hmm...in canada, the difference between the poor and rich is no where near as high as in the US. Health care, security, education for the less fortunate are a lot better in canada.Devonator said:Yeah ThomasinCanada, we just looooveeee the nanny state here in Alberta.....and isn't great how we are taxed to death in Canada too.......too think at one time our standard of living was higher then America's but thanks to socialism we have fallen miserably behind....but hey....we are more equal then Americans.....we are all equally poorer....ain't it great!!!

RedWingFan said:I work in a place where the least per hour anyone makes is 21.55 an hour U.S. The most people make is 27.95. I work with people who can't make ends meet as far as their finances go and they make a great living. I also work with people who own investment property and know how to budget and invest like it's second nature. How can a person who makes over 20 plus dollars an hour live pay check to pay check and the guy/gal who they work side by side with can make the same money and their little nest egg is quite big. It's called "We are not created equal" Some of us are smarter, some of us are funnier and some of us don't have a lick of common sense.

Salei!!!!!!!Jovanovski = Norris said:The former Soviet Union consists of Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstanl, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
The only NHL players added to the current Russia squad are guys like Darius Kasparitus, Ruslan Fedotenko, Evgeny Nabokov, Andrei Kostitsyn and some other guys.
willie said:Right. The 'outragteous' cost of hockey is the sole reason for Canadian preeminence in hockey.
And way to tool this thread up guys. We were having a nice civil discusion and - of course - it had to degenerate into a senseless, rhetoric-filled political spat.
Might as well close it or move it.
