As a Canadian you benefit from being less than a 4 hour drive from the USA. We are YOUR health system's safety valve. WHY are there such huge hospitals in tiny cities like Burlington, VT (UVM MC) or Plattsburgh, NY (CVPH)? Because their parking lots are full of Canadian license plates! Canadians escaping their health system. There are 4 times the number of MRI services in Burlington (pop. 40,000) vs. Montreal, (pop. 2.5 million), that's not even counting Plattsburgh. Why are the malls in Vermont loaded with Canadian license plates? Escaping 15% GST and PST! Why are there 24 F-16 jets at Burlington airport? Because they are the air defense for eastern Canada and the US. 40% of the travelers at Plattsburgh and Burlington airports are Canadians escaping high taxes. They know the cheapest way to fly anywhere in the USA is to drive to Burlington to get on the plane. Why do so many Canadians buy boats and keep them on the US side of lake Champlain? (so many it is known as the "Canadian Navy") to avoid taxes in Canada! So since we are already subsidizing your health system (with $$$ and facilities) and providing you a convenient escape from having to pay for it...why don't YOU keep your nose up in Canada? (Unless you need medical care in a hurry, then we'll be glad to provide it. We accept Visa and MC). Don't get me wrong, I prefer having Canada as a neighbor to, say, Belarus or North Korea, but MIND YOUR OWN FUCKING BUSINESS!!!!!! Eh!
