So not fair!
Man....don't get me wrong...I love my '10 LS. Bestest, most coolest car I've ever owned....
...but.... If I lived in the USA I could have bought an SS. Our dollars are worth the same, the Camaro is even made in Canada, yet you lucky dogs get to buy an SS for the same price we pay for a 2LT. SO NOT FAIR! :upset: Thank you for reading my rant. I must now go apologize to my LS...I think she "heard" this, lol. |

Well, as a dual citizen I could easily move back to the States anytime I want.
But Blue Menace brings up a good point...it'd be hard to walk away from Canadian Health Care...that and the fact that my wife and daughter are 100% Canadian....so not sure how that would work, lol. |

True true XD sharing and helping each other makes the world go around. Im so young still that it will be about 40 years until I need it more often. Had a hernia two months ago, felt really good to know I was looked after by our system

Don't you Candian's pay out the A** in tax for that socialized medicine. I rather have my cheap Camaro SS and pay my own health care.

Problem is down here stateside most people are so unhealthy (not all, I understand there a couple who can't help it) because they make poor decisions in life like to be fat, smoke or addicted to drugs. It drives me up the wall as a healthy adult male to hear these people who have made these poor choices push for social health care. Perhaps if you took better care of yourself you could pay $70 dollars a month for affordable insurance and can use it when you need it. Hell, I think the reason I healed up so fast from a compound fracture after being hit by a car last year was largely because I was healthy going into that accident. As an American I don't want to pay for someone else's self inflicted poor health, I'm sorry you guys don't have the choice in Canada.

our medical system is not the reason that a camaro or any car costs 10000 more befor tax. every thing costs more befor the tax is applied. Most of us wouldn't want to go without it. The U.S. polititions and news made our system look bad in the U.S. for political reasons
