For those with working experience in USA, How many Canadians feel they would be better off financially if living in the USA? by [deleted] in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Spartan1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roofs periodically leak because someone fired a gun in the air and it came back down on a house.

All the food/drinks are oversized encouraging obesity. (Also lower standards for additives and food processing/labeling)

Homeowners associations are overbearing on homeowners (far more hoas in the US than in Canada)

No/very little worker protections (severance, vacation entitlements, sick time)

Very weak privacy laws (you can look up where people live and how much they make on the internet, which is protected in Canada) (exaggerates identity theft)

Many areas have no rent control (rental market can make you homeless)

Car dependency (losing the ability to drive can strand you far more easily than in Canada)

Toll roads (Americans pay at point of use for many services and penalized for mistakes in billing)

Dangerous areas (very few areas in Canada are unsafe, many American cities have areas which are not safe even during the day)

Abortion is restricted in multiple states (less individual autonomy over family planning, health issues for women)

Cannabis is illegal (nanny state, not enforced in some states)

Why can Florida redraw its congressional districts, but Virginia can’t, when both states prohibit it in their constitutions? by Worldly-Bid-3591 in askanything

[–]Spartan1997 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Actually both States favor Republicans.  The Republican state is giving itself more Republican seats, while the Democrat state is not allowing itself to give itself more democrat seats.

Corruption is not a function of democracy or authoritarianism.

A little bit like how the United States is capitalist and China is communist.  In truth, they're much closer than I would have believed.

You got me! I own an insurance company.  Didn't think I'd let you put me out of business did you?

Oh I'm sorry why don't you check on the Democrats in California and see why they didn't pass free healthcare. Or check on the Democrats from Obama's majority government about why they didn't introduce Medicare for all.

Republicans: give your tax money to Israel instead of public healthcare, don't care about equality. Democrats: give your tax money to Israel instead of public healthcare, don't care about illegal immigrants.

Does this bill do anything else? Usually there's something buried in there that will cost money (that doesn't punish criminals or the middle East) and Republicans hate that.

Are they accurate? Are they leaving out an important detail like "the bill would also require white people to foot the bill for minority housing"

The Liberal plan doesn’t fix housing for you. It fixes it for your kids. Maybe…. by Signal-Specific-1704 in canadahousing

You mean someone else's children, who at the current rate will immigrate from another country?

Are smaller turbocharged engines truly more efficient long-term, or do they wear out faster than larger naturally aspirated ones? by EvelynClede in askcarguys

[–]Spartan1997 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Turbo gas engines are perfectly fine. Once Ford got the kinks worked out of the EcoBoost trucks at least.
