We "Canadians" Are Superior To Americans...
 
...in that when an election is called by the Government of Canada by asking the Governor General to prorogue Parliament & drop the writ calling a general election in Canada, we have about 30 days before we go to the polls.

In America, you have a electioneering going on for almost two years!

While I don't care for much of what politicians say most of the time, at least we only have to listen to it for a short time.

Doesn't anyone get sick of all this politicking???

Yeah well... they weren't supposed to be out electioneering so early. We've run out of rotten tomatoes long ago. Now this madness threatens our marinara.

30 days is not near long enough to watch them squirm and lie and flip flop. That is when you really get to see what sort of leader they will make....

I get sick of thinking that it cost Americans over 1 Billion to host a presidential election.

Then all we get are McCain and Hillary.

Think of the hosting cities and all companies involved to make it happen. People are making money. It's the American way!

I read somewhere about Canada being in debt a pretty good chunk of change because of the healthcare system. Anyone know about this?

I think we should take over Canada. It would be pretty easy wouldn't it?
lol

Just kidding ya.

In the humble opinion of this American, the introduction of a Primary System in 1968 (?) has not served the American public well. To be a contender one must start campaigning two years or more before the election and raise millions of dollars. It used to be that there was great drama at the party conventions because that was where it was decided who would represent the Democrats or Republicans in the General Election. The primary system has not produced any great presidents. Instead of presidents with true personal convictions we get men and women driven by opinion polls. The days when presidents were chosen for their character and convictions are long gone.

It's too cold up there! :)

If the USA wanted Canada it would be ours already. We'll keep Alaska though. Only cause it's strategical for military purposes.

So, based on the weather, are you prepared to cede all the Northern states who have the same type of weather as most provinces in Canada to the Canadians? :)

While I think our debt situation is beyond out of control, The entire Canadian population could probably fit within the borders of the state of California.

There are many more of us...

Easily, there are 33 million Canadians, and our GDP is about a Trillion.
Your population is 300 million & growing (just watch the Mexican border):toofunny & your GDP is 10 Trillion!

We have about one tenth the population & one tenth the economy.
