[QUOTE=Chubminnow;385966] Down here in the states you EARN everything...you go to work and earn it, nothing is free. And in my own opinion earning one's own way makes for a stronger individual, which in turn should also make for a stronger country shouldn't it?

Excuse me Mr Minnow, but you make it sound like only Americans work hard for what they get. Canadians are hard working people. I worked 24 years and worked hard so I can enjoy this health care system. My hard earned tax dollars make it the best system in the world. The majority of Canadian work very hard so they can enjoy a partially free health care system. So please dont assume we are all a bunch of lazy freeloaders up here!!
