Over the last few weeks I have been to British Columbia and Alberta for work. I know Canada is not perfect (for example, gun control) and that it has some less nice parts (I've watched enough of the Trailer Park Boys), but y'all generally have a very clean and well kept country.

Any suggestions on how we too can have nice things in the U.S.?

Lately, most of the videos I have seen of Canadian cities look like India, with only slightly less trash and slightly less Indian people.

Is this joke
I was just in Canada and I can tell you one thing if it wasn’t for the fishing and hunting I would NEVER step foot in that place. The cities are absolutely garbage. We felt like we were in a Third World country and 100% did not feel safe. I felt better and more safe in Costa Rica than in the small cirty of Thunder Bay. People begging over the place sleeping on the roads.Yuck

This is BC attempting a troll
He so funny

Canadas population is 40 million. California has 39 million……

I'm just asking the Canadians for suggestions having spent fair amounts of time there recently.

Not blaming America for anything, not using videos to form an opinion and not saying Canada is perfect. This has nothing to do with politics--just on us having nice things too.

There is always room for improvement--even in the USA.

P.S. There are indeed a lot of foreigners there, but from what I saw they were behaving in a civilized way.

"Any suggestions on how we too can have nice things in the U.S.?"

You moving to Canada would be a step in the right direction.

LOL. Too many guns.

Sure, just move to Canada.

X 3

it's not just our 2nd Amendment rights that Canadians don't enjoy....just try publicly criticizing a protected class there (Muslim's, for instance).

I think Canada is done as a cohesive country. I think Alberta and Saskatchewan will split off. I think there's a good chance British Columbia will join them. I think the rest of Canada will become progressively poorer and more socialist. I think China and India will end up in control of Ontario and Quebec, unless drastic changes are made, including massive deportations of third world immigrants. I really hope I am wrong and that Canadians of European descent and those who have culturally assimilated, regain control of their country.

You won't need them.

I’ll try start out of the banter and answer the original question as best as possible considering I might not even understand what “nice things” means.

I have only been to about half the states so I will not pretend to be an expert but my foremost thought is
“Don’t commercialize every single thing that there is there slightest possibility to make a nickel off of.”
That’s a huge difference I notice when in the selective countries. About 90% of the tourist attractions are ridiculous. Maybe they overwhelm you so you no longer notice “the nice things”. Even at about age 10 my kids would laugh at the silliness of so many. It would be easy to forget about the beautiful and awe inspiring because of the opposite.

Plenty of "nice things" in America, same in Italy, fiji and pretty much everywhere, whats your point?

grass is always greener huh?

I'm pretty sure his point was to troll.

If not then he must legitimately think that Canada has nice things and the USA does not. I think that's a pretty stupid idea but if he really believes it, the only logical choice would be for him to pack up and relocate there.

He complained that he can't do that because he has too many guns but apparently he doesn't think the freedom to own as many guns as we want and the amendment that protects that right is a "nice thing."

What are you waiting for BC? Start packing and leave those guns and the freedom to own them behind.

Hay we have Trapperman, what is nicer than that!!!!!!......jk

Funny or sad?

Not trolling. Sincere question for discussion.

I love our country. I travel around it a lot for work. There are great small towns in most states. Some of the best I have seen are in rural PA--your state.

And, then I see what has happened to Houston. Atlanta. Denver. Heck, we have massive homeless camps in OKC. And drive by shootings.

I know Canada is not perfect. It does not have the same freedoms and the food is not great--but what can we learn from them?

Tman is always quick to give Canada opinions on what it should do. Curious how we can do better as a society.
