I’m glad I don’t live in Canada.  The health care is free, which means that it is worthless. Patients leaving the country, doctors leaving the country.  The only people left will be the government administrators.

And the speech is not free, which means it is costly. If you say something in Canada and someone complains about you, you could face legal fees of tens of thousands of dollars to defend yourself. And the complainer? No fees. In fact, the government, meaning the taxpayer, pays the legal fees of the complainer. How stacked is that deck?

At least they have hockey.  Don Cherry can still say what he wants.  And CBC’s coverage of the Olympics is usually better than what’s offered in the US.

It’s nice of Canada to try some things so that we in the US don’t have to make the same mistakes.  Anytime someone proposes changes here in the US, we can just look at how it worked in Canada.  It’s one thing to be advanced – if you’re the first one down the right path.  But if you’re the first one down a bad path, that’s not a good thing.  How do you know it’s a bad path?  If a bunch of other people are coming back out of it saying it’s bad, that’s usually a decent indicator.

I hope people in America learn the right lessons from others’ mistakes.
