While there is little King and I agree on...he's just wrong about too many things....you are equally wrong in your assessment of Canada as being "third world in so many ways". I spent a 35 year career trading with and representing American interests in Canada. I could be wrong but I suspect you actually know little about Canada. Most Americans don't know much about Canada. Why should you?

I have to confess that deep down I am a Liberal. Going to Canada helps me to overcome my liberal leanings and come to grips with reality. Anything that is outside normal procedures "can't be done". In Canada, thinking outside the box is just not done. I've had some of the strangest experiences in my life listening to excuses as to why something can't be done. I have gotten what I wanted done only after delays and bringing pressure to bear. They are experts however on what is wrong with the USA and quite willing to tell me about it. In my experience I have found they seldom know what they are talking about. Life seems to be viewed through a flawed prism. They are, by and large nice folks and make great beer, but often I think them bit slow. I have learned to and recommend that, one ignores their anti US rants enjoy their company and not be surprised when the simplest task can become a moon shot if it is not a standard procedure. You aren't describing Canadians, you are describing the evil and soul destroying effects of creeping socialism. Happens everywhere.

True, I have seen some of this in England, but most of my experience with zaniness has been in Canada. I like Canada and I like Canadians, but they can be a massive pain in the ass sometimes

Interesting insight. It begs the next question: "Can anyone think of and name the Canadian equivalent of Donald Trump?".
It's certainly not Twerpdeau. His name is Kevin O'Leary, he is a self made billionaire, he currently appears on the US network program Shark Tank and he isn't definably a conservative. But he's mulling over a run for the leadership of the Conservative Party. Like Trump, he's a loud mouth who has been offering prescriptions for a while and came to real public attention via reality TV, first Dragon's Den in Canada and then it's clone in the US, Shark Tank. He also had a public affairs program on the CBC called Lang and O'Leary, kind of a version of Crossfire. He left the show and shortly afterward his co-host Amanda Lang, a CBC lifer, couldn't understand the conflict of interest inherent in reporting on her boyfriend's company. "I can be objective!!" LOL Idiots! Every time I feel terrible we elected Trudeau, I am consoled that you did something just as stupid....elect Obama. But you did it twice. LOL

Ahh, stereotypes! So useful. So, do you use google translate on your posts to make the Valley-Speak or Surfer-Dude language that is your natural tongue understandable to the rest of us?

....Canada is certainly different from US in its polities and civil order with surpassing educational standards....
....A case could be made for Canadian exceptionalism because there is no place like Canada anywhere on earth right now, after watching the US rise to national supremacy and decline suddenly....
....To stay on thread of a "failed" presidency.... The decline is not so sudden. Moron, a term of endearment bestowed on a sitting US president by our exceptional neighbors to the north, reflects the pinnacle of grace and civility by those intolerant others. It was probably coined by northern natives, currently serving their punishment in squalor and disgrace. Nothing a little infrastructure investment won't fix.

I like Canada and I like Canadians, but they can be a massive pain in the ass sometimes As can Americans, Japanese, Germans, English, Swedes, Italians, Chinese, Indonesians, Thais and all the other nationalities I have worked with over the years. You want to see zany....go hang in Germany, Bavaria to be specific, and try to do business. Again, you are describing people, not nationalities.
