| I live in Mississauga (suburb of Toronto). Today we went across the border to the American town of Niagra to go shopping. and things were way cheaper. The milk there is different too. Its actually in jugs and cartons. We paid 2/3 of what we would have had to pay for getting the same things here. Canada's still a better place to live, IMO, but Im never looking at the area the same way |

Well, it might be the same in Canada, but there is a currency difference, so IDK.
America>all |

Thats pretty much saying China's economy is done too, right? 'xactly.
>Crime
You will find places in the US as tranquil as...IDK, the arctic circle, and places as dangerous as Iraq. Every place has bad areas.

Bro, maybe Finland. but not the rest.
The rest is stuck in the EU and they are all collapsing, you heard that trader say the Euro is gonna collapse? An expert trading veteran.
The US always recovered. The recession now is nothing compared to the Depression, and we are working our way out, slowly but surely. We are getting more overseas jobs back. |

| No, they don't. Russia and China are mega-nations. It just means they have LOTS of people and LOTS of ethnic groups. |

@Werton
Wut?
@Libby
Nope, studies show many Canadian Americans find the present system here superior to Canada's. And on education, that's why the majority of the top universities in the world are in the US and massachusetts has the fourth best education system in the world if you go by state and compare to the rest.

Also no crap. If you ever buy books you will notice the US Price is usually much less than the Canadian Price.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
I love those videos, but they do not represent their countries. For instance, I go to school with a lot of intelligent people. Its like saying everyone inthe UK is like the August rioters. |
