    Free health care
    Beaver Tails
    Friendly People
    We are so socialist that we have a medical marijuana department in Health Canada (I don't partake, I just think it's fantastic)
    I can bike 17km to work and have less than 1km of that be on a major road.
    Canada is freaking big!


    Though I feel like I should point out that in most Canadian provinces it IS legal to marry your first cousin (sorry, lawyer) we just tend not to because...ick.

    We don't marry our relatives

    ^ Wait, which non-Canadians marry their relatives? :huh:

    I love Canadians and am not picking a fight. Just curious...

    I believe in North Carolina you can.

    Yikes - so you meant Americans do. I just didn't assume you were comparing with the US. :laugh: :wink:

    lol @ we don't marry our relatives. :laugh:

    I love being Canadian, just wish other parts of the world, that shall remain unnamed, would look outside the box and learn about other nations.......especially when we're soooo close, lol. The majority of us really do not live in igloos, and count bears as our neighbours. Oh and hey, the french tick us off too at times, lol. Haven't seen any lumberjacks around lately in their red plaid shirts. Our RCMP is actually pretty cool if you can look beyond all the corruption. yeah, I like being here. :heart:

    That's not really a nice thing to say. You shouldn't generalize an entire Nation of people like that.

    Canada has a day? Pffftt...hahahaha

    Yup, just like America has a day…

    I <3 Canada! Wouldn't live anywhere else! My Grandfather was born on July 1st and worked for the government in tourism, so it's been instilled in us that Canada Day is the best day ever!

    Am not that far on the left side of the spectrum myself, am a staunch Liberal. There are definitely benefits to being in a country that is left leaning though!

    oh I forgot one...

    The Charter of Rights and Freedoms!!!

    Nice people! I live abroad now, and whenever I'm back in Toronto I totally take the opportunity to talk to people whenever I get the chance! I miss striking up a conversation SO much!

    Canada might not be my home right now, but it's my homeland, and I love it!

    Why did you post anything in this thread? Why did you waste your time by reading responses.

    Don't bother responding to this guy, he's not worth it.
