I love how 1 country, that takes up less than 1/2 of a continent, which is a twin to another continent that also carries the name America. Gets branded with the name "America" and people instantly associate it with that 1 country and forget the others.

ioutlaw, stop your biased comment. No doubt Canada is a nice place to living in, but many Canadian hates America for the wrong reasons. America is an imperialistic country, we take over other countries and try to help them (that sometimes fail). We help countries become capitalists rather than some other "stuff." While the Canadians are like, "Oh, **** that we're not gonna take over countries and help other countries." Canada does do peacekeeping in some countries but they do not like to get into war. You are moving to Canada so you can have less spam on the newspaper? Moving to Canada isn't gonna be better, or worst but moving for a polictically reason is not reasonable enough to move to a different country. One suggestion for you, stop reading news.

Why should one stop reading the news? One of the reasons this kind of acts get passed is the general apathy of the population. They couldn't be bothered to take action against something that affects them quite badly, letting all this political crud get passed.

Excuse me? We've got free health care here in Australia and we're having no problems. It's called Spending Your Budget On Something Other Than More Weapons. Try it out sometime.
One thing I learnt very quickly in the service and hospitality industry: never call someone an American. If you hear an American accent, say "Oh, are you Canadian?". If the person is Canadian, they're happy. If the person is American, often they'll just nod and say "Yes, I'm Canadian". Why? Because Canadians are better recieved just about everywhere. As soon as someone identifies themselves as an American, the ambiant air temperature drops by around 10 degrees.
A lot of people simply don't like Americans. However, Canada doesn't do much to **** anyone off. Hence, people like Canadians.
I've got family over in a place called Red Deer, and they're very nice. They're currently working in some mining town way north (they're both doctors) and earning an absolute truck load of cash. Government pays them extra to take up posts in such remote areas. Great idea <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> Better than what the government has here, which is force every medical student to spend a few years out in the bush areas as part of their degree.
Keep in mind, nowhere else in the world is like America. You can live every second of the rest of your life in Canada and never be Canadian. As soon as you take your oath in the US, you become American.
I like Americans myself O_o I don't see what everyones problem with them is. Sure, the majority of times I've had discussions on computer parts/games prices I get comments like "OMG A GAMECUBE IS $350 DOLLARS! YOU MUST BE STUPID TO GET THAT RIPPED OFF LOL 111ONE ONE ONE", but that's just the way things are I guess <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
