Right but you guys have more sense and seem less bogged down.

Like I honestly thought that by the way the world was reacting that we could have been at war with the rest of the planet right now.
oh, totally, not to sound elitist, but compared to your recent debt and banking issues, Canada looks like a very solid investment, in fact, bank deregulation would be political suicide in Canada
however, you guys do set the world stage. Corporations don't sing a different tune here than they do in America, our system is just less subservient to money interests (though, not immune).
Honestly, I think a lot of issues here are ignored because there aren't as blatant issues as there are in America. Our police and elected officials get away with a lot because it doesn't cross "that line" which your police and officials cross too regularly... it just gets not press because we would rather hear about how we are better than Americans than where we need work.
there is less corruption in our politics... I don't actually know how to explain it...

It doesn't get hot enough for you guys to develop that unique mixture of religious indignation, greed, and mental retardation necessary to become as stupid as us. Plus you don't exactly have a history of lazy dependence on slave labor and inbreeding. I also appreciate how you dump all the crap you create like Justin Beiber, Bryan Adams, and Celine Dion over here while still laying claim to Malcolm Ingram, Wayne Gretzky, D.O.A., adn Tim Hortons. Can we trade?
I would gladly trade the Republican party for your one glaring national defect (poutine) any day.

I heard from a U.S. sniper that Canadian snipers are pretty badass.

hell, I'd make the trade
the republican party would have no base up here, and we aren't taking the Tea Partiers
