There is people to fill them, it's just that the money is low compared to rent. No labor law from what I been told by a few Americans. Walmart the worst.
The Greatest Country on Earth is...

- Start date
No, the list is for entertainment for sure...In 2020, diverse could mean divided, angry, hate-filled, etc
why do you want to by covid treatment from the same country that created the problem in the first place?
art imitate life
You have got to be crazy or severely uninformed to say this!
Have you ever been? Even if you only went to Shanghai, you'd be blown away.
Not to mention beautiful Xi'an and Hainan Island is actually a paradise.
Their economy is a steam roller and nothing is stopping it.
Inform yourself before you make a statement like this.
Mostly, don't give the racist assholes on this board any platform, cretins that they are.

Yes and no, it would depend upon who you asked. Given the choice between living in Canada or the US, I can promise you that the vast majority of those from the Commonwealth countries -- at least Britain, New Zealand and Australia -- would pick Canada over the USA in a nanosecond. Same goes for most Western Europeans. On the other hand, South Americans, Central Americans, Mexicans and people from the Caribbean would probably prefer the US.
No I say not. Until fairly recently most common people do not know Canada exists or has an idenity separate from the USA. You scoff but how many people do you know in Canada that can A) know Arifca is not a country. B ) List 12 countries of Africa and C) name 6 capital cities of Southern Africa.
I ve meet many commonwealth immigrants who first heard of Canada when Justin Trudeau did his refuge pledge to the Syrians - had they heard of Trudeau senior no- did they no a single Pm before him? No Did they know we had peace keepers? No.
We joke about stupid Americans, but everyone knows about America because its the top dog. If yoiu speak English your probably not pay much attention to China - id you don't then China about as important to the USA to you sincet there the two world powers. After that, its who you happen to do business with.
The USA version of the same thing:
No books USA
There are stupid Canadian videos as well.
Like what do we call a DA in Canada?
Who is the head of state in Canada?
I've thought about this a lot over the years, but even more so since the pandemic started.
The whole concept of American exceptionalism is propaganda. They created a whole mythos cycle around their founding to help legitimatize it, simply because they felt so insecure about themselves. I can't remember who said it, but I read a quote once that said immaturity is failing to realize that your birth and existence didn't change the whole world. They magnify the American Revolution and people like George Washington, Paul Revere, Benjamin Franklin, while failing to acknowledge that if it weren't for the French, who just wanted to stab their rival England in the back, they would have lost that war. They were so insecure even after it was over that many in the US called the War of 1812 the Second American Revolution.
Their media predominance after WWII ensured that every country would be exposed to the American hype, which is why so many people across the world would choose the US over Canada; for the simple reason that they've been exposed to the "America is the best" propaganda. Who here can't even now recite the "I'm just a bill, yes I'm only a bill" song from Saturday morning cartoons?
If America is the best, why were they attacked on 9/11? I don't condone those attacks, but Americans largely don't understand why people would have attacked "the greatest country in the world". If America is the best, how could a bigoted, vapid boor like Trump almost bring it to its knees domestically and internationally in 4 short years?
America from the beginning was a lie. "All men are created equal", unless your skin is a different colour, or you're a woman. But they have convinced themselves that they are "the greatest", and until there is some honest self-reflection, there won't be any progress.

Sorry to do this, but I am calling BS on every single word here. I lived in the UK for three years, and never met a single person as ignorant of Canada as you claim. You seriously expect people to believe you've met people from the UK or Oz who had never even heard of Canada until recently, yet immigrated here?
Also, the only people who think Canada and the USA are similar are people who have never travelled.

LOL, yes, apparently people from across the Commonwealth regularly (poster says they've met "many" people like this) show up in Canada to immigrate, but never heard of this country until just prior to deciding to immigrate here.
It is a little know fact that ancient Rome won must of its wars via proganda - there armies had local support on the ground since many wanted wanted to join the Roman culture.
The brains in the USA military machine have know this for a very long time.
Operation Mockingbird is an alleged large-scale program of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that began in the early years of the Cold War and attempted to manipulate news media for propaganda purposes. It funded student and cultural organizations and magazines as front organizations.
Regardless with see the military loaning and helping Hollywood on several projects to gain proganda footing - the movie Battle: Los Angeles or out of the NA market World Invasion: Battle Los Angeles has major military free funding and some paid to further the military media goals :
"the actors went through three weeks of boot camp, in order to learn how to realistically operate as a Marine platoon.[6] In addition, Eckhart had done training with the Marines for a few months beforehand in weapons training and drills.[18] On set, military technical advisors worked with the actors to ensure they gave a realistic performance.[20] Eckhart broke his upper arm when he fell off a ledge during an action sequence, but continued to work for the remainder of the film without having it put in a cast.[18]
There was military support for filming. Numerous Marine units assisted in filming, including infantry from 2nd Battalion 1st Marines, MV-22 Ospreys from VMMT-204 (based at Marine Corps Air Station New River in North Carolina), CH-46 Sea Knights from HMM-268 and HMM-774 (based in Camp Pendleton and Naval Station Norfolk, respectively), and reservists from 3rd Battalion 23rd Marines based in Belle Chasse, Louisiana." -Wikipedia
The Aliens Are Pissed On The Set Of Battle LA
Battle For LA is still filming its alien ground war in Louisiana, and we've found a few pictures of an on-set explosion. Is this the kind of alien danger

Perhaps with the exception of North Korea no other nation has integrated their media and military to such an extant - the proto type being the Nazis. Hollywood, to the USA rulers, is just another arm in their military and imperialistic apparatus - one of there greatest tools.
As you said, they gain benefits from this - people want to work with, move to and be the USA. There products and companies are wanted - even if those companies are actually owned by other nations - like say Sony - Sony USA is far more success than the partent company Sony Japan. Or Gm which was once Canadian (as Sony was once and still is Japanese) but there roots long forgotten, and Tim Horton's which is in the middle of the shift from Canadian to American.
It a beautiful running machine, if Halloween esque in its ultimate goals. And I think everone loves some of the movies despite and sometimes because of American propagnda - Die Hard and its "cow boy" for example.
What do you mean. I live in Quebec and love it. I will eventually live down in Mexico by the beach in 10 year or so but for now I thrive here.
In Quebec we have one thing that no other part of north America has yet. French Canadian girls! haha It was true in the 90's when I began to have sex, still true today.
You also have the Montreal Canadiens, the most corrupt, dishonest organization on the planet!
Europeans value single-payer healthcare systems and low crime rates; two things the US as a whole cannot offer.
As I said, I do not doubt for a moment that people from Central/South America, Mexico or the Caribbean would on the whole prefer to live in the US. But people from the Commonwealth countries and Western Europe, on average, would much rather live in Canada. You're hard-pressed to even find people from Europe who will say anything nice about the US, whether they've visited or not.
The US is OK if you're coming from a developing country or you're fabulously wealthy, but few educated middle-income earners from Industrialised Nations would choose the American lifestyle over the Canadian one. And weather-wise, Ontario's cold winters usually are restricted to late December to the end of February. Vancouver Island and the BC Lower Mainland have mild winters similar to the UK, Ireland and France.
People always trash Canada and yearn for their homelands lol
But hey if you want to eat and have a roof over your head and not a dirt floor stay here in Canada ! Get off your ass and go to work and you have an amazing life but hey I’m just a pussy that enjoys clean drinking water from the tap and you don’t have to shit for a week straight
It would seem that the American exceptionalism has become a loaded term. But, that is mostly because we've stopped teaching history. Frederick the Great still ruled Prussia, France was still in the grips of absolutism, the Habsburgs and the Romanovs were flexing their new found powers and the Tokugawa shogunate still ruled Japan. America came to being in that environment- light years ahead of anything else in the world politics, maybe with the exception of Brits. What they achieved was exceptional and the fact that they were able to hold on to it makes it even more extraordinary. Yeah, they were not perfect and neither was anybody else, at the time. They fought a bloody war to include blacks among men and it took decades for the universal suffrage to take hold- I believe that's called progress. The American Exceptionalism is an historical fact; that it survived for over two centuries is a minor miracle-especially if we consider the timeline between 1860s and 1960s. The American people should rightfully be proud of their accomplishments.
