Along those lines here are a few things I don't like (humor me) about Canada that should be changed in order for me to stay interested, and I'll write directly to the authorities in Ottawa to take immediate measures:

1. political system - replace that messiah PM immediately, along with the ruling party. I just don't like them. Queen? what is she good for? Out she goes!
2. health system - why keep universal health care like the rest of the western world, change that immediately to US system. You're in the Americas, not Europe
3. immigration policy, should be changed immediately and allowed in only individuals that can prove thru DNA and psychological testing that they'll only contribute to the society and not become a liability, along with their descendents, down to the 3rd generation
4. taxes. what's the nonsense with 2 separate taxes on each purchase (in Toronto at least). Cut that off immediately completely or back to one tax, 2 separate taxes is confusing
5. Change that maple leaf to a star, it just looks better. What are you, tree-huggers??
6. Make up your mind if you're going to use metric system or US system. Keeping them both is very confusing.
7. Melt some of that ice away so we can see the world better when we look around from Alaska.We almost can't see Russia because of you.

8 and finally, whichever Canadians do not agree with my 1-7 points must be less intelligent, uneducated compared to the average Canadian. Reason? well, they disagreed with me and I'm intelligent.

Now, did I miss something?

And fighting for one's liberties is worthwhile. Like the ones that PA took away. Like borrowing a book from a library should not be a reason for scrutiny, like it was 20 yrs ago in the communist block. But of course, that's my opinion, that many here disagree with.

Funny thing is, all Canadians I spoke to have agreed that Canada would be nothing like it is today without the aggressive but calculated immigration policies, specially during the past 1990-2000 decade. Comparable in aggressiveness maybe only with the influx of immigrants to the US at the beginning of the 1900's.

As opposed to the US immigration during the same past decade, Canada has targeted on relatevely young, better (higher) educated wave of immigrants whose immediate contribution to the economy was nothing to be neglected, provided quite a boost. I remember seeing Toronto growing, changing, developing during that time from one week to another (that's how often I was traveling there).

Sadly though, they were probably mostly Liberals, ultimately destined to ruin the country, from what I hear now :lol:
