Still too early to tell, but so far, I don't like it. By the way Tony "Welcome to the USSA" that's hilarious because it seems that it may very well be true soon.

Just have a look north of the border at what the provincial government has done to the Alberta oilpatch.... it is in the toilet, the province on either side are goin hard, a tax grab put a real damper on Alberta.

Chris,

I don't know about the Health Care thing in the US... I am Canadian and we had health care as long as I can remember.... it was an OK thing.... but now the system is overloaded w/ baby boomers and immigrants and basically you pay for a service you do not use more than 1x a year. If I figured out how much me and my family used HC vs how much we paid the cost per hour would definatly be in the doctors favour........ It is supposed to let the strong help the week, the rich help the poor.... yada yada........ its all good if yer socially inclined.... I suppose. I now have my own private Health Care over here and it costs about thesame / year, but things are about 1/10 th of the price for better service...... i been to the doc and the dentists and I haven't even bothered to expense it to them cause the ammounts are so small...LOL..... service with a smile and quick service.... not waiting for a week or two to get an appointment... coool !! AS to if what happenned to Alberta will happen in the US.... just watch the news... soome Ststes are talkin increased taxes/royalties from oil companiesw..... just watch what happens to them... LOL
