I think of cheap, but poor medical service, low religious tolerance, and hazardous military. I know the last part cause my dad has a friend who was in military service in Canada, and one of his biggest complaints was that the quality of their equipment was just generally more hazardous for the Canadian military than what the US military had to work with. Though I'm also aware that the rest is probably localized areas/situations.

On the less serious note, i think about dudley do right say "Ya Hosers, that's what hockey's all aboot, ey?"

In 2001 Canadians paid $2,163 per capita (taxes) versus $4,887 U.S., according to the Los Angeles Times (also, see table above). According to Dr. Stephen Bezruchka, a senior lecturer in the School of Public Health at the University of Washington in Seattle, Canadians do better by every health care measure. According to a World Health Organization report published in 2003, life expectancy at birth in Canada is 79.8 years, versus 77.3 in the U.S. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care
