Description
Jeff Pearce's book is a humungous, hilarious and controversial wave of the Maple Leaf and reveals that Canadian nationalism is in the end...fun. Provocative and insightful, Canada vs. United States demonstrates how Canada holds its own and even outperforms the U.S. in such areas as the economy, arts, quality of life, banking, law enforcement and even sex (ahem, especially sex). You may know that Canada is BIGGER in land mass and has WAY MORE natural resources, BUT, you may not know: * Canadians have less debt. * Canadians are better educated. * Canadians get more vacation days, and yet we work harder. * The Canadian military hasn't cared about gays in the ranks for years, and that same military kicked the Americans back across the border each time they invaded! * Our healthcare system is better. * Canada is known and respected for its peacekeeping and peacemaking. * AND...Canadians even live longer!
