U.S. Unemployment: Canada Sees 'Dramatic Growth' In American Job-Seekers

Canada should build a wall to keep out the illegals.

Only problem is... they're legal.

Canada would never be that crazy except maybe stack empty cases of beer along the border.

I'm not advocating anything at all. Just commenting on why many other countries can afford such extravagant social welfare programs......................... thanks to U.S. taxpayers subsidizing the defense of much of the rest of the world.

Well, short of a world governing power like the UN taking an expanding role as policing the world, the government with the largest military and the largest at stake is going to pay for peace.

Not so sure anyone should be policing internal conflicts of countries. I wouldn't like it if the UN decided to get involved in a conflict in America. And the world is hardly at peace. I don't like wikipedia as a reference, but it's the best I can do while at work:

Foreign troops on our soil = insurgency on my part.

That's why it's funny to me that we label those over there as insurgents or terrorists. MF'ers come to my homeland they're going to get their caps pealt as well. Belie'dat!

Allahuakbar gonna sound more like, "WOLVERINES, B!tch!"

And who put the gun to the head of the US taxpayer, forcing him/her to subsidize the defense needs of the entire free world?

Not the Canadians or the French. Think defense contractors and their whores in Congress.

Who cares? Just put things into perspective. I think this is a important fact to point out when someone wants to go and praise Canada's health care system and economy.

It looks like the Canadians are smarter than us in the US by the looks of it. No reason the praise the US for being fools and blowing money on bloated defense (offense) contractors like we do. It just makes us look like morons.

The point being is that they don't need much of a defense because of the USA. How does recognizing the obvious make them smarter? Like it or not it does contribute to the success of their economy the basic point being made all along. How you got to the point of me "praising fools" is a mystery. I do agree we spend too much but with that said we need a good defense, who's going to protect us...Canada

We don't have anyone pissed off at us.

I don't know about you, but I think that's pretty darn clever.

Make no waves and no one will care about you.

[keysjangle 145]

Exactly. I don't see the problem with that. Two doctors from a university here recently discovered that stripped HIV virus when injected into someone with cancer takes root, re-produces and then attacks cancer cells. 70% recovery rate or something. And if the cancer returns, the altered HIV re-activates and attacks it again. We keep to our ourselves, curing cancer and sh*t. If those are the kinds of waves that emanate from Canada then good on us.

Canada is a second-bit player in research. Sorry.

[keysjangle 145]

Canada also cares about curing people unlike the states where the pharma lobbies hold guns to everyone's heads.

To be honest, the only reason I'm moving to the states is because of marriage. I would never, ever do it if not for that. A little pissed I have to leave.

I wholeheartedly disagree. I think our defense dollars are well spent.

Incorrect. The same people that'll kill us are trying to kill you.

You're kidding, right? You have a badass military and they're doing great things over in the box. Not that you're as much of a golden target as the US, but they'll kill Canucks just as fast as they'll kill the rest of us.
