Knowing that most of the people there don't have to worry about getting sick. On Edit: Ok. They don't have to worry about paying.

2. Mine is more superficial...
it's all those god-damned infomercials for that fucking "Viking" cartoon and the lead-ins from the announcers: well, Pixar has imagined what it would be like 1000 years ago, blah blah blah

I lived in Toronto for 2 years in the mid-90s and my experiences with the health care system there were all positive.

9. not pixar.
The movie they are promoting - How to Train Your Dragon is a Dreamworks movie, not Pixar. Not every 3d cgi animated movie is made by Pixar.

10. Pixar/Dreamworks...
It makes no difference to me, the excessive promotion of the movie is ridiculous.

3. well . . . I think you mean they don't have to worry about treatment when they do get sick
and I envy them that comfort.

But on the other hand, we do have more unbridled greed than they do - USA #1!!!!!

Don't you now see the horror of being a Canadian? See the movie "Canadian Bacon" and witness the horror of their aggression and socialist tendencies.

6. Of course they have to worry about getting sick.
That's just silly.
They don't have to worry about paying for treatment.
