Canadians are NOT just like Americans – My Comments

(000228.79-:E-000157.73:N-:R-SU:C-30:V)   

[This came from an American southerner who moved to Canada and loved it. I like what he says about the "me, me, me" Americans. That equates to my discussions about the shopping mall. Jews, being the nation-wrecking scum that they are, are also working on dividing people, and I'm sure that's where a lot of me, me, me crap comes from. Jan]

This is what I wrote to Charles in reply:
I find this fascinating. Very interesting. Glad you like Canada. I was only there once, but I loved it.
However, I also like America. But I like your emphasis on the me me culture.
However, race trumps everything and you’re being inundated with Asians and others.
Regards,
Jan

p dir=”ltr”>I was 48 years old when I immigrated to Canada (from a Deep South US state) in 2005, with my wife and daughter (who was 14 at the time). Under the auspices of the NAFTA treaty (as skilled work immigrants) we became eligible for Medicare after a three month wait). And we have no complaints.

p dir=”ltr”>When we came to Canada, Canada had a new conservative government and "privatization" of the health care system was a hot topic. I think the debate about "Obamacare" in the States educated a lot of Canadians about our own health care system. And few Canadians now support a privatized health care system like that “enjoyed” by Americans.

p dir=”ltr”>I worked with Jason for 13 years. Jason and I had a conversation about how Americans and Canadians are different. We agreed that Canadians are in most respects (he said 75%, I said 90%) just like Americans … but where they differ, the differences are profound.

<

p dir=”ltr”>"How do you mean?" I asked him.

<

p dir=”ltr”>Jason said, "Americans are all about themselves, what they can get for themselves, it’s always me, me, me … Canadians are more community minded."

<

p dir=”ltr”>I had to agree with that. And, personally, I think that’s why Canadians are far more willing to embrace a system like our single-payer health care system; not because it works so well for us individually, but because it works so well for so many Canadians, many of whom, particularly those living in some of the world’s most remote regions, would have no decent medical care without it.

<

p dir=”ltr”>Why don’t programs or plans or policies that work well for Canadians work equally well for Americans who are, in nearly every respect, the same? Because deep down, the differences are far more than superficial. Many times, it is in those ways that Canadians differ from Americans that we find our strength.
