    I didn’t know I had this many walking amongst me. Of the ones I’ve spoken with they seem to share these values:

    They seem to hate that Ontario is forcing “gays” on kids at such a young age. I’m assuming my friend meant teaching about accepting people from different backgrounds, as I don’t think sex education applied to the age range he was referring.

    They think they’re being taxed too highly (that’s fine).

    They think US Healthcare woes are exaggerated. One said that you don’t really pay that fee, it’s a different fee and it’s not that much. Another said: I don’t go to the hospital that often.

    They think life will be better in the States with all the untaxed dollars they’ll have.

    (I will reiterate that these are just the ones that I’ve spoken with) I’m just wondering why they don’t just move there. If you hate being Canadian so much start the process of emigration …

      No we do pay that much. My job apparently pays $9000 a year for me to have health insurance, and I still have to pay $170 a month for it. Plus deductibles, co-pays, and other bullshit.

      Anyways, how much are yall even taxed that’s “too much”?

      I get it, immigration takes time and some of them may not have the skills or the means to do it, or to do it quickly…HOWEVER, in the meantime, if they have no allegiance to this country, they should show some dignity by refraining from voting and refraining from doing everything they can to screw up the country for the people who actually DO care about it.
