Hey Canadians: What is the WORST thing about living in Canada?

Er..Canada?

I can help with part of this, though I'm not from Canada - shipping into Canada isn't any more expensive that within the U.S., except for border crossing fees and taxes, which can make many purchases (I sell furniture) too expensive to buy. However most US products have Canadian distributors which, kind of fixes this problem.

having the U.S. as a neighbour.

Why don't you come up and visit us for a bit? It's nice in June looooooong nites

The VERY WORST thing about living in Canada is the Canadians.

Beautiful country, shitty people.

You see, it's the people that really make a country what it is, and that's why Canada is such a shithole.

Insurance is pretty bad up here for sure. For me it is anyway.

Where I live there's only 1 tax (Alberta is debt free thanks to our oil) where the other provinces have both federal and provincial taxes.

There really isn't much to seriously dislike about living in Canada at all. The pros FAR outweigh the cons.

Compared to most other countries (not using any names... you countries know who you are...), we're doing pretty good up here...

you should stop looking into a mirror and get out to meet others....your opinion would change quickly.

The worst thing about living in Canada is the minority of citizens who don't fully appreciate what a magnificent, vast and beautiful country it is - and who find something to whine about.

lol, you must live in Ontario.... Agreed, Ontarians are a bunch of fuckwits. The rest of Canada is actually really nice.

Too damned cold in the winter.

Not every Tim Hortons serves English Toffee coffee.

Steven Harper.

The cost to purchase a small home ($800-900K) no kidding.

Too many rich foreigners coming in & buying up property and that makes the people who were actually born here unable to afford a home so we move to another province. Sad, isn't it? Not being able to live where you were born, where all your family is. Sad:(

Yeah, insurance in mandatory. Rates are regulated by the province, and they vary depending on which province you're in.

They tax some food, but not others.

The prices for everything here are way higher than in the U.S.

It gets fuckin' COLD here. It gets down to -40 regularly here in Winnipeg -- and that's the same, Celsius or Fahrenheit.

But the WORST is knowing we have all kinds of oil, but end up selling it to the U.S. just to buy it back after refining because we haven't got jack-shit for refineries here.

Also, it's not so cool knowing that most of our nuclear reactors are right at the top of the New Madrid.

But we have awesome beer, great musicians, hot women and fantastic grass...so I manage to stay happy.

Well......I had a friend in grade 8 told me about hutterites....See they need new blood .....If you know what i mean.....The creepy part is when your dumping cream.....Its ontop a sheet over top of the girl.... And the father of the seed repentant is 5 feet away......But after planting said seed is A WHOLE LOT OF POTATO WINE....GREAT TIMES......

Live in AB. I make 90k a year.

Liqour is expensive.

Car insurance is like 150$ a month.

Condos here are about 300k average.

And you're from BC... Vancouver to be more specific...

The market is insane out there. It skyrocketed just before the Olympics and overseas buyers have fucked it big time.

Yeah, umm those oversea investors. Maybe your socialist politicians are responsible for it? Just sayin's.

I know a guy that did this... 200 bucks.

Said he felt like a horse while the elders checked him out, grabbing his ass and arms to see if he was "good stock"... lol

Apparently the elders stayed for the show as well.

Hey! Thanks for all your replies.

And Mordier L'eft with all your Nuke plants on top on New Madrid, PEI kinda sucks then doesn't it?
Or does the jet stream push their potential effluence into the NE US?

I live within about 300 miles of the US, We do need supplemental insurance, and car insurance is mandatory, 5000.00 fine if you don't have it. I pay $129.00 for insurance full coverage.

Everything in Ontario is taxed, haircuts, food, anything. We pay 13% on all purchases. If you buy a car, and resell it, you have to pay taxes again on the sale price.

Smokes from the natives are $4.00 bucks a pack for knockoff brands while regular brands are upwards of $12.00. Beer for the cheap stuff is about $25.00 a case, and the good stuff is about $36.00 or more per case.

We pay taxes on everything, internet, and we can buy anything easily enough from the net, but typically we have to pay the %13 per sales taxes.

Hope that helps....

Mostly the extreme number of libtards...particularly young students who think life is full of unicorns that will give you free shit, and will suck your dick/lick your twat for ya...

so sad:(

i pray someday i'll be able to purchase a home where i grew up.

:(

If we're talking about Vancouver, it's Asians buying up everything. And I'd take our "socialist politicians" over whatever type of zoo creatures you got running the place down there...

YUCK.

I have business experience with the Hutterites up there.
They used to assemble Geothermal heat pumps for my company.
They sucked. Great work quality, assholes to do business with--They keep trying to change the contracts!

Well i didnt get felt up by elders ........But i was asked back in 2 months....An by fuckety...... ILL BE THERE.....

Yes, correct:(

boosts the economy. good for them, bad for us average folks. rich get richer:(

how can they charge $850-900K for a small house. just insane.

It appears your politicians come from the same sour earth as ours.

you know it's bad when you go to the store to buy a dictionary and they only have in stock chinese-canadian dictionaries. crazy!

Québec is a nice place but the weather sometimes is shitty and the summer is epic 2-3 months of sun after summer we have the worst cold wind near the St-Laurence River.

The taxes are crazy we have a Federal Tax and Provincial , they take almost 35-40% of your salary...

We have all the races of humans living in Montreal plus Quebec is said to have some Strange happenings and UFO's sightings.

You got to speak french or understand it here or you will be lost...

Lots of douchebaggy AppleFanboys lol
