canada is taking over the u.s.a....... . .in sweeps
canadians have some great sweeps . but our sweeps are better!! he he, but the canadian government is better than the u.s.. they care more about their people (health insurance) is plain to see. the one major thing i love canada about is .. no george bush. i live outside of detroit and the canadians that visit here sometimes leave with their lives but rarely with that funnyass looking money. this has been some rantings from a guy stuck in the house. i hate winter

Being a Us Citizen born and raised who moved to Canada in 2003 i can tell you that the medical dosent come free, We pay thru the butt in taxes for it But i do have to say that i never ever have to worry again about my children getting hurt and me not being able to take them to the doctors because i dont have enough money.

Where i live ( Toronto Area) we pay 15% sales tax on every purchase and thats what gets me the most.

As for sweeps I have to say that i much more prefer US sweeps over Canadian as US has a ratio of 5 to our 1 contest. The only real advantage is we dont pay taxes on anything which is a big big bonus and something i love about our sweeps. BUt give me the number of sweeps the US has and i be a happy camper

i would rather pay more tax on my hard earned money just knowing that it went to health for my children. then to pay less taxes for bombs.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I am Canadian and I am happy to pay taxes for Health care and no taxes on sweeps winnings. I have won over $10000 in contest prizes and am relieved I don't have to pay anything for that this tax season. I am also grateful I didn't have to use our free healthcare, and thankful it's there if I need it.
