Canadian regional pay -- prepare to cringe

[Max Powers]

Why would I cringe?
These people have to live in the socialists republic of Canada. Do you know how much of that pay will be going towards taxes?

Yes socialism is horrible no CEO fat cats stealing from investors. You don't have to pay co-pays plus 200 dollars a month to insure your family. Taxes they pay 4 percent more than we do I'll take the trade off.

I second the fact that Canadian girls are hot! I went back up to Vancouver to visit friends + family after a year down here..Everywhere I looked I was amazed to see good looking girls...I need to start hitting whistler more often!

Canadian girls are hot.

I wholeheartedly concur sir!

 

[Andrew_VT]

Canadian girls are hot!

French Canadian girls are in a totally higher league though. You can walk around montreal and easily tell if a girl is anglo-phone or franco-phone just by how hot she is!

I can't speak for B.C. girls though.

Realize that the Canadian dollar is now worth MORE than ours and look at the pay scales for a DH8 pilot as well as per diem. Amazing!

You realize those are canadian dollars don't you? Anyone?

Do you now anything? Have any idea how many flapper heads come to the US for medical care? Why are doctors efficient here? Because the more patients they see the more they get paid. Go to Canada and prepare to sit there all day long. Much more than here. It goes north to south. Canada the longest wait, US less wait, Mexico almost no wait. Put someone on salary and they don't care how many patients they see. I've lived in Mexico and the US and spent considerable time in Canada. You don't want their crap. There's a reason the best hospitals in the world are in the US. Plus how can you admire a country that couldn't defend itself?

The Canadian dollar is just about even with the American dollar now, thanks to George Bush's incompetent economic policy and failed war.

That's still a temporary setback. You're arguing what's happened in roughly one year which is very short sighted. Generally speaking 1 US = 1.4-1.7CAD. At the bottom of our economy we are only equaling theirs.

 

[Mr Wu]

The price of beer alone justifies the higher pay.

It's worth paying the extra money for real beer. Of course, if you're happy paying $3 for carbonated piss more power to you.

The bottom of our economy? You ain't seen nothin' yet. Just wait until our dollar is only worth $0.75 on the Canadian dollar.
