Lets join the USA

[seldomseen]

The top two threads today are how easy it is to get things done in the US. Flying or rounding up parts at a decent price, the price of gas and booze and groceries way lower tax plus a super road system and hard working people. Would make it easy for us northern people to find a warm place for the winter.

Here you can't even get parts delivered to your farm because we don't even have an address that anyone can find.

I am in for sure.

If libtards get in again we’re finished in western Canada.

[grassfarmer]

Let's not. What a dumb-assed, half-assed plan - it's even worse than the western separatist nonsense. What happens when Hilary Clinton 2 is US president and Steven Harper 2 is PM here - you'd all be wanting to separate from the US in a hurry.

U have never been to the states grass farmer?

U have never been to the states grass farmer?

Been quite a few times, not so much lately. Much prefer Canada.

[Robertbarlage]

Why did you come to Canada?

[grassfarmer]

Why did you come to Canada?

Because it was much more attractive than moving to the US. The US wasn't really ever in contention - New Zealand was but I concluded it's just too far from anywhere.

[Robertbarlage]

Well Canada is the best! but I sure worry about what is happening here . Been fixing equip going to dealerships for ag and other industries and man there is not much optimism being heard here.

As long as you actually work and can pay for your social security and healthcare, you are way further off stateside. No 'free' healthcare or old age pension.

Got pulled over for speeding once, on I90. Basically got instructions from the loudspeaker on the troopers car telling me to get out and put my hands on the hood. And this was before 9/11

For an ambitious 25 year old, I would definitely tell them to head south. The future will not be made in Canuckistan. You never meet anyone who is accomplished here. Every wealthy person you meet got that way as a result of a government scam: Supply managed farmer, real estate speculator, (takes central bank money printing to make that work, something we have a tradition of since the early 70's) or senior government bureaucrat that had feathered their own nest. So that is the tradition here for the last 40 years: it has all been about growing government. We have natural disadvantages too including a crappy climate and long distances between inhabited areas. So for many of us there is no future here.

Rather damning of all your fellow farmers don't you think?

[blackpowder]

Gotta admit, grass gotcha there.

Although I wouldn't stop my kids from joining US military.
