How Canada stole the American Dream

How do we know? You just have to look at the numbers. For our Canada Day special issue this year, Maclean's compared Canadians and Americans in every facet of our lives. We scoured census reports, polls, surveys, scientific studies, policy papers and consumer databases. We looked at who lives longer, who works more, who spends more time with friends, who travels more and who has more sex. We even found out who eats more vegetables. After digging through the data, here's what we found: the staid, underpaid Canadian is dead. Believe it or not, we now have more wealth than Americans, even though we work shorter hours. We drink more often, but we
live longer and have fewer diseases. We have more sex, more sex partners and we're more adventurous in bed, but we have fewer teen pregnancies and fewer sexually transmitted diseases. We spend more time with family and friends, and more time exploring the world. Even in crime we come out ahead: we're just as prone to break the law, but when we do it, we don't get shot. Most of the time, we don't even go to jail.

If that is how the American Dream is defined, you can have it!

American dream? Be fined by the HRC if you preach against homosexuality and possibly go to jail?

Okay if the American dream is about losing civil liberties than I guess Canada is the place to be.

Canada hasn't stolen the American Dream. Canada presently is a fattened pig awaiting execution for all her socialism and homosexual abominations. If a person knows what is good for them, they should flee from Canada

other than that, Toronto is the cleanest city I ever visited.

Rotten to the core, brothers.

We love to talk about how little 'violent' crime there is, but few make mention of the truly depraved crime that haunts our country (paedophilia, people like Paul Bernardo, child pronography as "artistic license/freedom", etc.) and the namby-pamby sentencing that goes with it.

It hurts me to say it, but there may yet be a time in my life when Bernardo is deigned "rehabilitated" and released, as his charming wife already has been.

Give me blazing gunfights in the streets over that any day.

The US and Canada are headed in the same direction. Canada has it's own flare distinct from America's race to perdition.

If America exists when Christ comes again it will be just another godless beast that will have vials "full of the wrath of God" (Rev 15) poured out on it and her inhabitants.
