Adren, myself, golem, garrick, val kilmer, pallidice, and unfortunately myrk all live in Canada. Drunken, bonky, and qwerty live in Australia. So that's 6 cool ppl and one fag versus 2 fags and a bull dyke. Canada ftw.

i got mine from aus wikipedia page vs canadian wikipedia page in USD. your figures are different because its (PPP) , so they say that canada makes $200 more per person.
in other words if an australian worked for a year and took their money to u.s they would have ~65k, whereas if a canadian did the same they would have ~40k

Missed a few criteria - food healthcare education weather food is probably pretty similar healthcare we win hands down (free + very good). education we win hands down weather... we have a million different climates here... pretty hard to base anything on that. I DID say ETC. Food: never been to canada so I've got no idea, guessing it's pretty much the same though. Healthcare: ours is also free, and if average life expectancy is anything to go by then australia wins. education: if you go by the education index published by the UN then australia comes in at 2nd place, canada 6th. weather: dumbest thing to rank a country on, it's subjective. Conclusion: it's about the same |

You can add me to the 2 fags and a bull dyke in Australia. I would like to be described as an arse clown though...
So for the record in Australia so far we have ;
2 fags, a bull dyke and an ass clown.
I have never been to Canada, so I would reserve final judgment. Have you ever been to Australia Adren ?

I have cougars in my backyard. Both kinds too. Also, it is much more costly to live in australia because they are heavily reliant on their imports. I would love to visit australia, i don't have much against it other than the obvious petty things, and also val kilmer does NOT live in canada.

i have not been to australia myself, but one of my best friends lived there for 2 years, and another has been living there for 5 years. they both surf, and lived in Surfer's Paradise... don't think they saw much else of the country.

well... Team Canada this year is mostly rookies and very young players, with the expection of Getzlaf and Perry. And our best players are not even playing, or were not invited to play. We will have an unstoppable team for the Olympics. Think about Nugent-Hopkins, Eberle, Tavares, Toews, Kane, etc 2 years from now... add Crosby, Giroux, Stamkos, Igilna, etc...
