Like I said, if I were ever to live in Canada it would be there (which shows how bad Canada really is in general to live). I guess it is a matter of perspective, but to me the weather is not mild. It also rains almost every day, things are very expensive (especially with the strong CDN$), every other person is chinese, you can't drive 2 blocks at night without being stopped by a police drinking and driving roadblock, taxes are high as fuck, downtown Vancouver is one of the scariest crack head scenes ever... I can go on and on.

You went everywhere all the faggots go. BC is badass. If you stay out of the greater Hongcouver area and the K-hole, pretty much everywhere else is heaven on earth, lol....

you obviously never lived in the mountains. it doesn't rain everyday here at all. we have a rainy season, then a snow season, then a hot summer. but yeah, i agree, Van for sure rains one hell of a lot. i couldn't live there.

In all seriousness, our immigration laws suck fucking donkey balls. After 9/11 happened, America blamed us for harboring terrorists and making it too easy for them to just waltz right in. Well, they weren't wrong! We need to start turning some fucking people back for fuck sakes.

Am I a racist? Probably, so what? Fuck you if you have a problem with it. I just hate anyone who gets a tax-free pass in this country, which last time I checked tends to be brown people.

I have not lived in the mountains, but I know it does not rain every day there, but the weather certainly is not what I would consider 'mild' up there. If you like it, you like it, no big deal. I can see the attraction if you are a snowboarder. I'm more of a golfer, lounger, drinker.

health care taken care of
RRSPs are helpful
fairly friendly people & communities
walkable neighbourhoods, unlike more modern american cities
lots of "local food" places
great food in Vancouver, at least!

Cons:
high sales taxes on everygoddamnthing, here comes the HST!
high gas prices ($1.14 a litre for 89 octane right now)
bad traffic
high rents/land value
basically expensive cost of living in Vancouver
you might as well learn Chinese. It's handy.

Lol at high gas price,you probably never bought gas in europe.

But, the socialist attitude there is the main deal breaker for me. Just say NO to those high taxes and lousy health care services.

I'd rather visit Canada than live there.

you're referring to these little red indian status cards?

they are not 100% tax exempt, they still pay the other 7% tax, pst/gst whatever its called. and from what i have seen a lot of white people have the indian cards i seen them using them at gas stations all the time. hell my ex wifes redneck mother in law has an indian status card. and they are porcelain white with blue eyes etc. go get yourself one like everyone else up there or pay the tax and deal with it. or marry an indian girl and use their status rights

All they pay is GST/PST, who fucking cares about that? I'm talking about not paying Federal and provincial income tax. I don't even really care that they get tax breaks on smokes / booze / gas, which is still pretty fucking stupid.

In order to get any status recognition you need to have 2 parents or grandparents who are registered status indians. Otherwise you need to be able to prove your native ancestry.

Passing as a Metis person, DOES NOT EXEMPT YOU FROM TAXES. So I don't know what blue-eyes blonde indians you were talking to, but they were full of shit.

We also offer immigrants a beautiful tax exmeption period upon moving to Canada. What the fuck is that all about? I'm a citizen of the god damned country and I never got a taxfree year in my life. Why the fuck are they given a free pass to move here? If you want to live here, come and pay taxes like the rest of the country's born citizens.

Another shitstorm that irritates the living fuck out of me. Foreigners can come here, get a work visa, work for their minimum number of hours, get a layoff, and collect Canadian unemployment insurance that they have never paid into up until this point? GTFO, you're not a citizen, how the fuck are you collecting UI paid for by citizens?

Sid70 · 03-05-2010, 01:05 PM

1. Can anyone describe me how it works if you lose a job? Wellfare or anything? Do they offer you any job substitute? For how long do they pay your jobless?

2. How expensive is hiring a nunny for 2 kids say 4 hours a day afternoon time?

3. I read your gas price, not scared its same here.

4. Weapon, is that also easy to buy like in the US?

5. Leasing a new car, is that too expensive comparing to say buying a used one in a good condition?

6. Cable internetm how expensive is say 5Mbit pipe a month?

7. Daycare and public schools, is that payable? How much, well, consider something
average.

8. I liked Halifax views and house pricng. I can tell you it's even less expensive then where I live. What the fuck with Atlantic Canada, why so cheap?

9. Mobile phones, okay, I just need a family plan I guess, so mostly internal calls, if you get that free in Canada.

10. Why do you have your bathroom equipment so standartized all over North America, and most important, who invented that shitter that stays filled up in half with water when you do your dumping?

i'll answer a few. weapons are a bit of a pain in the ass with the governments retarded and extremely expensive waste of money gun registry.

yes, there is welfare (i hope your not planning on using it lol), as well as UI for short term job loss.

Cell phone coverage is a major rip off here, you get raped. i switched over to virgin mobile after getting burned for years with Rogers.

Mutt · 03-06-2010, 12:26 PM

the healthcare system is a joke - talk to doctors if you have some as personal friends or family members, especially in Southern Ontario where a third or more of Canadians live, cancer care is horrendous, and as the Baby Boomers keep on aging it's gonna be fucking scary. it's second class healthcare imho. My aunt just spent three days in an ER waiting for a bed, an 80 year old woman who worked her entire life paying her way in taxes and that's the reward of the glorious Canadian system that at 80 you get the same treatment as a third world peasant does in his country. it's rationed healthcare and most Canadians don't realize it because for basic and some type of healthcare needs the system works very well for broken bones, trauma cases, obstetrics, the cold/flu, yearly checkups etc
it's when you or a family member run up against something big where you'll see the huge cracks in the system. Rich Canadians will almost always head to an American clinic when their life is in danger, at least to get an opinion on what treatments are available both in the US and Canada. When you are told that there's a 4 month wait for your cancer treatment and that it won't make a difference in your outcome - get online and do your research.

taxes are brutal but American taxes are catching up, a state like New York is almost or equally as bad as Canada for taxes - paying over 40% in income tax makes me physically ill. add on the stupid GST and provincial taxes on everything and it really is a socialist system. it's very hard for an American company to come to Canada, many decide after giving it a try it's not worth the investment. Everything for some reason just costs more. It's like a secret consipiracy where everybody just decides to charge more for things. You'll see an item in the US and it's significantly more expensive in Canada, no reason for it, thanks to NAFTA there's no duty on most American imported products.

Do you live in Canada? I have never paid 40% income taxes...As for health care, what hospital was this? My dad has had a few trips to the ER in the past few months and there was never an issue getting a bed. Those without extreme emergencies have to wait way too long to get seen in the ER but thats all I've experienced.

Try making more money. Once you get in a higher bracket you may as well give it away to avoid taxes. Tax time is a fucking nightmare...People really lose sleep over their deductions and tax strategies. It's almost a full time job to run your affairs so as to avoid over taxation.

And then there are all the consumption taxes. A can of refried beans that costs 79 cents in the USA is fucking $4.39. By the time you add in all of the taxes you pay the total rate against your income is close to 50%.

And don't get me started on the medical system. If you have a chronic problem or anything slightly out of the ordinary you are fucked. In 2008 I had to go to another country to get treatment...And guess what I am still fighting to deduct the amounts I paid for medical care from my taxes.

I bet there is a lot more to the story about your medical problem. As I recall you went to some Asian country to get it done...why not just go to the states? Anyways, if its so shitty, don't live here. I always find ways to get my income down to a decent level despite how much I gross. Health care may leave something to be desired but its better than paying 300/month in insurance despite not using it for years.

What, you think high income earners in the US aren't paying taxes in the 40 percentile range? Think again.

I was just at the grocers today. Beans are on sale for $1.29 a can. I have no idea what store your're shopping at where they're soaking you five bucks a can but if I were you I'd try another one.

I worked in the medical field for nearly 15 years and can think of very few instances where anyone "had" to go to another country for treatment. Very few as in almost none. I've known many people who have been diagnosed with and beaten cancer who stayed right here for treatment. My sister in law for one. I've had 5 surgeries in my life, all of them here. No complaints whatsoever.

Seriously, if you find it so miserable in Canada, move. Maybe that country you "had" to go to for treatment would take you in?

But, the socialist attitude there is the main deal breaker for me. Just say NO to those high taxes and lousy health care services. I'd rather visit Canada than live there. __________________ Boner Money

Do they offer you any job substitute? For how long do they pay your jobless? 2. How expensive is hiring a nunny for 2 kids say 4 hours a day afternoon time? 3. I read your gas price, not scared its same here. 4. Weapon, is that also easy to buy like in the US? 5. Leasing a new car, is that too expensive comparing to say buying a used one in a good condition? 6. Cable internetm how expensive is say 5Mbit pipe a month? 7. Daycare and public schools, is that payable? How much, well, consider something average. 8. I liked Halifax views and house pricng. I can tell you it's even less expensive then where I live. What the fuck with Atlantic Canada, why so cheap? 9. Mobile phones, okay, I just need a family plan I guess, so mostly internal calls, if you get that free in Canada. 10. Why do you have your bathroom equipment so standartized all over North America, and most important, who invented that shitter that stays filled up in half with water when you do your dumping? __________________ Русня, идите нахуй!

My aunt just spent three days in an ER waiting for a bed, an 80 year old woman who worked her entire life paying her way in taxes and that's the reward of the glorious Canadian system that at 80 you get the same treatment as a third world peasant does in his country. it's rationed healthcare and most Canadians don't realize it because for basic and some type of healthcare needs the system works very well for broken bones, trauma cases, obstetrics, the cold/flu, yearly checkups etc it's when you or a family member run up against something big where you'll see the huge cracks in the system. Rich Canadians will almost always head to an American clinic when their life is in danger, at least to get an opinion on what treatments are available both in the US and Canada. When you are told that there's a 4 month wait for your cancer treatment and that it won't make a difference in your outcome - get online and do your research. taxes are brutal but American taxes are catching up, a state like New York is almost or equally as bad as Canada for taxes - paying over 40% in income tax makes me physically ill. add on the stupid GST and provincial taxes on everything and it really is a socialist system. it's very hard for an American company to come to Canada, many decide after giving it a try it's not worth the investment. Everything for some reason just costs more. It's like a secret consipiracy where everybody just decides to charge more for things. You'll see an item in the US and it's significantly more expensive in Canada, no reason for it, thanks to NAFTA there's no duty on most American imported products. __________________ I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting.
