That aside, I find it funny how the US catches up with the rest of the industrialized world and everybody seems to think the ****ing sky is falling. Trust me, you'll like your "socialist" health care better.

First of all, you're generalizing. But I know what you're saying. There are SOME Americans who are afraid of change or who don't want to accept change so they respond by saying negative things about it. However, your post implies that all Canadians (and people around the world) are thinking like this. Again, you're generalizing. Like lucifer sam stated, the superiority that some Canadians feel our country has over the US is annoying. Not to mention that it's absolutely ridiculous. Canada has its flaws as well - starting with the current government, or more specifically, Stephen Harper.
I think the passing of the health care bill has really cemented Obama's legacy, whether he is re-elected in 2012 or not. The fact that this was one of the main promises on his campaign agenda and that he was able to fulfill it is amazing. Not many politicians do that.
