I have decided that I want to live in Canada, go to school there, gain citizenship, and never look back.

Would Canada be a better place to live, than USA?

Any good art (photography) schools in Canada?

Why hell do you want to go to Canada? No offense to Canada or Canadians, but they are basically the US with the crappier economy and an obession with hockey. Me thinks you should stay in the US.

Canada has a 'crappier' economy because we don't have Mexicans crossing over to work for slave wages.

Yup, US with almost no violent crime, universal health care, a reasonable government, you know, all that stuff you ought to hate.

They don't work for slave wages. It would mean that they aren't payed anything. They are payed.

Il Ruffino, I've heard this often enough over the last five years that you'll forgive me if I say that I'll believe it when I first see your letter of acceptance for whatever school it is you're planning to attend.

It means they are paid but not enough to make a difference.

(and "payed" is not a word).

No, the Canadian economy is worse off than the US economy because they favour more of a socialist economy.

So you admit it is a better economy?

Here we go again :rolleyes:

edit: and I say move to Mexico!

Better yet, gum up the status quo and illegally immigrate to Mexico.

canada is a big country and kinda diverse. what part of canada are you thinking of?

not that i recommend it. its nice but its COLD

No, the Canadian economy is worse off than the US economy because they favour more of a socialist economy.

And America would be a hell of a lot better off if we started taking on some socialist policies.

Each country has its pros and cons, universal healthcare is nice, but then again so is the right to own a weapon.

And I think America should have both. If you shoot yourself by accident (or if while hunting you shoot a friend in the face :p ) you don't have to pay an arm and a leg to get it fixed.

I agree to some extent, if it could be worked out that it wouldn't take forever to see a doctor.

You're coming after me, aren't you?

Well, if Texas can put an express lane on Death Row, I think we could speed up the wait to see a doctor.

Huzzah! Socialized medicine it is!

Uh about the whole slave wage thing, uh considering a good number of my frineds are illegal immigrants, mostly from Mexico, i think its fair for me to say that they are indeed paid at the least minimum wage in not more and all i know is that they are making more then me cuz i don't even have a job (and no its not cuz they took it).

And lastly TEXAS KICKS ASS!!!!!!!!!

(yeah im from texas)

And lastly TEXAS KICKS ASS!!!!!!!!!

I wasn't trying to say anything bad about Texas, don't worry. Not ALL of you are psychotic. And Bush isn't a native Texan, so I don't blame you guys for him.

That, and the whole 1/7th the US population and whatnot.


Ive always aspired too move too British Columbia....Ahhh the nostalgia....

Move to Europe. Its far better than Canada.

Me? I'm either going to live in Europe, SIngapore, Hong Kong or stay in the States. I have no desire to live in Canada.

Hey bud, come kiss my big, oil rich Albertan ass, and say that again :P

I think it might cost him more than the average weekly salary at Tim Hortens in Fort McMuarry.

(and "payed" is not a word).

Oh yes it is, but only in the sense of paying out a rope or line.

Frex: 'Johhny payed out the rope as the boat drew away'

The Emily Carr Institute is well known for an art school.

Well well...

I am of Mexican decent and a Texan to boot
I would love Canada except at my age it is a bit cold
I dig the universal health care idea that the greatest country in the world (USA) still cannot figure out how to accomplish
Neither Mexico nor Canada invades sovereign Nations
Aside from the racism I think that the biggest problem Americans have with Mexicans is the fact that most Mexicans can survive at menial wage and yet still contribute to a family of four while driving a kick ass pickup truck
And trust me, the Mexicans realize how great the USA is or we would not be here

Con paz y amor

Who would choose lax gun laws over universal health care?

Ruffy is sexy no matter where he lives.

But yeah, move to Canada.

My life goals are more awesome than yours.

Life goal #1: Take over a gas station in Mexico with a metal spork.
Life goal #2: Fill a bathtub with vinegar and bathe in it.
Life goal #3: Lose my virginity.

Totally.

I've almoust just heard positive things about Canada and some of my friends have been both in Canada and USA and they said Canada was great while USA was okay. So if I could move to any other country in the world I would probably want to move to Canada.

Whatever country you go, it usually looks like to be beter than your own.

Why? Because tourists only see the good stuff.

But I have to say the idea of underground malls under the streets sound way cool. The cold doesnt.

I've been to Canada. It's a beautiful country, the people are great, the currency is a damn sight better looking than ours. Except for being somewhat more socialistic, and colder than the US its a very nice place. I don't think I would want to live there, but I damn sure plan on visiting again.

Edit: and thier health care system is first rate. The US would do well to emulate it.

That's a great thing.

Depends on your point of view. I disagree, but lets leave the argument at that What say?

economy is booming(extreme shortage of labour to fill positions)we are even going to Mexico to recruit workers

universal health care is awesome (despite what you may hear I can see a doctor today if I wish)we live two years longer than americans at half the cost

low crime-I've never met anyone carrying a gun other than police or hunters

very tolerant society

art schools, Emily Carr, ACAD, two that come to mind there are more....

and all that talk about cold winters:rolleyes: it's not that bad even my pal from Huston wants to come back permanently...colorado has had a worse winter than we have had.....

Good lord, that's what I want my life goal to be, too. Can we road-trip it? :D

I love hearing people talk about how cold Canada is. I live at about the same latitude as Toronto and winters here aren't unbearable. Not only that we have the Great Lakes on 3 sides of us, so we get a bit of lake effect snow, and it's still tolerable.

That would suit them I guess... Assuming their health doesn't deteriorate as they grow older.

The funny thing is we tend to think it is crappy and argue over weather we should through money at the problem, or emulate France/Germany/or even America.

Then their is Vancouver which goes into panic mode when the thermometer dips below 0.

Actually, Canada ranks higher in Human Development, in fact for the longest time it topped the charts. It's not all captured in the GDP per capita figures.

Yup, US with almost no violent crime, universal health care, a reasonable government, you know, all that stuff you ought to hate.

You're saying that the Canadian health care is better, but in some way it isn't. Hospitals are understaffed, and people sometimes have to wait months for operations.

Since the system is public, stupid people don't care about getting injured because everyone's tax dollars will pay for it.

Busy as hell. I barely can find time to post on NS nowadays. Still, slacking off school happens. :p

Well since it's the holidays I've found myself on NSG perhaps a little more then I would like haha. Even though it's nothing compared to how I used to be.

Talking of life goals, I've decided to think a little less before making decisions.. Live more in the 'now'.

Yeah, a lot of the old spamming crew have retired. I really miss them sometimes. :(

Well, you're still young, so you can afford to live in the moment. Wait until you're graduating from high school, then everybody is chiding at you to plan out the rest of your life. :(

*head implodes*
Better than a head explosion. Them can be messy.

That's when you say "I dunno" and shrug your shoulders. If they still insist, threaten to move to Fort McMurry.

Yeah, at least I saved you hours of cleaning. :p

And NEVER! I'd never move to Fort McMisery even if I was held at gunpoint. Though I might end up being bribed/blackmailed into living in Edmonton next year. *cries*

Don't worry, it is an empty threat. Also, Fort McMurry was surprisingly hilly and treey. Much less bland than Edmonton.

But do explain the bribe/blackmail.

Yeah, but it's cold and miserable, and hick central.

I don't know what my best friend will come up with to bribe/blackmail me with. Last she tried to hook me up with a friend of hers, then she used video games. I really don't know what she's going to come up with next.

Yeah, it certainly is cold. The temperature never got above 0, and my dad claimed they were in the middle of a heat wave.:eek:

Bugging out? After all America has done for you, you're just going to walk away from it all? :D

Anyway, if you're looking for good art schools, you should check out Toronto. This ultra-liberal girl I knew from high school moved there and enrolled at the Ontario College of Art & Design. She's "never looked back" so I think things have worked out for her over there and it may just be the sort of place you're looking for. But it's a small school, so if you prefer a bigger student body there's always Ryerson, York, U of T, and some other places.

Don't go to Toronto Ruffy, I'd hate to have to hate you.

I'd move to Canada if I had work and it was warmer.

As a kid I wanted to live in America and join the marines, then I grew up and visited it. My god, glad I didn't.

I can't imagine living in a country where people are treated so badly and the gun rules, not a society I'd like to live in. The nastiest humans I've met were in America.

While that is unfortunate for you, mean-spirited people are crucial in maintaining America's position as the winning-est nation ev-ah! :D

I had the same goal after living in Montreal for a while.
But now I'm quite happy in Ireland :D

My life goal is somewhat similar, I want to emigrate to Europe.

Give me your address, baby. I'm so there.

My life goal is somewhat similar, I want to emigrate to Europe.

I tentatively have the same goal. I lived in Germany for 2 years and really liked it, but that was as a soldier, not a civilian. I'm going to be spending 4 months in France starting next month (26 days until I leave!) so we'll see how I like life as a student in Europe.
