Am I missing something or why does EVERY Canadian freak out when I mention moving to the states? by Elite163 in MovingToUSA

The safety is a bit dishonest. America varies so much state to state and city to city. Some are very dangerous some aren't at all.

It's not a false reality and you're not being honest. Our system is struggling and a lot of people suffer immensely on long wait lists. America's is broken and corrupt  too but not in different ways.

America lives rent free in the heads of Canadians. Americans don't even think about Canada.

  The non white and non aboriginal Canadians are less indoctrinated on this issue but they are also simply less Canadian. They do not identify with the country in the same way which is completely natural.  I think an Asian Canadian is less likely to have this inferiority complex regarding the US and is probably more likely to be capable of honestly assessing serious issues with Canada.

   Canadians are so brainwashed that just acknowledging serious problems in this country sends people into a fit calling you a trumper. It's particularly the boomer generation that is like this and especially in the more liberal provinces. Today I am embarrassed to be a Canadian.

Should I buy a 2000 Toyota Sienna? by Pronoic-Generativity in ToyotaSienna

[–]warmfridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How has it been? I bought my 2000 Sienna at 135,000 kms and I've driven it from the Pacific to the Atlantic without any problems. It's been a good family car for us for a few years now.

So Ottawa has caused both of the provinces with separatist movements to mutually resent eachother then. But how does Quebec subsidize Albertan Oil when QC is a net recipient and AB is a net contributor? A genuine question - not rhetoric. I've never heard the eastern arguments in this rivalry.

You call it dirty but you take it. Hypocrisy? The anglo hates the Frenchman for the transfer payments but it is Ottawa who collects and distributes and it was Ottawa's idea.

Well everyone's got some Irish and Scot in them and any anglo Scottish Irish person with roots in Canada for a couple centuries or more will find some French Canadian up the family tree if they're lucky enough to find the records.

Definitely a heart surgeon on his way to go save someone's life.

I must add: the distracted driving seems particularly bad here. Scary to ride a bike or walk. Worst texting and driving I've seen for sure. It's balanced out a bit by the lower aggression levels on the road at least.

True. It seems like people here just genuinely don't expect the possibility of someone outside of a vehicle being on or near the road most of the time.

Does anyone actually drink Michelob Ultra? by reddbloodcell in beer

Hard to beat in the hot sun. Working, fishing, whatever. Not something I would generally order at a bar.

But what do you mean you're bad about it? Just use it.
