But y'all get free health care......
Sorry it was always a sore topic with a buddy of mine year's ago, he would come south for surgery and such because he didn't like the long wait times in Canada.
This is a piss off of a point for me.
I've been living 50/50 in Canada and the US the past 2 years. A lot of time in Montana, some in LA, and most recently in Des Moines. My dad had a bad accident there, serious head trauma. I really don't think he would have made it if he was in Canada. Back in Canada now, everything is slower. There is absolutely no argument, your healthcare is superior. As much as I don't like regulations though, I do think something needs to be done to bring the cost down of US healthcare. In my case, all that was done with my dad was scans and keeping him on fentanyl, propofol, oxycodone. They didn't have to do surgery, just some staples, stitches and monitoring his health and yet it's cost over $500k USD. It's a hard line to walk. I think a good middle ground would be basic free healthcare, with the ability to pay to get better healthcare.
Our taxes could be much much lower if it weren't for the rampant spending. Our healthcare is nowhere near as good as yours, but cost wise it is a fraction of what the government spends. Heck, similar to the high speed rail in California, the cost for our has magically doubled and nothing has even happened yet.
The biggest struggle is the corruption in our government. The Canadian government is compromised. They're trying to train our troops with Chinese troops. Our media is hard left leaning, and anything right wing you need to pay for. Straight up propaganda. It's just spend spend spend and tax tax tax. Our prime minister is a complete retard. He's smart, and not for the right reasons. He has no interest in Canada. And they have this bullshit idea that we can somehow hurt you guys more in a trade war??? We have a fraction of the population, our economy is a fraction of the size. It is pure stupidity to believe we have a leg to stand on if we go against you guys trade wise. We haven't needed to spend jack shit on our military because we rely on you guys. Hell, the Canadian identity for the past 20 years has just been us not being America. Our politics revolve around you guys.
Our PM knows he can just blame our problems on Trump, and Canadians fall for it hook line and sinker. His business is in the US, his family lives in the US, and he's lived in Europe for the past 10 years before becoming PM. That tells you everything, that he doesn't give a shit what happens here. He makes all these announcements, but hasn't completed shit. He's a complete slime ball, hell bent on driving a wedge between our countries and pivoting us to China. The reason he tanked the trade talks was for an election in Quebec, which he now has more popularity from it. But hey, blame Trump.
Our economy is effing HORRIBLE. EVERYTHING costs a shit ton of money, and we're getting bent over by our government. People here are mad because Trump took away the punch bowl, we had been taking advantage of you guys for ages. And our government continues to piss money everywhere unchecked, and just increase taxes. My friends our literally being forced to move their business to the US, because it's straight up unsustainable up here. I sure as hell hope Alberta joins the US, because Canada is a lost country. It's so bad up here. People are completely braindead.
I would absolutely love to pack up and go to Montana permanently. Heading there for a few months in a couple weeks.
I'd look into a motorcycle.
And since you're in Canada, eh, make that with a ski and a studded tire.
I'd rather move lol... Love riding them but no more after seeing my dad wipe out. Where in Montana are you? Heading to Kalispell, would move there in a heartbeat.

) don't have the longevity of your 5.9L 12-valve, at least from the anecdotal tales I've heard. However, they do seem to get better MPG, which factors in.
