Fortunately, all of Canada is not about: condom homes vs. hicks in the sticks 😀

But I'd be happy to hear that that was the accepted picture of things that kept folks from coming here 😉

Top Ten Worst Countries to Live in and Reason

10. US – other countries hate you and rule against you, plus you get mauled if you’re a Bush supporter

9. Japan – nuclear waste, volcanic danger, earthquake danger . . .

8. Italy – Everyone thinks you’re a transfer from a Toronto gang.

7. Australia – Canadians would be confused by the English and the whole water going the other direction thing.

6. France – and you thought French in Ontario was bad, try English in France

5. Nigeria – nobody likes genocide

4. Ecuador – too hot for our taste

3. North Korea – destroyed by the US

2. Afghanistan – destroyed by US and could get killed there

1. Iraq – same as above

Top Ten Best Countries to Live in and Reason

10. US – may be contradicting, but it is an economic superpower

9. Cuba – fans of Canada (we don’t ignore them like the US because of communism)

8. Sweden – good hockey

7. Extreme South Argentina – rough water and cold

6. Switzerland – everyone loves Switzerland, if you don’t know why,
look in history

5. Russia – join the drunks

4. Holland – they love Canadians there

3. Antarctica – hey, we love the cold

2. England – Canada’s father (very closely related)

1. Canada – does it need any explanation?

I'm sure most of the people who read this thread would agree with #1, above.

Definitely agree with the main point mentioned above. Ironically I am a socialist/Communist. I have studied a lot on Marxism, although Castro probably does not even know how to spell the guys name, you know what, Fidel has really transformed modern communism and even though he can be seen as a tyrannical dictorial purging nuc fake-launching purgist, you gotta give him credit, only man to never back down from the states, has reinforced Universal programs as healthcare and education, and has massively improved Cuba's economy, which when your when your backpacking super power runs out on you, and then the biggest super power trade blocks you and crushes your econony and you still end up surviving, well he must of did something right 🙂🙂🙂

Next thing you know, Bush will give us a nuke and say "Now you can defend yourselves" Then, he invades us because we possess nuclear weapons. Tha's what he did to Iraq, it's true, check it out. Before the Gulf War.
it's a plan, man ...

Know what ticked me off?
In Toronto, in the farmers street market area, I bought Avacados
which is one of the neccessary ingredients of good mexican food,
being a california native, we eat a lot of mexican, used to grow the
things before the land got so stupid valuable, anyway ...[text shortened]... or 50 cents in Allentown!
Still make a profit, and the shoppers get four times for their money!
i thought farmers markets are supposed to sell LOCAL produce ... maybe someone's growing them in a greenhouse up there? ...

They can get it from another company that imports the produce. A market has no way, by any means, to import products. The down side is that they aren't preserved, so they won't last as long as something bought from the grocery store would.

is Fort McMurrray a city?

The companies pumping energy are money hungry, greedy, selfish, insensitive fools, who thrive on people's suffering (that is, if by energy you mean oil)

your city is 40 times bigger than my town!

as for the oil, only if i can cook with it. I prefer to burn all the trees we have here.

You wouldn't believe this if I told, but anyway;

We had a boil water advisory a year ago. the current of our river backed up and brought the sewage with it. someone dropped a match into the river after lighting a cigarette and the river caught on fire! a marshel and safety inspector then revealled that some oil had leaked from a tank and followed the current. But at the time, i thought someone lit shit on fire!

The things I have to say about our river are funny and disgusting.
