Why Canada's Just Better ... at some things

I'm a proud American, don't get me wrong. But Canada has definately put us to shame with many of their policies and advances. Canada is known to be a less-discriminatory nation that is friendly to its poor and actually tries to help them. This is something America doesn't believe in.

But really, Canada is better for one reason: it is one of the most Socialist-like democracies in the world. And, Socialism is the greatest political ideology ever created. For that reason, I name Canada the nation that was the best in 2007.

Haha, wow ... I'll actually make a list of the Top 5 countries of 2007.


1) Canada
Semi-Socialist agenda, one of the lowest crime rates

2) Iceland
Named the happiest country in the world, low crime rate

3) Mozambique
Awesome name, never making the news, low crime rate

4) Norway
Very low crime rate, has not adopted the Euro or joined the EU

5) Ghana
One of Africa's most stable economies, moderate crime rate, English-speaking

In Canada we look after our poor, but I also personally know like 10 "disabled" social parasites who could work if they wanted to but would rather cheat the taxpayer. And that's just in my town.

Former Czech president Vaclav Havel made the point that if people are able to act like civilized human beings and treat each other with respect, it's really irrelevant what kind of political system they choose to live under. Capitalism can lead to corporations screwing over the public and the enivronment just to make their bottom line a little thicker, but socialism can lead to an army of well-paid government bureaucrats who play God with people's lives and make them resubmit a 20 page form 3 times because the corners are bent.

I find Canadians are more polite and friendly, but we're also passive aggressive and 2 faced compared to Americans.

ya, there are those "disabled" people in every country that offers them benefits. it's sad and shameful, but it's their way of screwing over the system that has screwed us all over plenty of times.

most certainly americans as a whole are not that passive agressive. certainly, i'll allow canadians to admit they are more 2 faced, lol. then again, there is an abudance of that here, too.
