I had a Canadian over at my house this past weekend to watch football. I told him up front that if I asked too many questions to let me know so I would leave him alone. He didn't mind at all and pretty much answered all of my questions.

I asked him about health care and he said that Canada's was better. But he later admitted that we had better doctors and service, but theirs was still better because it was free.

The funniest part of the conversation was when he sort of bashed the second amendment. He said that he simply didn't see a reason why we needed guns. I told him that this was not the point. I don't "need" my guns. I just like to have them. I then let him hold my pistol and my AR-15 M4 and his response was, "holy shit this is cool, can we shoot it sometime?"

He said that overall he liked America and Americans. He admitted that there was some culture shock when he first moved down here, but that he liked it. He also said that Bush was an idiot.
