Time to move to Canada!

I am not a super political person but events in the past week have really bothered me, especially in IL where I live. Chicago Public Schools decided a couple days ago to permantely shut down 50 schools. In the rural area where I live they are going to be closing a school also effective next year. Schools are over the state including the ones down here are massively cutting teacher's jos. This morning our hospital just announced effective Jan 1st they are no longer providing OBGN services and delivering babies, which means we will have the option of delivering at a couple different hospitals all an hour away.

Last time I checked the same amount of taxes were being taken out of my checks. Education and healthcare IMO are the most important things we should have access to, especially in tearms of our future. It makes me so angry that this is now what is getting taken away from us in retrospect to all the crap our state and country in general is wasting money on. End rant.

  • We have lots of room up here. Our healthcare is pretty awesome.

  • They're closing some schools here too, but it's more like they close 3 small schools and build a big new one for all the kids. Come on up rel! Disregard the popular opinion that our winters are bad, Chicago actually has worse winters than Toronto. The mayor was stupid enough to get caught smoking crak on video though... So that's a negative, but no one will admit to voting for him anyway.

  • But bring a parka for winter!!  :)  Though it can't be too much different from Illinois.  We also have kick ass flavoured potato chips (dill pickle and ketchup) which I don't think you can get down south

    I heard that "All-Dressed" chips are also uniquely Canadian.  And our smarties are better than American smarties! 

  • Definite yes on the Smarties, though I'm not a huge fan of those anyway.  Really, the only thing we don't have yet is Macy's, but it makes shopping trips south more fun

  • Our healthcare looks good in theory. When you work in healthcare though, you see it from a whole other angle. And believe me, it has it's own set of flaws.
