Canada Sucks

Well, I'm Canadian, and we do have some lovely scenery, though I could say the same about pretty much any country. We do have public Health Care, but they keep cutting it. An old Prime Minister decided to sign the NAFTA contract, and now we're getting screwed by our neighbours to the south over a whole bunch of stuff. We are one of the highest taxed countries in the world, and while we do have a fairly high standard of living, it's not very evenly divided. I see plenty of homelessness on the streets of Toronto, not to mention the fact that we've had over 50 fatal shootings this year in a city that only has a population of 4.5 million. Political correctness has become a way of life here and Joe Average with old fashioned values gets completely run over.
Yeah, so overall, Canada's not as great as it seems. Although it's nice to be able to eat food from anywhere in the world without having to drive more than 15 minutes. Oh, and we support the Kyoto Accord.

Where in Canada are you headed? It's a big place. And why in the world would you come during Winter? It's awful, Unless you're on the west coast.Andre3k said:
I am trying to figure out how much money me and my friend should save to go on our trip. We plan on staying for a couple of days and doing some heavy drinking while we are there. So, if anyone knows how much we should take that'd be cool.
My boyfriend and I went for a week - $100 each got us through nicely, although we crashed with a friend so we didn't need a hotel and we skipped the heavy drinking. This was also Toronto, so things were probably pricier - although I can't guarantee that.
Andre, you should get a passport if you have the time. It's a lot easier than photo ID and a birth certificate, you won't get harassed as much.
I've been to Niagara Falls a couple of times, and while it's probably the most expensive place you can go in Canada, $100 U.S. is plenty of spending money for a weekend. That's like $400,000 Canadian. Hotels are another matter.
