Norm I hate to wade into popolitics, but it isn't "free" here. Our much higherlevel of taxes helps offset the cost here, our govt sets the limits that can be charged by doctors, our drug costs are half yours as well. Why do your senior citizens come to canada for their meds. On the flip side I can't deduct the interest cost of a home mortgage from my income for taxes.It is however tax free money when I sell.Your current sub prime morgage situation is in part driven by that deduction. For the most part in Canada, we buy what we can afford. How will you boys feel when all us Albertans go south to buy your Power Wagons, our pockets bulging with your petro dollars. At least we're polite, and don't want to blow you up. Damn am I gonna get flack for this one?
