[Deleted User 14888]

Oh good, the idiot parade is out in force. If you can read, try this... What's "Not working"?

For the third consecutive year, Canada is the No. 1 country to live in for the best quality of life, according to the U.S. News & World Report 2018 Best Countries list.

In order to help people understand how nations are perceived on a global scale, over 21,000 respondents were asked to evaluate 80 countries by ranking them according to 65 attributes. Among those were economic influence, power, citizenship and quality of life, which collectively helped determine each country's success as a modern nation.

And the USA? Continues to decline unless you consider declining mortality, health and quality of life measures of success.

Time for TC to pack his bags and I’ll arrange the moving expenses, If you think it’s better in Canada, Then we’ll see to it that you can live there, But of course that’s only if they want you, I wouldn’t give them our trash if they don’t want it.

[TC Talks]

I really dont know what you are talking about, Oldies. Are you sharing Wine bottles with Toronto urchins, or sharing a bong with Ann Arbor grifters? Or both?

If I look at the concept of quality of life, I have realized that there are people who think being miserable and hoping everyone else should be dragged down to their level is how it should be. Jesus was a socialist. You must not have faith.

The truth about America today; Conservatives want nothing more than to sacrifice everything to make the rich even richer. Here's a reality: neither of you are rich, but you are patsies for the Billionaires. That's lunacy, humanity should be working to raise the quality of life everywhere. Excellent education, a safety net and health care won't threaten anyone. But fear sure is a motivator, it seems to be working on you people.

Boo!

P.S. more good news

TC, It’s time for me to leave when you start talking to yourself in second person, One minute your TCTalks, Then the next your TC Shuts up, That must mean you’ve been defeated, You need a third person, TC Can’t Make Up His Mind, See You Later Brother, And seek some professional help.

Not trying to turn it on Canada, I love Canadians, I married a Canasian, The point I’m making is simple, Turkey always drums up articles about crime in this country, Our USA, But never about Canada, Yes this country does have a ton of shit holes as you put it TC, That’s no doubt and so does Canada, So here is my list of cities in Canada that are the worst to live in, (Based on having family and friends living in these cities and telling the real story.)
#1 Toronto
#2 London
#3 Windsor
#4 Montreal
#5 Vancouver
#6 Quebec City
That’s my list of the 6 worst cities to live in Canada

Now, The next thing Dudes, First TC the question was for Turkey not you, Again you have to speak for Turkey and to be honest I just don’t get that. The second thing Turkey why all the negative stories about the United States, Dude you vacation here, If it’s that bad then keep you ass at home in Canada. I love both the U.S.A. and Canada. That’s it for now guys. I voiced my opinion on this subject. Oh, Canada has a Socialist Government TC, And it’s not working. Just to inform you my friend.

Some of the cities on your list, I've never visited, so I have no opinion. With the others, I share your opinion on some and disagree with you on others. But that is only our subjective opinions.

The study I posted was based on a number of measurable factors.

The crime stories I post are selected for the crazy or bizzar natore of the crime. Many of them happen in Florida. When I'm here I see them on the news every night.

A few months ago I posted a story about police breaking up a fight at an Ontario shopping centre. Two old ladies were using their canes as weapons.

I often post stories here about biker crimes. Nearly all of them happen in Canada.

The honest truth is that CITIES ARE IN COMPETITION WITH EACH OTHER!

If a city shows up on some list as bad, it influences some people to not visit or not build businesses or stores there, as opposed to the "good" cities of the world. Truth is, people are people, and some are criminals, and some cities have more criminals than others. And that includes seedy investors and financiers. They say, wow!, the urban homesteaders are moving to lofts in Detroit! Let's send money there!

The Flint Water Crisis is a good example of cities in competition. Detroit didn't want Flint to leave their water system, because it was propping up and paying for a good percentage of the costs not being paid by the people of Detroit. Not just Flint, but ~425,000 people in Genesee County. Detroit kept jacking up the costs, and it reached the breaking point. The Kareghondi Water Pipeline was way behind schedule, and some people caved to the pressure and switched on the old Flint River water system. It was a bad idea, and they should have done more checking and research, but face it, nobody said "let's poison the people of Flint with Lead". It is much more complicated than that. Flint River water is not that unusual in its Chemistry. Water corrodes parts, alkaline detergents have to be added to parts washers to keep parts from rusting. Aging parts washers are like aging leaky toilets, and leak the alkaline detergents. Not rocket science, but manufacturing science. Not just in Flint.

The coverup is another story. Too many of our politicians have long accepted the horror stories about Flint, pointing fingers, not realizing that three fingers were pointing back at them. I don't doubt that many politicians, both Democrat and Republican, have bad opinions and attitudes about Flint, and have for years. People and politicians in Grand Rapids and West Michigan have had these attitudes for half a century or more, and about Flint, Detroit, Saginaw, Pontiac, etc. And some, but not all, of these opinions are racially motivated. The attiudes about Flint, though, are enthusiastically fed, quite frankly, by Detroit Media News stories.

Roger Smith had the choice to leave some plants open in Flint or move them to the Detroit area. Mike Moore was correct about those details, but not much more. Lansing, the State Capital, had more influence, so they ended up keeping Oldsmobile for a while. But where is Oldsmobile now? A lot of those plants near Detroit have ended up closing too. Not just Michigan either. And look at the giant developing boondoggle in Wisconsin called Foxconn.

Look what happened to GM. GM as we knew it is gone, and they couldn't even blame Flint anymore for their woes. The government took over, made the stock worthless, hurting the COMMON people who sold it too late. The government didn't know how to run a business, and wisely realized this and privatized most of it again. But now GM is quickly going down hill again. Don't blame Flint. You all but pulled out before any of these latest crises happened.

Well Oldies, can you share how people from the US are treated once Canadians find out you are from the states?

[Deleted User 14896]

And as far as Turkey's original list that started this thread, I would say the same regardless of who posted it:
Big deal. Just another media stir fest.

I have friends in Davison, we go into Flint all the time. I'm not afraid of anything there.
I go into Ecorse at least once a month. I would have no fear walking up and down West Jefferson at any time of the day or night in that city. In my personal opinion, River Rouge north of Coolidge is a far more dangerous place than anywhere in Ecorse. And the Rouge isn't even on the list. That there tells you this list is grade A certified USDA choice bullshit.

This list was just something to jack up ratings. Some crap to tease at the top of the hour with, and finally show towards the end of the hour to get as many people to not change channels.

It’s a mixed bag some Canadians are great and some are not so much, The French Canadians do have attitude because of the English speaking people, It just depends, My Wife is originally from Windsor and her family is scattered throughout Canada and the same for me I have family throughout Ontario as well, So all in all the people are great. And to be honest most Canadians love people from the “States” as they say.

Windsor is a bit of a sewer. Head west down Wyandotte from the tunnel and it gets shady real quickly. Lots of run down buildings with bars on the windows and old neighborhoods filled with low-income rental properties. Or just go directly east of the casino. On the other side of Goyeau is a straight-up slum that ive felt a bit uncomfortable driving through. And dont forget the famous Drouillard Rd, Windsors "skid row".

And the USA? Continues to decline unless you consider declining mortality, health and quality of life measures of success.

Yup...Started in that direction right after Johnson's "Great Society" was implemented.

[Deleted User 14888]

I haven't seen any similar studies ranking Canadian cities in terms of quality of life. Anything I could say would only be my own subjective opinion based on my experience. And because I have no experience at all with most Canadian cities, I don't have an opinion

One of my favourite cities is Montreal. One of my least favorite is Ottawa .

Turkey, Do you have experience in any of these cities listed in the article that you put forth to make a judgment call ? And TC stay the hell away from that question let Turkey answer.

Nope, there was a decade of decline after WWII then it increased until GWB's policies kicked in.

The only city from the list I have seen is Detroit. It wouldn't be fair to judge the city just on what I see passing through on the Interstate.

Looking north across the river from Windsor, the Detroit skyline looks impressive.
