I suspect you'd be able to get Obama as a prime minister before you'd be able to get a cheap iPhone plan ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

Canada has replaced USA as the main destination for migration here. I even have a grandma, an aunt and three cousins living there.

If I would decide to move to North Armerica (and I have given this some thought, although it's more something like a retirement plan) I probably would move to Canada instead of the USA though I don't have any clear reason for that yet^^

THANK YOU BUSH,
You destroyed your own country, but made us Canadians look awesome.
I want to know which country though overall works the least, lives the longest, is wealthy, and has the most sex?
But . . . In the end, what we wouldn't do to get Obama as prime minister.

Aussies live even longer (the sharks here don't kill as many as the moose in Canada).
True story: a few years ago, I was in the tram coming home from work one July afternoon, eavesdropping on the conversation of the people sitting opposite...
quote:
Aussie: So, are you looking forward to going home to Canada?
Canadian: Are you joking??? (points out window at people frolicking in the park in the winter sunshine) This is what you guys call Winter! I never want to go back to Canada!
And as for the sex life, well, we have more sheep than people. 'Nuf said.

It's not that Canada is really getting wealthier, it's more like the Mason-Dixon line has moved north.

Nah, it can't be the bacon... you get that in the UK and we're miserable f*ckers. I reckon it's because Sandi Toksvig emigrated.

I am fail to see how US is the world championship?
The US doesn't have the "dream team" anymore. The US basketball team is a bunch of ball hogs. Also, the US soccer team never win the world cup.
Now, the tide is just reversed by thanking Bush to made another country wealthier.
