Protection from what? Unlike the US Canada doesn't run around the world starting wars.... Since 1776 the U.S. has only been at peace for less than 20 years total since its birth.

Here is a list of wars the US has been involved in... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._United_States

But why do Canadians pay less in health care taxes than us?

Did you know that the average American pays over $5000 per person per year in health care taxes (Medicare, Medicaid, VA etc), on top of the insurance/private outlays?

Most of these "best countries" have a very low black percentage and the worst countries often are almost always black. These ratings are racist. The USA's black % is higher than any of the countries ranked above us. Canada has a lower black % so they rank higher in these type of rankings.

No, you dont get it, because you buy into the RW propaganda that Canada is all about bad healthcare and high taxes.

Maybe you should be asking why US is never ranked #1, even in healthcare alone.

Did you make an error? Didn't you mean to say "America's MILITARY PROTECTS THEM from almost nothing!"
