Canadians as far i know have a very relaxed inmigration policies, and it’s easier to latin american stundents and workers obtain the visa and live there.

And also, You have very amazing places to see, and many natural beuties to gaze upon.

Trust those of us from here. Many of us save up some money so we can go to the states and get critical proceedure done asap. rather than waiting 8 month for an MRI.

I dunno what you guys are talking about, waitlists are also a thing in the US. It’s not over a year but I’ve called to make regular appointments for my wife for a simple psychiatrist eval, next available appointment is 10 weeks down. That was the best case scenario, previous insurance there were no in-network available doctors.

Yayyyy.

Well, as an American with a few Canadian friends, there are things I like about Canadians in general…but that doesn’t mean I worship Canada or its fine citizens. I don’t.

  • I like Canada’s baseline value for politeness. Like the UK, manners matter in Canada, and I like that.

  • I like Canadian patriotism. It’s a soft but genuine pride in the good parts of their country, and I love patriotism–the love of one’s home clan/culture/nation. /shrug. I like how Canada “does” patriotism.

  • Canada is a beautiful country, much like my own, and the natural beauties y’all have up there are worth looking at.

But worship you? Don’t flatter yourself, OP. And Canadians don’t hate Americans. Some Canadians do. Some Americans do. Some of just about every country on earth does. That doesn’t make you special or standout. I like Canada because they make an excellent neighbor and I’ve met several lovely Canadians. I’ve met some not-lovely Canadians, too. So…people are people.

I don’t think even the OP knows what they are talking about.

1/10 for linking WW2 to Canada in the present but the rest is gibberish.
