<<When they get sick, though, they always go home. Why is that ? >> Well generally speaking, they usually go home like anywhere else in the "first world."

Guess I should ask my neighbors ... they're Canadians and I don't think they ever go back. Canada has a lower infant mortality rate and a longer life expectancy Don't compare Canada to the whole US. Compare it to Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Minnesota, the Dakota's, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington, Oregon ... those places in the northern US are demographically similar to Canada (most of whose population lives within 50 miles of the border). I'll bet you Americans in those states beat the Canadian numbers. Just like health stats of Americans of Japanese descent beat Japanese, and etc etc.
