Sorry to say my Fellow Canadians we are getting majorly ripped off.

They have a health care system like ours and they have free education.

You are right about their better health care and education. Just try and make any changes to Canada's and who ever does will be voted out very shortly.
We love to complain but we don't want to do anything to change it.
The Norwegians also take much more responsibility for their own health, obesity rates are far lower than ours.
Don't however minimize the effect of their 25% VAT (most goods). That brings in a HUGE amount every year (but maybe it's a good investment for them????)
