3 ways America should be more like Canada

Zippidy Doo Da. Zippityday!

Do you like Molsen?
molson,nah.....i don't do much drinkin' these days,but i was more a corona guy......actually i preferred u.s. brands,but stuff they sell here is not the same....they tend to brew and bottle us brands here to suit canuckistanian tastes.....back in the day we had some butt kickin' stuff,and it came in a full12 oz bottle......

"party line" ,yeah, i know ......some people never got over not being popular in high school and spend the rest of their days looking for a substitute.....im not really a card carrying canuckistanian believer tho'......

i recall actual party lines.. a lot of people had them when i was young ....they were cheap alternatives to a private phone and very common in the country....we never did,but i think that an incoming call had a different ring tone for each customer,and how people put up with a neighbor who liked to yak i don't know...i remember people in apartments all sharing a payphone in front and yelling up to people in windows to relay messages
 
I think we need a thread of things that America has, that Canada doesn't - like a decent super hero. Does Canada have any?

We have Superman, Batman, Spiderman,Hulk,etc. Who do they have: Dudley Do-right.

I had a party line when I was younger. It was a way to live within our means. And save resources.
