40 Moms going across the border for prenatal care is not a concern as to the MILIONS OF AMERICANS COMING TO CANADA FOR FAIR PRICED DRUGS.

Yeah, the free market here pays for most of the world's medical and pharmaceutical advancements. In Canada, the government pays to provide these benefits of American ingenuity to the Canadians. Of course the Canadians really pay for this through higher taxes. Fortunately, the free market in American, though providing all the rest of the world with 21st century medical technology, is still successful enough that we have much more money per person than in Canada. The free market America has 25-30% of all the world's wealth; while socialist Canada taxes the dousche out of its citizens to provide them with sh!tty Canadian bureaucratic healthcare and good American-made drugs.

That's completely false. Canadian Pharmaceutical Companies are world leaders in invention and development of drugs.

For you to state that millions of Americans buying American made drugs CHEAPER in Canada just doesn't make sense. Unless it's another faux pas to your system of government.

Does that include your black and Hispanic population? More money per person really says nothing for people like me. At most a few hundred complaining about our health care in nothing compared to the 70% of your population not being able to afford it.

Our politicians are liars and gas is expensive. That's pretty much it. It's a short list.

As oppose to:

1. Your looming potential financial meltdown due to the combination of massive annual federal budget deficits and even more massive and growing annual current account deficits.
2. Election fraud.
3. Campaign financing and the buying of elections and those elected.
4. A continued and unsustainable influx of illegal immigrants and the consequent downward push on wages and quality of life.
5. Outsourcing of manufacturing and white collar jobs and the inevitable long term decline in living standards.(Note: this decline is only temporarily being masked by having household incomes only marginally declining due to both husband and wife working, by an influx of cheap imports, and by a huge increase in household credit card debt.
6. The looming bankruptcy of the Government Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp.
7. The looming shortfalls in your Social Security Fund and the disastrous effects "privatization" will have on it.
8. The looming bankruptcy of Medicare and Medicaid.
9. An unaffordable and increasingly unreliable medical care system.
10. Unaffordable medicine.
11. An inequitable and increasingly non-progressive tax system.
12. Continued media consolidation and control by a few Corporations.
13. A foreign policy that is isolating the United States, alienating allies, creating enemies, actually serving to encourage nuclear proliferation, and creating the impression abroad (EVEN among the thoughtful there in America) the the United States is now the "evil empire".
14. An even split down the middle in American Unity.

But I'm sure every American is aware of this. That's why voting for the right one in 2008 is paramount.




Hillary can help America.


But seriously, let's make one thing clear here. We are all pretty much the same. Our compassions and emotions to our everyday rat race is relatively the same. We are just the little people. It's our governments that define our countries and the perception of the people within them. These are not sharp criticism aimed at you folks but towards the people that run your system.





.....And we're talking about our Canadian Dollar. So let's get back on track now shall we?

Not sure about the WWW, but I did see one guy from the WWF rip a Gutenberg Bible in half once. Or maybe it was a telephone book. Either way, it was pretty impressive.

The sad part is do you think either Gov. really knows what makes the economy tick. Over the years I've heard so much crap--trickle down ,Reganomics free trade, world trade ,tariffs ,punitive duties and I think it's still the consumer and taxpayer who gets it in the neck or wallet. So wherever the dollar is pegged I,m sure I'll hopefully be left with just enough to live on and run my Hummer of course.
