Übermensch presents a USA-vs-Canada comparison in dull black text.
I respond, tête-à-tête, in
Brilliant Colours with accents and videos and everything :
1. People (thousands) go to USA to pursue modeling careers...
Britney is such an inspiring role model.
2. People (hundreds of thousands) come here for the cultural experiences... (The Super Bowl, for example)
Yeah, once they see Disneyland, how could they ever go back to the Bolshoi, Shakespeare-on-Avon or the Louvre?
3. There is an
'American Dream' internationally known...
Lie, Cheat, Steal and Murder to Take More than Your Share
There is an 'American Nightmare' internationally known...
USA has 5% of the world's population, but consumes 25% of world's resources, 26% of the energy and generates 30% of world's waste.
Population growth in the United States is more of a threat to the Earth's environment than in any other part of the world.
If you actually read the USA Constitution it says:
"All white male adult land holders and slave owners are created equal.
Negroes are only 3/5ths of a man, and women don't count at all."
Go ahead, read it -- it's in ink on the parchment!
:o
1. People (millions) go to Canada to live in peace in a welcoming, progressive, diverse, multicultural society....
► -- 19% of Canadians are immigrants, only 12% of USers are immigrants.
► -- the homicide rate in Canada is less than on third of the US murder rate.
● Canada has the highest per capita net immigration rate in the world.
● A majority of Canada's immigrants came from Asia.
2. People (20 million) come to Canada for recreation and tourism ....
► that's 2 visitors for every 3 Canucks. The USA gets only 1 tourist per 6 Yanks. Boo-hoo.
3. The Canadian Dream is Peace, Order, and Good Government ...
► It's the introductory phrase in the 1867 Canadian Constitution, Section 91, Parliamentary Duties and.... blah, blah, blah....
● Seems to work quite well here.
