And the Montreal stripper joints, with full-on nudity, both male and female. We're no prudes.

If you would but google you'd find Americans are flying all over the place like to Taiwan for instance to have their knees replaced. Just google medical tourism by Americans and read for your edification.

It's back to you now to either bump or fold!

Back on topic.

Nope I do not feel less free.

We don't have freedom abrogating laws which can see your azz thrown in jail indefinitely without being charged with anything if your neighbour reports you as a terrorist using some stupid piece of legislation called a Patriot Act; as if anything could have been more eloquently misnamed.

Our traffic is not subject to unwarranted stop and search by the TSA on major highways either, oh and we don't have drones flying overhead snooping into our back yards.

We are free to move about without fear of getting shot by a five year old who was given a rifle on his fourth birthday.

I can also buy a super large size soda drink, but I never have, because I have that freedom of choice.

Does Canada have its own Guantanamo? Abu Graib?

Do you have the freedom to detain people indefinitely without due process?

Ha! I bet you don't, you commies!

I have my own beach, thank you very much. I have a lakeside cabin in the Laurentians.
Oh, and I'm not a bro. I'm a girl.
If you keep this up, we're gonna send back Bieber and Carly rae Jepsen.

I spent about 10 years traveling to and through Canada on a regular basis and I'd say that I certainly felt more freedoms in Canada than I do in the US.

If it weren't for the fact that all of my family and many of my friends (not to mention my job) are here in the US, I'd seriously look into moving up north.
