Would Canada's economy be as well if :
1) They had our healthcare system.
2) They hadn't discovered a shit pot of oil.
....and for whirlaway to say Canada is ''less multi-cultural than the US'' is idiotic. They have Quebec for God's sake. They have wanted to rid themselves of Canada, they speak French!
He also so said Obama has crippled our oil industry. Another lie. In fact we are producing more oil than with Bush. Did the BP spill put a damper on drilling? Yes, should it have? Yes again. That issue needed to be looked at.
As to his ''Canada has lower corporate taxes and lower deficits''. Yes but not really on the corporate taxes. GE paid no taxes last year. They bitch about our high rate but hardly any corporation pays it. Another ploy that ignorant people fall for in the GOP. The tax system needs to be revamped and the rate should be dropped and the deductions dropped too, so people like Whirlway will not be fooled by such nonsense. As to his lower deficits....Canada spends 1.5% of its GDP on military and around 9% of its GDP on healthcare. Plug those numbers into our system and see how well we do! The problem is that when you try and lower those numbers to say where Canada is spending you have idiots like Whirlaway crying about cuts in those programs.
So once again you have idiots touting things that in reality they are aganist....though they are to ignorant to know they are really aganist something they are for!
Damnist thing.
