I don't need you to tell me why Canada is full of slackers. Canada could
have the largest per capita GDP in the world if we raped our environment
and
worked ourselves to death. That's not what Canada is all about.

Oh c'mon now - I love a good pointless debate as much as the next guy, but
Canada ain't exactly leading the charge in either department (environment
or work/life balance).

You are correct, Canada is certainly not leading that charge. I'm not sure
that makes my statement any less true though.

I just don't see "we're like, 2% better on the environment than you guys"
as a particularly persuasive argument. However, round these parts, that
might not the be the point...
