So, since many of my liberal friends are contemplating moving to Canada if Trump is elected, let me try and explain what you’re in for.
First of all, Canada da pretty well has all the socialists they need; hell, even the far right is a little bit left of center so crossing the border may be tough.

For starters, the average wage in Canada is $43000 compared to $56,000 here in the United States.
Put that together with the fact that you can’t deduct the interest from your mortgage payment, and you’ll also pay a provincial and national sales tax on all purchases; it’s a little scary, but it even gets scarier.

Gas is $5.95 a gallon. Cigarettes cost $130.00 a carton, compared to $55.00 here.
Whiskey costs $33.00 in Canada and $18.00 state-side for the same thing.

Homes cost 40% more in Canada, cars run about 20% more, and food is 57% more expensive.
Oh, and that free health care you’ve been hearing about, well, you better not need anything fixed quickly because it’s a bitch getting a hospital bed.

However, even though getting into Canada is tougher than getting into the United States, if you get it done, you’ll love the Canadian people.
They’re still too polite, to tell you and your arrogant American attitude to go fuck itself.

@JedDuva: George: When I was in R.O.T.C. at Rose Polytechnic Institute (now Rose-Hulman), in Terrible Haute in 1969-1970, Major Paul Galanti, our instructor with two tours of duty under his belt in Viet Nam, and one-tour in Korea, emphasized how conservation of effort and war materials were key.  Minimize spending on weapons of war and ammunition and minimize harm to the men and women (although they were much fewer in the late 1960s). The thoughtful major repeatedly emphasized that as future lieutenants in the Army Signal Corp and the Corp of Engineers, life and the protection of it was the most important mission. However, the accomplishment of the military goal came second.   One of the principles of American military deterrence has always been that appearance of might.  I am not certain that it is warlike, but after reading much U.S. history, very few American generals embraced war.  (Yes, George Patton did, as did Curtis LeMay.)  Readiness and preparation to answer any challenge have been the U.S. military policy in the post-nuclear age. (Note:  When I took my military physical in 1971 to complete my entry into the Army, my eyesight was below what the Army would accept for an officer, so I was put back into the general draft pool of cannon fodder.

Geo: Being a Canadian and hearing about my uncles going to war against the Germans in 1939, I know they never forgave America for holding out until 1941 and probably wouldn’t have done it even then if not for the convivence of Pearl Harbor. In fact, at the time, my relatives looked at the Americans as being cowards, as did all my relatives in England and Australia

@DaveCharles: Will Smith and Tom Cruise are hanging with Scientology. Jesus is just alright by me, eh?  Jesus needs to open for Taylor Swift and sort out many of earth super assholes. He could do that in the encore. A little fire and brimstone, I say. Dave, the answer, man’.
(3/21/24)Geo: Every country claims that God is on its side, David. We need Jesus to show up and tell us which one is right so we can stop killing each other.
