Common sense

There are currently 18 Americans illegally working in Canada. There are also 126 Mexicans picking apples and 2308 Asians harvesting Canada's finset crop.....weed.

lol..........

The Asian number is probably alot more, we get alot of Canadian deports for weed production.

LOL and Mexican number is much higher too. I am starting to see way more mexicans in Windsor lately. But seriosuly they report that applications from US citizens for Canadian working visas are way up

Sick of the taxes , stupid and i mean real stupid politicians , the monarchy , the weather , overpaying for everything etc, etc ,etc the list goes on .

LOL, do you follow American politics at all? Have you ever set foot in the US? Before you make those statements, I think you ought to do your research. I have lived both in the US and Canada by the way so I qualify to give some statements. I have traveled back and forth between the two countries prior to my relocation (been to Hawaii, California, New York, NJ, MI, FL, IL etc).

"Stupid politicians"
In Canada, we are surrounded by American media so I'm surprised you did not know this. Did you watch the bickering between the two parties last summer about the debt ceiling that cost the US credit rating to be downgraded to AA+ by S&P? By the way, Canada remains AAA, the gold standard. In addition, the Canadian economy is doing better than the US economy because of the stable banking system and the controls that the so called "stupid Canadian politicians" put in place. Check the international business news and many regard Canada highly. Also, don't forget the sub-prime debt crisis that started it all back in 2008. There is no such thing in Canada as again, apparently the stupid Canadian politicians did their job.

"The monarchy"
Haha, not much to say about this other than it does not really affect Canadians negatively or positively. It's just part of the history and culture...mostly ceremonial. I'm neutral about this.

"The weather"
This is the only thing that I agree with you But in Canada, you can take a vacation in the winter if you can afford to. One of the perks of being Canadian.

"Overpaying for everything and the taxes"
Believe it or not, I was surprised to get my first pay stub. I am paying more US taxes than back in Canada. Sure, the federal portion is lower but there are many surtax on city services, state service, SS etc.

The thing that I love about the US is cheaper goods and I like the people as well. I also love the fact that I can travel to my favorite US cities very cheap. I moved to the US, not because I dislike Canada and I was not happy with my life back then.

Sick of the taxes , stupid and i mean real stupid politicians , the monarchy , the weather , overpaying for everything etc, etc ,etc the list goes on .

I also wanted to add that it seems that your problem is being miserable. Trust me, even if you were able to relocate here, you will continue to have the same problem as attitude and the way you see life is everything. Your responses here show that you are a pessimist, grumpy and miserable. Let's say that you were able to relocate to California or Florida. I'm sure there is always something that you will find undesirable and years later start to hate the place. Need to look in the mirror first.

Hey thanks for the mental assessment smurfslider086 , having spent quite a bit of time in the States i think i know where i want to spend my life if possible . How sad are you trying to analyze someone for their personal point of veiw . I think you are on the wrong forum . Oh and the glass is half full btw .
