Go Canada

It is old news but I just read,

"In 2008, the World Economic Forum ranked Canada's banking system the healthiest in the world. America's ranked 40th, Britain's 44th."

I knew our friends to the south could deduct mortgage interest on their taxes. I did not know,

"... home loans in the United States are "non-recourse," which basically means that if you go belly up on a bad mortgage, it's mostly the bank's problem. In Canada, it's yours"

We are more liberal than the Americans but we forget, some of our policies are very conservative and rightly so.
