2 years, 11 months ago @hugospooner9092 work in us yes but live in us no thx 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @Sherrilynn27 ??Canadians keep private things private, for the most part. We generally don't talk politics or religion publicly. Even when we do, amongst friends usually, we can politely agree to disagree then discuss something else. \nThat's what the 'batshit' statement was referring to. Americans want a gunfight at sundown. ??\nI dofind it strange that school shooting incidents are somewhat normal life for you all, down there.? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @wendieking4184 Tyler we have additional insurance for drugs dental and eyes. Glasses/contacts. The hospital and surgery or remedy are covered, my supplemental insurance covers a semi private room. Not everyone has this but many do have supplemental insurance. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @buttnugget2900 US healthcare helps you if you don't need lots of healthcare help... Most people with very serious conditions can't easily work or get work as most don't want to hire people with health issues. This leaves those in dire need of health insurance without many options for health insurance that covers them. Then there's the insurance companies that will not cover you if you have any preexisting conditions.\n\nHealthy people generally have no issues with US healthcare, People who need it.. well.. usually die. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @leianehiltz2486 As a Canadian, I've always wanted to do an easy going road trip across America and visit both some hidden gems as well as some of the more famous tourist spots. No interest in Disney World or any super crowded places. That would be too much of a culture shock for this rural maritimer 14 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @trevorsmith7596 Tyler, with complete respect you DON'T get why we generally have no interest in moving to the US. You constantly talk about 'you just have to find the right place to live'. True of anywhere, but here the choice would be about preferences and afordability, NOT to avoid gun violence or shunning because of political views.\nThere is no where in Canada I could move to where gun violence would be a big factor to consider (we have rough places, and gun violence, but STRICT gun laws). Let me give you some perspective. In 2019 the USA had 37,038 gun related deaths. (No other causes of death- JUST all gun death). In Canada, in 2019, our death by illegal means (which does include suicide, as it is illegal) was 5,874. (That is for ALL types of homicide, not just guns). And the government was shocked by the increase that year and tightened gun restrictions further.\nYou talk about having certain States more Red or Blue. We aren't bi- partisan, so our politics are a melting pot. You might have people you disagree with everywhere you go, but you will also always find an equal group who thinks similar (unless your an extremist). And even the people who think different will generally agree to dis- agree. There is next to nowhere in Canada where your political views would get you run out of town. \n\nYou are USED to thinking like an American. (Fair, your American; I think like a Canadian) Trust me, as a Canadian, there are aspects of the accepted American culture (your country's way of life) that is boarderline terrifying to people here. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @larryking4519 Bro, Canada has a lot of faults, the US will never measure up to Canada 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @peterwilson8039 About 25 years ago I would have been happy to move to the U.S. It looked my current job was about to end, and I had a skill set that matched what a lot of employers in the U.S. were looking for. Unfortunately U.S. immigration laws made that extremely difficult. Now I'm retired, and I would still like to move to the U.S., except for the fact that I would have no health insurance down there, and health care costs in the U.S. are the highest in the world. It's true that you do need a gun down there though, and you'd better be trained in how to use it. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @concernedcitizen3476 AS far as I know you cant even etransfer in the USA...so backward 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @rachelledube-hayes1649 I heard that American kids have practices at school for a live shooter ... nowhere else in the world has that. Just the idea that my kids would need to go through a metal detector at a school gives me shivers ...... I've also heard that your political views come up in job interviews ... that would be a great big no-no in Canada (considered private information). 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @marieclaudeb.2366 Never mind move ahah, I’m done visiting 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @allyjohnston3151 I am quite happy just to live in Canada thx :) 2 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @Nunayabzns You may have to go there with some subjects when going over the comparison between the two countries.\nTop 3 reasons of a NO are being said over and over.\nHealthcare, gun control, women’s reproductive rights and healthcare.\nThat’s pretty much what we have watched from afar; all being continuously lit on fire with politics lighting the matches. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @ashleyknoller2675 I'm Canadian and lived in Maryland for 8 years....I would not move back to the states for any reason. In Maryland I experienced fights resulting in reconstructive surgery for someone involved, a bomb threat, swat lock down with drug and firearm dogs, a gang fight in my school, a full blown riot in school AND someone being stabbed less than 5 feet from me....in Canada I experienced a someone being stabbed less than 5 feet from me as well....that being said I would border hop to shop but move??? Thats a hard pass. Especially now that I have children (1 of who has a chronic illness) I would never. 3 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @Canadianstoner21 Canada has gun culture too. It's just not TOXIC gun culture. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @FoxBatinaHat There is a Canadian travel advisory for the USA - due to Mass Shootings (250+ with 3+ Victims). The year isnt done yet.\n\nMy sister moved and lived 6yrs in Texas. 1st wk into her new life there... shootout/lockdown in a Walmart. That was the first/closest time our familly was as close to a handgun (except my father - RCAF veteran).\n\nShe moved back during C-19 in 2021. Lamenting the lack of choices of cracker flavours in Canada. But no longer worried about her HC Insurance. Still complains we only havr 4 flavours of Poptarts.\n\nMy father lived in the US for work and moved for a while. I was glad we moved back to Canada. (I was 10)\n\n Even as a kid, I felt unsafe there. When we came back. There was a wierd relief, that I didnt know how to explain to my Mom & Dad.\n\n Today as an adult. I know my subconscious was always telling me somesort of truth.\n\nIn Canada, its much safer. Definitely. 2 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @Nunayabzns Also, have ti say that nowhere else has the “touchy subject” issue talking about guns.\nYes, one child is too many. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @torontocitizen6802 The leading cause of death of children and teens in the USA is firearms!!!! That is insane!!! And Americans don’t think it’s a problem or want to do anything about it!! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @cookiegirl2cookie197 As Canadian I moved to US and ave been here several decades, wouldn't move back if you paid me, yes things aren't perfect in US but I'd rather have this than what goes on in Canada. I follow Canadian politics pretty closely and the Dictator gives me the creeps. 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @fredklein3829 I did move to the USA and lived in Brooklyn, New York for three years. My experience was mixed and I considered New England but I can't sample each of the remaining 49 states bcz life is too short. So I returned to Canada. 3 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @lauriebowman6979 I went to University in Seattle...beautiful, interesting city. I can't think of 1 reason why I would ever move to the United States. Canada is by no means perfect but I feel there are more pros than cons. Healthcare and safety are probably the top 2 pros. Born and raised here...proud to be a Canadian ???? 47 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @sharonb7910 You couldn't pay me to live in the US. Nobody in my family has any interest in even visiting the US. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @jazzynicks This might sound harsh but it's true...We aren't ALL that proud to be Canadian...but we are almost ALL proud to NOT be American lol 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @charlenebrissette3348 As a Canadian, you couldn’t pay me enough to move to the states. 2 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @Nunayabzns Helping those in need is a true marker.\nHealthcare, housing, etc 1 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @memeroma1703 No! My safety and health care is more important. And politics gone crazy. Happy in Vancouver! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @charlenebrissette3348 There are school shooting in small towns too. Sandy Hook, Uvalde, even Columbine was not a big place. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @richtfox check your healthcare policy after you retire even if you keep up the payments you are not covered after 70. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @mckessa17 Even though Trudeau is making things worse by the day, I still would not move. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @tooltroll Not for a $billion, unless and until y'all get your shit together. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @johntarnowski9086 Womens reproductive rights makes me laugh. If you are not ready for the possible consequences, don't have sex. Killing a human is never ok. It's just selfish. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @torontocitizen6802 There is NO WAY I would ever move to the USA!! It’s way too violent, racist, anti-LGBTQ, and religious!! It is crazy down there! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @stever2583 I'm in the not even considering the US for any visits ever again. I know quite a few Americans - love them to death but they are in the minority IMO. At lest in the places I had to travel to. Europe I do twice a year now - love it everywhere! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @AnikMonette 20 years ago: yes!\n\n\n\n\n\nRight now: f#########ck! 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @johntarnowski9086 I wish Canada would protect every life. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @ken12603 Most of those that commented we don't want in this country in the first place and my guess is that fellow Canadians wish they would leave their country. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @larryking4519 when I was younger, I dreamed of being an American, now with the political climate, all the mass shooting and the REPUBLIKKKANS, I would say, NO FCK WAY, I would be ashamed of being an American 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @wombatwilly1002 Not if I had an Abrams tank turret six inches from my forehead although their chicks are great to party with? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @sharis9095 I will answer this in true Canadian fashion... ya... No. School shootings stats from 2009 - 2018 show USA had 288. The next highest was Mexico with 8. Canada had 2. In the USA 2023 there have been more mass shootings than days so far this year. We love watching the USA but it's a bit like watching a TV drama. We love the people but we watch (in disbelief) the politics and your gun laws confuse us and make us sad. I can't help thinking people in the US are like the frogs in the pot. Put a frog in a boiling pot and it'll jump out. Heat him up over time and he'll boil to death. I think you guys are heating up. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @marievezina-oy6ch Never...I have visited San Francisco, Boston, and various other places in the U.S. will not go back now due to the random and mass shootings. Do not want to be a victim. Love my country, 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @andrewfournier8817 Everyone eventually needs healthcare (unless they just drop dead immediately) Our US healthcare is designed to rob us of any accumulated wealth (assuming we're middle class). Why would someone from a civilized country move in with bookburners like Moms for Liberty and give up their healthcare and personal security to do so? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @soniakorchynski Uvalde is a small town. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @jeremybenoit759 Americans have one cool thing that they like to tell us here in Canada we do not which is the right to defend oneself 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @LS-uv9gg When I was a 20-something year old back in the mid 1980's, I had a blast living in San Pedro, and touring Texas near Galveston on a motorcycle, but now? Sorry man, you couldn't pay me lol. Especially now that there's Amazon and E-Bay etc., it's so much more user-friendly to get stuff that was virtually impossible or cost an arm and a leg to import, back in the day. There's just too many people, too many whackos with guns, the weird Religious mindset, political Rep's/Dem's situation with total loons on either of the two sides...yikes. No thanks. Sorry... 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @karendaley3184 Health care, human rights, gun laws. Would not consider it myself. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @jeremybenoit759 I'm a Canadian and I'd happily move to Texas or Florida tomorrow, fuck the rest of the communist country that America has become, would be just as well just stay in Canada. 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @helana_handbasket1148 Canadian here, very comfortable with guns. Difference is we typically register our guns and they are used primarily for hunting. Your racism and gun culture negates all the positives the US has to offer...oops and the draft and health care 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @TheRockkickass 45000 Canadians moved to the United States last year and only 7000 Americans moved to Canada over the same time period. Just saying ? 0 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @UniquelyPenny As a Canadian born with medical issues and having JUST spent 10 days in hospital with a number of follow ups, I’d be dead if I lived in the US. It’s scary down there that I don’t even want to visit even if it was all paid. 75 O0gJtVar7_E
2 years, 11 months ago @jimalderton9140 I have two brothers living in the states. The one in Wisconsin is my big brother and he means the world to me. He does have his foibles about race and he tolerates me bringing him to task for some of the things he's said. He was brought up in Kentucky. He seems to be seeing the light now. I have spent time with him and my sister-in-law, and my nieces and nephews in Florida, Illinois, Kentucky and Indiana. We are close now despite being brought up worlds apart. My next oldest brother lives in West Virginia. I haven't seen him on over 30 years. He had a habit of moving without telling the rest of the family. I didn't know he had divorced and remarried. I worked for the Canadian Military as well as some of the American contingent where I worked. I had to renew information for my Security Clearance just after 9/11. He refused to give me any info because Rush Limbaugh was telling Americans the terrorists came to the U.S. from Canada (they actually were taking flight training in Florida). I suppose I could easily take up American citizenship since our mother had dual citizenship but I think I'll decline. I'm too much of a Canuck to change now. I don't think I could get used to politicians winning an election and immediately starting a new campaign. The process seems exhausting to always be bombarded with things politic. Here our electioneering is held to 6-8 weeks before the election and strict limits are placed on funding and contributions. Besides, I live in a small city of 58-60 thousand (North Bay, Ontario). In the close to 70 years that I've lived here, I can recall only 3 murders, so you'll under if I find mass shootings shocking and abhorrent and truthfully scary. I'm a little long winded today....Sorry. 56 O0gJtVar7_E
