Answer 4

well he's got the first part right we do have a lot of horny asian chicks that are hot. But Canada is great because it was formed by people from different nations from the world and is a microcasm of the world trying to become a better place. There is no majority of people in canada, each province is its own kind. Also there is a huge oppurtunity to become established in Canada, not like america where yu have to give up all your beliefs and become them them, in Canada you can be yourself and no one will bother you about it, unless you have a religion where you can go around and act like a nuisense to the public. Canada is a place were people are polite and willing to help out each other because they know the other person would do the same for them. Canada is so great not because of the government, the things we have or make, we are great becuase of the people, the people that are polite, clean, and most of the time funny, but if you would like to go to america where you are looked down on for being yourself, or not fitting in. Also we are so great becuase we have most of the world's oil and freshwater, and lumber that America can never take becuase China wants it really badly too. If you go to america you are most likely going to be the victim of mass stupidity and ignorance, also if you come to Canada you can make fun of Americans all you want( the funny thing is that they actually think we like them, and they think were nice to them.)

Answer 5

Juan R says it right (except for montreal does NOT have a higher crime rate then Toronto for goodness sakes lol) If you are in Canada like he said  you do not have to give up your cultural pride like in the US. You can fly your flag wherever you wish and it is not looked upon as a sin. We do not think anything of multiracial marriages much like parts of the US. We welcome diversity and bend to accomodate others cultural and religious beliefs. We marry g**s so that says alot dont you think. You will not see hate crimes and people spewing racist rants in Canada or hanging nooses to prove a point. You will not see groups of people hating "illigal immigrants" like they do in the US. If I was to find out who was here illegally I would like to find a way for them to be here legally as they cannot have our free medicare that most of us enjoy. Thousands of people die due to inability to have medical help without insurance in the US, we have medicare which makes it available to all. We have strict gun laws and so we dont have to worry about our neighbour taking his right to arm himself literally and kill people and get away with it like they recently did in Plano Texas. We are peace loving and respected world wide. That is just some of the reasons why I love Canada.
