I am embarrassed as to what Canada has deteriorated
into, especially since WWII. We used to kick ass. We
used to be a country to be proud of. We used to have
an air force.

If you're proud of Paul Hellyer, the UFO nutcase that
broke up Canada's military, Pierre Trudeau, Brian
Mulroney, Jean Cretin and all of the unashamed corruption
and politically correct nonsense in Canada, well, celebrate
it tomorrow.

Toronto used to be a nice city to live in. It isn't
any more. etc, etc, etc.

I hear what you're saying, but this is still the best country in the world and I would never leave it in spite of some of the issues you mention. The good FAR outweigh the bad here, and that's what I'll be celebrating tomorrow.

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater Hedley. Happy Canada Day. We're incredibly lucky to call this country home.

O.K. fair comment but what Hedley is saying is it is not getting better, it is getting worse.

On what do you base your feelings that Canada is the best country in the world?

You don't have to suggest that I leave Canada because when it comes to working I already did about twelve years ago.

Freedoms, opportunity, quality of life, infrastructure, the vast array of landscapes and the people that occupy the space between the oceans (there are plenty more good people than bad), the list is long but that's a start. I've traveled a lot in my years and have never been to a country I would prefer to call home. I suspect you feel the same Cat, since you've been a world traveler and still 'run home to momma'.
You don't have to suggest that I leave Canada because when it comes to working I already did about twelve years ago.
If someone says that Canada is not the best place to live, they have the freedom to leave. Why don't they? Hmmm...Actions speak louder than words.

God, this thread should have been a celebration of this great country and in true AvCanada fashion, it's being dragged into the ditch.

They say constructive criticism is the best kind. Go write your MP or MPP, and feel free to vocalize your support/disdain for anything involving our government. Do it just for all those lucky people born in places like Zimbabwe, because the majority of us take our words and freedom for granted every single day.

Canada might not be the best, but it's good enough for me :mrgreen:

Typically, on Canada day Canadians concentrate on our country's accomplishments and good qualities. It confounds me how somebody could make such boorish anti-Canadian statements in this thread.

Cat Driver, we continuously endure, your anti-Canadian rants every single day you post here. Can't you put at least on day aside to celebrate what is good about the place you've chosen to live?

Cat Driver, Hedley, put your money where your mouths are. Go find another country to live in that is more to your liking.

As for the rest of you proud Canadians, have a safe and happy Canada Day. We have a great deal to be proud of.

I've lived in countries around this great green/blue sphere, and spent time in countless others. I am proud to call Canada my home, and proud to live here. It may not be perfect - but it is much better then any other country that I have had the pleasure of living in/visiting.

If you don't like the country, you don't have to leave - but you're more then welcome to. You're free to come and go as you please. Hell, you can dish out the shit about Canada left right and centre, leave, don't pay taxes, and when the shit hits the fan, we'll come rescue you. (With one or two notable exceptions... But true for the vast majority of people) Just because of that passport you have that says you are still a Canadian (Which I doubt you'd give up).

Anyways, end rant. Have a few beers, and celebrate with the rest of the Country. We're not perfect, but we're closer then anywhere else.

"Cat Driver, Hedley, put your money where your mouths are. Go find another country to live in that is more to your liking."

One of the nice things about Canada is that we have (relative) freedom of speech. That freedom allows criticism and has an open mind about the opinions of others, as well as welcoming diversity, which is not just race or colour but the freedom to call Canada a mess if the spirit moves you.

CID, sometimes your opinions make me puke( :smt078 ) but I've never suggested that you leave the country - I have managed to not stoop to that level yet.

Like I said, Happy Canada Day, with bells on (or knobs, if you prefer)!

Wannabatp, I detect a distinct lack of bears in your post. Joe gives us these bears (bears are associated with Canada) and you use every smiley except for the bears. Not a bear in sight. You'd think the bear patrol was out. You ought to be ashamed of yourself :wink:

:bear:

P.S. Happy Canada day
