Feelings about your country
Do you love your country? I was thinking about this during the reading of the declartion of independence before the super bowl...i love my country. Do people from other countries feel strongly about their country?

I love my country very much and would never leave it. Our province has a bit of virtually every part of the world in it so why go anywhere else?

I wouldn't live in any other country then my own. I love Canada! This country does have lots of nice things to see and places to go. I would never leave my country.

I wish our taxes were a bit lower though but I guess thats the price you pay for having medical coverage.

the government in canada doesn't cover the drug costs. they cover the medical such as doctor visits, hospital stays, things like that. We don't pay anything for our medical attention. That's one of the reasons why I would never leave this country. We do have a very good health care system.

Men love their country, not because it is great, but because it is their own. ~Seneca
I think every person should love their own country or find a country to move to which they love. Only then....will they be willing to do whatever it takes to make it and keep it the best country in the world.
It saddens me....how thru the decades brave men and woman have fought to make their own country free....just for it to be almost given away by a bunch of latter day wheenies who aren't willing to fight for anything.

I think it depends on the day. For some reason Saskatchewan rings a bell as well.

You are correct Duke....but the possible migration was only due to the outcome of the election. Not to mention Canada sent out that warning that NO AMERICANS were welcome for moving. LOL!
Since the Republicans are still in control though....I do have Georgia On My Mind. (Great song too!)
