Good video Fran.

Canadas economy is actually very,very weak,we are
contracting by 2-4% per year,by some estimations
and we are just starting to see a housing collapse and
our federal and provincial governments have deficits
as far as the eye can see and our largest trading
partner is broke and our trade deficit is horrifying.

For what its worth there is a lot more chatter this
weekend about a near term market meltdown
because of all the problems in the world and lots of
speculation of a commodity price explosion.

Ruff numbers but what i found is canadas health care
costs are a little over 6000 per person and in the us
typical insurance is a little over 4000 per person.

Cotten, per capita health care costs are still much higher in the US than Canada. And Millions of americans don't have insurance. And even if you do, insurers have a habit of denying coverage to policy holders, not to mention that many people lose their coverage if they become chronically ill.

This interview with Brett Wilson, Kind of puts things in perspective, but probably not for all contributors to this forum.

I heard that interview and I can see now why I liked Brett on the Dragons Den- a conservative with a conscience, a truly rare person especially in the un-united states

Biggest problem with the Republicans is they can't nominate the right guy to send there message properly. Money talks too much in the nomination process and the wrong guy makes too many deals with the wrong devils and can't go back on the promises he made to them for the good of the rest of the people who matter when it comes time to vote.
