Some of the reasons my brother is thinking of moving to Canada. While Canada is not perfect - it's basic governmental philosophy is sound, while ours has gone completely out of control. Ex: we are borrowing money to fight a war while at the same time giving tax cuts. That's crazy! Federal lands grazing rights are leased at rates set in the 1800's! That's crazy!! Mineral right s on federal lands are also lease at 1800's rates. That's crazy! And the lists goes on.
