make it better. Answer me this my Canadian friends...why do so many of you leave Canada to seek health care in America? Oh thats right....you have to wait 15 years to get to the top of donor lists even if you have 2 years to live. Yeah....your system rocks! Oh and ive been to Canada...dont you guys tax the hell out of everything to pay for that Healthcare system? My dinner bill was half taxes!
As a Canadian whose aunt recently underwent transplant surgery after nine months on a waiting list I would have to say your above statement is a gross exaggeration. Oh and no, your dinner bill would not be half taxes. We don't tax food in Canada only alcohol. Please, if you're going to make statements at least make REAL statements instead of uselessly lying.
Really?!? The United States did over 25k organ transplants last year. Canada, did 1800. Something aint right. And btw my dinner bill for two was close to two hundred dollars for TGI Fridays; couldnt have all been LQ...
The something that "ain't right" is your basic understanding of population. The US has ten times the population of Canada so it would make sense that the US does way more organ transplants.
In addition to Greggles' comment you may want to also consider the basic health of the citizens. That being a lessened necessity for Canadians to receive transplants vs. the increasingly poor health of the American population.
Oh and yes, "really". Being that it is a family member I am very close to I can surely account for the timeline and validity of her procedure, thank you very much.
haha, maybe because our population is ridiculously lower than yours, moron.
If you spent two hundred dollars at a restaurant up here, you either spent at least half of it on liquor or you ordered four appetizers each.
you have 10x the people as us so that's one thing and Canadians are healthier because we can see the sky where we live, the pollution isn't blocking the view
yeah, ever hear of the Midwest? Going to school in Iowa I took way too much shit about living out in the middle of nowhere to be stereotyped by a Canadian about being overcrowded! I mean, even Americans make fun of us out here and its not because 'the pollution... block[s] the view" but because corn does. Only along the coast is the the population highly condensed. Chicago too I guess, gotta represent.
haha a fucking fat, ignorant american like yourself would spend 200 dollars at a restaurant like TGI fridays...and not make the obvious connection that more people equals more organ transplants. Get your head out of your ass!!

at least we can get a transplant if we don't have insurance, there they will just let you die without even trying to save you if you have no insurance or money to pay, i will take my chance over no chance at all
Where are the Twin Towers?! Ops, sorry
Tasteless.
My friend would like to add, "The game was good on both parts. I admit I was upset when the U.S. lost and was mad I'm not afraid to admit it. But it's just another game. Both teams did do well. Canada can't say much because they would be upset if we won. Besides. next week no one will care about medals."
Oh trust me. We'll still care.
Really though, canadians? You're getting so upset when 99% of people on this website are teenage and college-age boys who make up maybe 5% of the American population. You can't judge us based on tfln just like we shouldn't judge you. This is over hockey, you guys. HOCKEY. Gather your tiny balls and go back to doing whatever you were doing (useful or not) before you decided to troll.
So are you part of the 1% of the people on this site that just have nothing better to do with their lives than live vicariously through teenagers and college students? Also, maybe you shouldn't condemn us for "judging" you while accusing us of having no balls.

we dont really like it... we just put up with it
Then why is it your "national pastime" if no one likes it?
theres no official national pastime. its something that people that like baseball say to make them not seems like such idiots for liking such a boring game. we're on your side with that one.
People please were both intertwined too much for all this I mean you can't even describe canadas location with out mentioning America....

Yeah...no Americans play for Canadian teams. \n\nWait....I don't think that's right...
Until a player is a free agent he does not have control over the team in which he plays for. Please educate yourself on the base rules behind the NHL before you comment. Oh uh... but if that's the logic you're going to use two team USA players play for Canadian teams: the Vancouver Canucks and the Toronto Maple Leafs. I think I'll claim the gold AND the silver on your argument. Aw snap, another bronze for the Americans.
OK, let's not get out of hand calling the Leafs a hockey team here.
2:36, tfln is American made, just like anything else worthwhile - if you want something, you have to get off your socialist ass to get it
Submitted by toots1 on Mar 1, 10 at 2:41pm
Well, I can't find any reference saying TFLN is american made other than the fact it's hosted in the US... But the site design was done by a Canadian based company, so you may be half right. Not sure what that is supposed to prove though?
Submitted by JamesGray on Mar 1, 10 at 3:13pm
Actually, two american college drop outs made TFLN.....so please try again. And who cares who designed it.....lowest bidder doesnt mean better quality
college dropouts! in America! shocking!
I like how whenever Americans are faced with something they don't understand, its socialist, or communist, or just simply evil. How narrow minded. I enjoy my free health care. Sometimes I go to the hospital just because I can.
yeah, except in this case, free healthcare is socialist.
thank you for proving my point
: so·cial·ism \nPronunciation: \\ˈsō-shə-ˌli-zəm\\\nFunction: noun\nDate: 1837\n1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods\n\nIn this case, the product is actually a service, but still government controlled.\n\nBitch.
Our government funds hospitals. They do not own or run them. Bitch.
right cause all Canadians are socialists, why because we have universal health care and pension plans.. sorry but we're better off than america
@ all Canadians are Socialist: Cause that is why we have a Conservative (thats republican for all you americans out there) Prime Minister right now, eh?
thank fucking God for that fact!!!

The only people anybody can stereotype are texans. It's because they're all fat and retarded and love to roll with the mexicans.
Wow seriously? Have you ever been to Texas???
1. I am American and I live in TX. To the people who keep saying that Texans sleep with their cousins..wrong! I have never met anyone here who was incest.\n2. I love Canada!\n3. I have AMAZING healthcare (I know not everyone is as lucky as me) and I have lots of heart problems so it's not just like I have a yearly exam. I have had surgery etc.\n4. I get my college paid for.\n5. Yes we Americans tend to be competitive and sometimes we are jerks about it, but I don't think the text was meant

I like how the only war America started that it also won, was the Civil war. They can only win when they are fighting themselves. Canada on the other hand, has never lost a war. Remember when we defeated America? That was sweet.
are you on crack?
...except the hundreds of thousands who play it, the thousands who fund it and the millions who watch it. Yeah. No one.
Pretty sure there's more people playing hockey around the world than there are football.
Canada: barely a step up from the world's shit stain, France.
Does that make the USA day-old period blood or something? Damn near all sources agree that both France and Canada are better places to live than the United States, you may want to rethink things a bit.
ass hole. at least canada and france have to common sense to have free health care. which i'm thinking you need for that brain injury.
Why do you randomly hate France?
Because they were the only country on the UN Security Council to veto the American led invasion of Iraq.
Funny story - Russia, China, and France all vetoed it. Of course, nobody with any common sense gives a shit about the UN, but it wasn't just France.
Right, because that turned out to be such a great fucking idea

The British? You know, they may have done that but at least they had balls about it! Canada may have had balls when it was still backed by England but once it became sovereign it became a pussy. Still, being a commonwealth, you still have to recognize the queen (while having no real authority). Though it is mainly symbolic, America refuses to kowtow to anyone else- We may be proud and arrogant at times, but let me tell ya something: We're real fuckin cocky cause we're real fuckin good!
You see? even those who aren't completely ignorant still hate Canada
Yeah, we don't forget where we come from. We have the queen over once in a while for a visit, then go back to keep America afloat with our natural resources. You remember what natural resources are, right? those things you squandered years ago? You're not cocky because you're good, you're cocky because you don't know any better.
yeah, we may take some of Canada's natural resources, but without America (you know, that country you borrow your entire culture from?) you guys would have no economy.
"without America (you know, that country you borrow your entire culture from?) you guys would have no economy."\n\nAmerica has a culture now? When did that happen? We have a multicultural society. Meaning we don't just accept one culture, like our ignorant neighbors to the south. Our culture is much more rich, our people are nicer, in better shape, and our country is much more beautiful than the states. Oh, and when America outsources its jobs to other countries including canada it ma


We care, and take care.
Cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, fish...................... all receive loving care in the comfort of your home.
Many domestic pets prefer to stay at home even when their owners are away. This might be because they are territorial like cats, or that they just don't feel comfortable in unfamiliar surroundings.
We provide a service called 'pet sitting' whereby they can stay at your house and be looked after there in the comfort and familiarity of home. Depending on the type of pet you have and their needs relating to age, diet and medication, we visit either once a day or several times to ensure they get the care they need and which you normally provide.
We do not move in or stay overnight. That type of service is called home sitting.
We also do not offer 'home boarding' services whereby we take people's pets into our homes.
If you own a cat, we recommend that you have us visit once or twice a day. Even if requested, we will not visit less often (such as once every 48 hours) because this would not be in accordance with RSPCA guidelines. Elderly, young and medicated cats often need two visits daily but we will discuss your pets' needs with you upon enquiry.
Caged pets like rabbits and guinea pigs are usually visited once a day but this depends upon whether they have access to adequate space for exercise. If they need to be put into and out of a run, they may well need two visits daily.

Libya to Sicily
He begins in Libya - a country well off the tourist trail and torn apart by revolution, insurgents from the so-called Islamic State and western air strikes. Simon visits the Mediterranean city of Sirte, which has been the scene of heavy fighting. Here Simon witnesses some of the worst destruction he has ever seen, with entire neighbourhoods of the city completely flattened. He also visits the remains of Leptis Magna - one of the world's best-preserved Roman cities which many feared could fall into the hands of IS - and meets the young volunteers who risked their lives to protect it. Travelling west along north Africa's Mediterranean coast, Simon arrives in Tunisia, a country that - unlike its neighbour - has long been a tourist destination. He travels to the spectacular fortress village of Chenini, where houses were carved into the mountain by the Amazigh - better known as the Berbers. Today Berbers are a small minority in Tunisia, but Simon finds one man who is keeping the traditions alive by harnessing camel power to make olive oil and excavating rock by hand to build new Berber homes. From Tunisia, Simon boards the overnight ferry to the island famous as home to the mafia, Sicily. In recent years, a government crackdown and public rebellion has substantially weakened the mafia's grip on the island, but in the countryside there are worrying signs of a comeback. The mafia is trying to take advantage of rural Sicily's population decline, but Simon soon discovers that migrants and refugees who have traveled across the Mediterranean to Europe are finding new homes in Italy's emptying villages. Simon meets three inspiring sisters who - despite constant intimidation, including the skinning of their much-loved dog - are making a defiant stand against the mafia.
