Hey xpanda - How can you compare Canada to the US? You guys have a population of 300 - 150 are Quebecois (which is much the same as being French), 50 work for the government, 25 are indians, 25 are immigrants, and the remainder are looking to hire a u-haul and move south of the border.
What the US should do, is transport all of the illegals from the Mexican Border to the Canadian border - they could get better welfare in Canada and leave us alone!
