What's wrong with Pittsburgh? I've never been, but I've heard good things.

The strip clubs will blow your mind.

Wow you are ignorant. I thought you Americans were starting to learn more about the world outside of your borders in the new information age? Toronto is one of the most diverse cities in the world (plenty of sports other than hockey), the weather is the exact same as Detroit, New York...

I'm pretty sure The Economist is an American publication, but whatever helps you sleep at night. Since the top ten aren't American cities, the report must be biased, right?

I find this hard to believe, but you are entitled to your personal opinion.

I've never been to Australia but would love to go. I only hear good things from everyone. The only thing holding me back is the extremely long ~ 24hr flight to get there.

Just watched the Shawshank Redemption again last weekend. Classic.

I agree. The leaders of these poor countries unite their people with a common enemy in the west which allows them to shift the blame for their poor, underdeveloped country from themselves to someone else. All the while they continue to stash millions away offshore.

Well that is the theory and the prevailing wisdom, but think about what you're saying. And think about any time in history when the US military has protected Canada. Yes, we are both a part of NATO, but there is absolutely no time in history where the US military has directly protected Canada...

This is true for the most part. It is cheaper for myself to drive to Detroit and take a flight out of Detroit rather than fly out of a Toronto airport most of the time. But as to the $5 fee, again it's not about the actual dollar amount. The agitation has to do with the principle behind...

I challenge you to produce one piece of evidence to support anything you said in this post, because quite frankly, it is all bullshit.

I agree with what you're saying. There are many muslims in Canada who are hard working, productive members of society who play by the rules and don't feel entitled to a damn thing. This goes for all immigrants not just muslims. Basically it comes down to this - here are the rules and laws...

Hey, I am all for free markets as much as the next guy, but there are limits. A certain amount of regulation is necessary for confidence and fairness reasons, especially when it comes to an industry as important as the banking industry. This is where I think your ideology is getting in the...

Consider this situation as well: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2011/02/10/qc-kirpan-reaction.html The World Sikh Organization of Canada is disappointed with the Quebec national assembly's decision to ban Sikhs from wearing a kirpan in the legislature. Sikh's claim this...

I think the USA absolutely should at least move closer to the Canadian model. It would be significantly more difficult for the USA to enforce due to the large amount of independent banks, but measure should be taken to move in that direction in any case. Consider these comments from Finance...

Go "home" to whatever country conforms to your beliefs. Like Sharia law? Move to the Middle East. Enjoy communism? Move to China, don't try to change Canada to become communist.

You're letting you ideology get in the way of facts and reality. The Canadian banking industry is notoriously under stricter regulation than USA banks, and indeed most banks from around the world. Canadian banks did not need a bailout, and have been rated the soundest in the world for years...

It is backward for sure! Putting in place policies that discourage behaviour that you are trying to promote...that is backward. And all for what? A few million bucks? Not even a drop in the USA's problem. Canadians are already skeptical of USA's motives in general. To the USA this...

Perhaps you should have posed as your wife when you posted this. Would have been less embarassing for you. Your credibility is minimal, so I won't bother continuing this piss fest.
