Actually, the reason I think we should invade Canada is to obtain universal health insurance! :p

The new American way. We no longer innovate to solve problems. Instead, we send in the military to take it.

And cheaper prescription drugs!

Maybe we can force them to take GWB as prime minister in exchange for Paul Edgar Philippe Martin as president.

Nah, I think we should just send Junior to N. Korea in exchange for a micro-wave machine. Or possibly a WMD - whichever they can most spare.

Canadian health care sucks.

Socialism sucks.

Canada's tax system sucks.

Canada's military sucks.

Canadian weed, however, does not suck.

And how many miracle drugs that America bashing Americans take for granted are actually invented in Canada?

You guys crack me up.

No Canadian goes without needed medical treatment. 43 million or so Americans do.

What does socialism have to do with Canada? The last I heard, they were capitalist just like the US.

Canada's military has not just lost over 1,000 of its members fighting a war of questionable legality. Nor could the highest-ranking Canadian Generals potentially face a war crimes tribunal in The Hague. American Generals could. The Canadian military acquitted itself with great honor in the last major engagement Canada was involved in - WWII. Perhaps you feel the need to go give them pointers drawn from the US Vietnam or Iraqi experiences?

Keep smoking that Canadian weed. Apparently, it does wonders for your analytical abilities as well as your respect for one of the US's closest allies. In fact, why don't you visit Toronto, toke up, and make your sentiments re Canada known to its citizens in person? I'm betting that our Canadian friends are starting to lose their sense of humor about now. The experiment should prove interesting for you.

Do you know how many life-saving drugs are available in Canada that aren't in the US?

Are you on crack?

That comment clearly indicates that you, sir, are the Cellar crackhead. In theory (which, apparently, is all you understand), no Canadian is "denied" healthcare. In practice, however, the quality is abysmal for the poor and the wait time for needed treatment and surgery can be debilitating if not life threatening.

Ohhh, nothing. Nothing at all.

I sure as hell don't need a lecture from the likes of you about the valor of Canadian military veterans past and present. My comment addresses the fact that Canada's military is practically if not definitely the most underfunded military in the civilized world. It can barely function.

I don't smoke weed. The original post was about weed. It was a joke. Half my family lives in Toronto and none of them smoke it either. My information comes first hand from the Canadian media and from Canadian citizens. I spend enough time in Toronto to know the difference between theory and practice. Oh, and my wife's best friend is a practicing physician in Toronto. But, I'm sure you know volumes more than she does.

Ok. You finally landed one.

And I find it truly ironic how much you defend all things Canadian while bashing all things American. Instead of telling me to "get to know Canada better", maybe you should climb down out of that ivory tower you live in and get to know your own country better. Or at least appreciate it enough not to despise it. And maybe it is you who should spend more time in Canada. It appears to me that everything you know about it comes from having your nose buried in a book about it and is completely void of personal experience.
