I have positive views of Canada. However keep in mind that better than 50% of new home sales in America are being made by foreigners and of that group more are Canadians. why because homes here are less expensive.

In my view one cannot compare America to a Canada or to a Sweden, etc. We would be more productive to focus on America as America past, present and future

Foreigners entering your country can be a good thing or a bad. Immigration in much of Europe has decimated those nations. its suicide by multi-diversity cultural .

In America we are headed in the same direction. Our tax system has too many loop holes and our federal and state representatives spend our taxes foolishly. entitlements are crowding out all other prorities. medicaid's expansion under Obamacare is a nightmare and providing for able bodied people while it denies the truly disabled and truly below poverty people it was created to serve

Its not more taxes in fact we need to reduce citizens tax burden and demand politicians spend wisely. In my view we have gone off track of the traditional values and beliefs that made America great.
Every generation following the greatest generation has lost that meaning and unless and until it is reinserted, America will continue to decline.
