You nailed it buddy. If we are so bad why is it everyone wants to be us. We may suck but we're damn good at it. I don't see droves of people trying to sneak into Canada. Or any other country on the planet. I wouldn't move if I could. Thanks for pointing that out Flyer.
I am forever indebted to the USA for keeping me safe from Russia coming over the Pole.
Easy now .....
I heard CUBA has had an illegal immigration problem for a long time . They offer free medicine, free college, free prison cells, no guns for the public, free beaches and the list goes on Venezuela has free medical care, government controlled prices and $0.08 CENTS per gallon of gasoline, not seeing a line of people rushing to Venezuela.
I do recall a while back some Canadian official coming to the USA for medical treatment. We have many snowbirds down here in Florida from Canada that seek medical treatments here in the USA. Many complain about the CHINESE Doctors that the Canadian Government sponsors for the "FREE" medical care.
I have travelled and lived in several countries, NO other country comes close to this Great Nation, I love my country and the freedoms that we have. Unfortunately millions of people around the globe live under repressive "free" governments and will die not knowing what freedom is.

What I don't understand is why Canadians and Socialist European citizens vote for all of these "FREE" services and then when it comes time to "PAY" for them, so many try to avoid paying the taxes that they voted for to make all of these services "FREE".
EVERY U.S.Post Office along the entire Canadian border has hundreds if not thousands of P.O. Boxes that Canadians use to DODGE paying DUTIES/TAXES which are tacked on to Canadian imports so they can pay for these "FREE" goods. Canadians drive across the border, pick up the merchandise, throw it in the trunk and head back north with the freedom from Canadian TAXES thanks to the good ole USA.
As a matter of fact, a few years ago I shipped several items to a Winnipeg resident ..... he had and I shipped the items to a P.O.Box in PEMBINA North Dakota, USA. Just 1 mile south of the Canadian border.
When I have to ship Merchandise to Europe, I always get the request to label the merchandise as a "GIFT" so that they don't pay import duties at the rate of what their home countries mandate. Since I own a Import/Export company, there is no way that I would put my licenses in jeopardy so that a "FREE" services citizen can avoid his obligations at the cost of my business.
NOTHING is FREE !!!! except the hot air coming out of your rear and that at times can be caustic. Bed time ... Good Night !

Awe my American and Canadian friends, least we forget the "Original Owners" of the North American Continent. The North American Indians! Had they been the proud owners of Gatling Guns, Winchester Rifles and Colt Pistols things would be much different today. Considered "savages" they enacted the first ever "Immigration Laws" and look what it got them...Crafty and Sly Europeans by the boat loads bearing Arms, Measles, Small Pox and the likes. Welcome to reality folks. We, from shores far away, will decimate everything you hold "Holy" and "Sacred". We will kill and stack dead Buffalo, Deer, Elk and the like until your clean and pristine streams and rivers run red from the blood. We will fell every Red Wood and Old Growth Forest we can put a ax to. Over time we will herd you onto "Reservations" to "keep you in check" and continue to "pollute" every "pristine natural resource you cared and revered for centuries. So goes the "road to progress". We will teach you mere heathens our Religions and Cultures so you have a better appreciation for us. You will prosper and live much better under our ways and rule. And today here we sit, Canadians and Americans and argue over "Free Health Care and Gun Control
There are actually 3 different border service parcel businesses in Pembina. At one time or another I have used all three.

I'm just saying that you Own up to your obligations of your GREAT euphoric "everything is free" nation.
Please understand that I like Canada. I don't have anything against it, it's just not as perfect as you want to portray.
Every country has it's good and bad, I would venture to say that there are more illegal Canadians in the USA then there are illegal US Citizens in Canada, those illegal US citizens are usually running from the law and find shelter in Canada.
POST your true mailing address below, I would venture to say that you would be receiving many "Get Well Soon" cards from several on this board No disrespect, but I'll go ahead and send you one

Canada is far from perfect.
I was born here, I have no intention of emigrating anywhere.
Would I want to live in the US?
Your southern winter is great, but the only thing that scares the hell out of me is the fact that so many people need to arm themselves to feel safe.
I feel very safe where I live.
That's all folks (for now)
