Watch it bro, we're gonna quit exporting all our shows, movies, games and music to you and you're going to get very bored very quick. oh yeah and no more shopping at our malls, or going to our beaches either!
there is no place on earth more "beautiful" than Vancouver, B.C.!

Duh; your fact was one tenth of one percent are going south for American style treatment while fully 600,000 fraudulent claims were submitted by U.S. citizens within Canada in ONE 6 month period in ONE Province alone so I see your teeny insignificant fact and raise you a HUGE freeloading, talking out of both sides of your mouth, fraudulent fact. 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.
Oh sweetie, that's fine with me. I prefer great Canadian documentaries to Honey Boo Boo, Hog Hunters, and the Kardashians.
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.
