Children: DD (newly 10) and DS (almost 12) | Re: Canada vs. America | | I'm originally from Canada, but live in the States. Generally speaking, they're very similar. Different politics, different laws, different health care system and better beer  . They use the metric system, spell some words a little differently (colour vs. color) and add "eh" to the end of questions and phrases. LOL! |

I have heard many Canadians are coming here to have surgery. If you need a surgery there you sometimes have to wait months to get seen. Also I have heard that getting second and third opinions is extremely difficult. |
