nice article on Canadian banks in USA Today.

ritholtz.com

Also a terrific summary of the Canadian national healthcare system from the comments...

Well, make sure you learn from the good parts and avoid the rest, particularly for health care:

- If you’re a little bit sick, we’ll deal with it eventually;
- If you’re interested in early diagnosis and prevention, good luck finding a doctor.
