So I run into my republican neighbor today. Tells me he is moving to Canada
Says he has met the woman of his dreams etc. etc.
I mention that I have wanted to move up there since before Clinton but Mrs. Lib says no way.
Tell him I had been there a couple times - great people and i sure wish we had their health care.
"yeah' he says 'that health care up there is a pretty good deal. They pay a little more tax, but they sure get a lot for it.'

3. Did you remind him
they have government run health care and a borderline socialist government?

6. No - let me say we exchanged glances at that juncture
we have had conversation before (polite ones) and he made it known how he stood then.
