Ummmm what?! Where did you come up with these comments?
Allie, I have to agree with Siobhan, we're not a socialist country. We are taxed more, but that is because the gov't has stronger state involvement in education and healthcare. If you want a comparison, I would say we're inbetween Sweden and the U.S.
We are Capitalist country
Canada's foreign direct investment is the highest now than it's ever been, and we are among the G8 nations, right?
As for an individual comparison I gotta relate back to american/canadian comedian John Wing - we're identical to americans except we don't carry guns
I don't have any problems with the americans I've met, I noticed you guys vary by region, like us. The only thing I can't stand is the general ignorance some americans have.
Even If i drive a few hours south of the ontario-new york border, I find that many americans are unable to even name our prime minister.
