Accidentally not in crisis.

Lucky you.

Is my debt worthless paper still in the bank

[PossiblyAsian]

@uglybitch49 Great comeback.

[PredominateOne]

@uglybitch49 Forsighted Analytical Genius? I'm sure not in the Famous Actors Guild

[PredominateOne]

@uglybitch49 Well I guess you are right. Who the fuck cares about health care? Who the fuck cares about having a police force? Teachers, legal aid, or a pension plan? Who the fuck would want to live in a country where you can get these neccessities without having a rich familiy? Greece is now in a similar predicament because of their giant debts, America will soon follow along with us. If you don't want these advantages go live in a third world country for awhile and see what it's like.

[PredominateOne]

(thats what it has become communism, considering a group determines the amounts of our money go into certain sectors which determines job opportunities, we just have to find the job ourself, and find our own source of housing and food.) also how about selling treasuries so the only way we can pay off our debts when too many people default on the banks assets (our debt is their asset) is taxing the people? especially when the richest don't pay taxes, textbook example of widening the poor/rich gap

[Debaucheries]

This is amazing

[Brinkke]

As an economics student, I hope I can put something in this discussion of merit:

Canada is Canada.

America is America.

Canada is better at some things (like smaller income gap, stronger banking system, federal debt held by Canadians, no trade deficit, tighter social safety net, ... )

America is better at other things (like its super-power status, its higher average income, its preferable geography, its saturated market economy resulting in considerably lower prices, ... )

That's it.

[PredominateOne]

@Brinkke although some things are adjusted so that the scam isn't as easily detected, the scam is the same. How can you morally defend a system that loans out the same debt over and over again until only 10% (American figure what are reserve rates in Canada?) of the money people think they have actually exists? this can only go too far before someone tells us we have to have communism to continue this progress without it collapsing. Or completely digital funds which is close to happening.

[Max17766]

@Brinkke We're catching up to your average income though. Last numbers for us $43 000 per capita income per household (I forget the exact wording). I think two countries co-operating, but still having many differences is a wonderful thing. May our relationship live long and prosper.

[crazycanadian2]

I love my country, lol, and all of its crazy little quirks. :P

[nicolettenoel]

@crazycanadian2 me to hehe

[MintedCoin]

love u canada! <333 one of THE finest countries in the world. and i love RMR, its always so funny. pokes fun at things. it never meant to start all these stupid arguements. x.x

[knives254]

4 people are not stable.

[Avrobullet43]

MY GAWD PEOPLE!!! IT'S A COMEDY! NOT A BATTLE BETWEEN NATIONS!!!

[ps3gamer181]

lol! Rick Mercer is able to fun of anything, so funny!!!

[rubberduckytank]

Yeah our banking system is so retarded it actually saved us from the melt down!

[pacificprospector]

This is too funny, and very Canadian. Seeing "Ranger Rick" (Red-Green show) playing a banker was a good choice.

[viper10011]

@TaylorCAdams lol dumbass in a recent study canadian placed first in eduction 44 percent of canadians get a secondary degree and 95 percent graduate from highschool. The next highest is the USA 38 percent get university and 65 percent graduate from high school. Plus canada is the 8th richest country in the entire world and it consists of olny 34 million people and canada has more oil and natural gas than almost any other country. And canada's economy is the best in the entire world dumbass.

[TaylorCAdams]

@viper10011 You prove my point that Canada is full of pseudo-intellectual cunts, dumbass (Redundant).

[sskoza]

@TaylorCAdams IQ is based largely on education and other acquired knowledge and applications of the aforementioned; which Canada has the highest percentile in terms of post secondary education (#1 at 56%), you're 'facts' are bullshit. According to this, among those who are intelligent, Canada has the highest IQ of any English speaking country (w.w.w.iq-tests-for-the-high-r­ange(.)com/statistics/iq_by_co­untry) California is way worse than Canada if you hate those people, go harp on them.

[GrilledAngus]

@TaylorCAdams you've never been to canada, so get back in your 1996 toyota and go eat another dozen big macs because nobody cares about you, or your opinion. who are u? some lifeless troll who gets off from insulting other countries? i dunno. but thats okay, because the world doesnt care about you.

[TaylorCAdams]

@GrilledAngus Why are you so uptight? Laugh a little, damn. Also, when leaving a snide comment don't resort to useless insults such as your "but thats okay, because the world doesnt care about you." it's been done. Lulz.

[stefrockets]

@TaylorCAdams lemme guess ur american cus well let's face ur country FAILS! first u guys elect a retard who makes money by working with a monkey then u get a guy who can't stop thinking about sex then u get a guy who cant even spell nuclear proerly which is a big problem so STFU u retard and this americana bullshit btw lovely work with vietnam and iraq

[kennyc002]

@TaylorCAdams Now now, let's not generalize here.

[Gnickk]

@TaylorCAdams ED, is that you?

[carrierpilot1357]

@TaylorCAdams I remember reading a statement VERY similar to that off of encyclopedia dramatica... are you sure you are not just reciting something from a satarical wiki whose article about canada was most likely written by us canadians ourselves? Get a life.

[TaylorCAdams]

@carrierpilot1357 obvious troll is obvious, I'm glad someone figured it out instead of bitching a fit at copypasta

[carrierpilot1357]

@TaylorCAdams cool story bro

[TaylorCAdams]

@carrierpilot1357 Lol You're the only smart one who read my comment.

[kyabaggu]

I agree, I think the US is more prosperous but at times it's a trade-off. We afford quality public services, i.e. health care, public education, that provides equal opportunity to all citizens and protects our most vulnerable citizens from the effects of social, economic and environmental determinants of disparity. On the other hand, in the USthe gap between the rich and the poor is widening.

[chufuss]

Why is it, that whenever you watch a video about Canada there are all these negative comments from Americans. As an American it is embarassing. Really, Canada? They are our strongest allie and trading partners.

[Sabina82]

@chufuss Thank you! I agree, it is totally annoying. Why can't we all just get along? As a Canadian who has friends and relatives in the US, I find it very embarrassing for their sake. This isn't a pissing contest, people. Keep your hateful comments to yourself. This is the main problem with the internet - anonymity allows people to act like buffoons with no real consequences.

[awkwardandannoying]

@chufuss

wow, being on Canada's good side really gets you a lotta thumbs

[BestWackyMan]

@chufuss Thank you! Its about time someone figures that out!

[Losuol]

@chufuss "As an American" ... "they are our strongest allie". Must be from the south :)

[Taiyoness]

This has to be one of my favorite skits or RMR.

[ACommonCourtesy]

Hehe, this is so true.

[ryfin2000]

You really have nothing better to do, do you?

[MrJJackYT]

You really have nothing like a real country, do you?

[ryfin2000]

That doesn't even make sense. I don't even know why I'm bothering to write, you're making an ass of yourself alone just fine.

[MrJJackYT]

And you are a dirty foreigner.

'Nuff said.

[VolcomStone678]

Youtube is owned by google which is, you are right, an American company. The content on here though is international, the advertising is international. You can tell people to piss off, but in the end the US does not have a self sustaining economy. The US needs the world and the world needs the US. Go wave your patriotism in front of your equally uneducated buddies.

[VolcomStone678]

Nice. I'm an American citizen.

[MrJJackYT]

Oh my God, we got an Obama lover in the house! Tell

me traitor, do you get a hard on every time you hear your Messiah bad mouth his own country while overseas.

[VolcomStone678]

He was elected lawfully. I have a hard time seeing how I would be a traitor if I did support him. I am also not a religious person so the concept of "Messiah" is lost on me. I would also like to see your sources that show Obama bad mouthing the United States... credible sources would be appreciated.

[MrJJackYT]

Yep, I can smell a weasel Obama lover a mile away.

Obama lover! Hey do you sing that song thoses liberal teachers had those poor kids singing?

Barrack Hussein Obama, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, Barrack Hussein Obama, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...

[ryfin2000]

@VolcomStone678

"He was elected lawfully", more than can be said for SOME presidents (you know who you are :P)

"credible sources would be appreciated" AKA no fox news.

[VirtuosoX1]

@VolcomStone678 Treason, lock him up boys!

[Spurgu87]

You really should get used to that feeling... Of wanting to borrow money!

[watch2talk]

The U.S is 12 trillion dollars in debt :S

[Unt0uchabl33]

mrjjjackyt is just sad that we have more oil and water then his country

[Unt0uchabl33]

> 3 trillion dollars in dept

LOL

[GamerUntouch]

oh god mrjjackyt is butthurt as shit

[MrJJackYT]

Wow, most people in the world don't consider Canada to be a real country.

I didn't know anyone who actually, seriously, is "proud" to be....ha ha ha ha....Canadian.

[choper647]

im canadian, and proud to be canadian

[MrJJackYT]

Most Canadians will march in a gay pride parade at least once in their lives.

[choper647]

i wont. there are no kids in my school who are gay. theres no gay person in my town, which is of about 6 thousand people.

most canadians? maybe you should check your facts before you say something stupid

[MrJJackYT]

You must live in one of the larger cities in Canada.

[team1200]

Most people in the world arent as stupid and as annoying and as ignorant as you, so it goes both ways.

Im Canadian and im proud, and those video's u comment on about being proud to be canadian, counts as people that are proud to be canadian, the ones that tell u to fuck off, are also proud to be canadian

[MrJJackYT]

There is no such thing as a Canadian because Canada is not a real country.

[team1200]

Ok, then why does the video says "CANADIAN" banking, i thought you said it didnt exist?

[JoeyD12345678]

The makes alot of sence considering we have a leader we have our name on the map, we are part of the UN and all the other things that make a peice of land a country... WE HAVE!

[MrJJackYT]

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed

[BlackwatchGuards]

MrJJackYT, although youtube is a California based company. It was founded by three people. Only one of those was American, another was German, and the Other Taiwanese. And, the internet does not belong to any nation, thats the concept on which it was built, and therefore, anyone is free to roam any site as they please.

[MrJJackYT]

A lot of Canadian soldiers actually find husbands in the Canadian army. Gay marriage is legal and it is okay to be openly gay in the Canadian military. So many young men actually find true love after they join up.

Kind of heart warming when you think about it.

[MrJJackYT]

So, ahhh... has Quebec succeeded from your country yet? Aren't you guys about the split up into a millions pieces?

That is why most experts say that Canada is not a real country.

[su345za45]

Fuck off!

[MrJJackYT]

A friend of mine served alongside Canadian soldiers. He said that all you guys do is complain all the time about how hot it is and brag about how your country doesn't need a big military.

Pathetic and very ironic, since they are bragging in front of the men who are actually keeping them free.

[su345za45]

Are you another fanatic american who go around the globe shooting everybody and everything? And anyway the size of Canadian Forces is not your business.

[bleakvista]

You've got to be a troll.

"succeeded from your country?" "a millions pieces?" "experts?" "not a real country?"

the misuse of the term irony and... the cherry on top... "America keeps you free"

Come on! This stereotype of the arrogant American is too perfect.

Surely you knew this was a self-deprecatory skit by a Canadian comedian? Surely you know the difference between a nation and a country?

Please tell me you weren't serious. Please don't devalue my U.S. citizenship any further.

[MrJJackYT]

I disagree. Canadians are ignorant and really all Americans should pay attention to their insults.

To Americans reading this:

Read the ignorant, hate-filled rants coming out of the mouths of typical Canadians and judge for yourselves. How long are we going to let these people threaten our freedom and way of life? Sooner or later, you will probably all come to the same conclusion. Canada must be destroyed.

[phaub]

threaten your freedom and way of life?

Hey guys, he's onto us!

[DouglasEdward84]

Your the ignorant and hate filled creepy loser.

[MrJJackYT]

You are a dirty foreigner. Americans don't care what you think. Stop using our website, foreigner.

[PaulkyArcher]

omh the internet if free a free place nobody ownes it so stop acting like americaans own everything

[MrJJackYT]

Actually Americans do own this website and you as a foreigner are leeching off of us.

[PaulkyArcher]

honeslty?

they did nt make this site only for americans. the internet is not only for amricans. if the world kept what they made ony to themselves u wouuld not have insolen for diebetes, the m1 carbine or garand and thats only from canada.

stop being an ignorent person and understand that not everything belongs to america

[MrJJackYT]

I have no ideal what you are talking about. The fact remains:

You are a dirty foreigner. Americans don't care what you think. Stop using our website, foreigner.

[PaulkyArcher]

how am i dirty?

if im a forenger so are u im i am dirty so r u.

[MrJJackYT]

So now you go around feeling sorry for yourself? Oh, boo hoo my mommy is dead.

Grow a backbone...dirty foreigner.

[HereFishy]

MrJJJackYT = LOL.

Silly, arrogant and conceited Americans. No wonder no one likes you folks :)

[DemonTheMonarch]

Hmm...

If Americans, and by Americans, I assume you mean "just you and you alone," don't care what Canadians, aka, peopl who are citizens of the country of Canada, think; then why for several months have you returned to reply to them, either by sounding like a tool, or trying to sound like you have a clue what you're taling about?

Awesome skit xD

[MrJJackYT]

2008 GDP Canada = 1.5 Trillion

2008 GDP US = 14.5 Trillion

Do I really need to say anything else?

[ryfin2000]

And the US has about 10x the population of Canada. Therefore the GDP per capita is about equivilent.

[MrJJackYT]

Therefore the US is massively larger, more powerful, and far more successful than your backward moose-filled colony.

[ryfin2000]

First of all your economy is in the crapper right now as Canada is recovering. Secondly Canada is physically larger than the US. We have much more natural resources, including a significant source of the world oil (10% of oil used in the USA is Canadian) forests, lakes and rivers, etc. What does America have that we don't have a lot more of?

[MrJJackYT]

First of all, YouTube is an American website. Secondly, you are a dirty foreigner. And finally, stop leeching of my country non-American. Use your own websites.

[ryfin2000]

Don't want me using "your" website? I wasn't aware that you were the majority owner of Google. If youtube didn't want me using their site, they wouldn't let me. How am I leaching off your country? If you mean by visiting youtube, then I am contributing to youtube's ad profits, therefore I am contributing to your country. Finally you aren't the boss of America, and it is people like you who give the mostly decent American people a bad name abroad.

[MrJJackYT]

Few Americans consider Canada to be a real country.

[AWDracer]

@MrJJackYT Few Americans are as ignorant as you are. America is an intellectual beacon in today's world. It is shocking how far some apples fall from the tree.

[svd205]

"what does america have that we dont have a lot more of"? LIVABLE LAND!!! WE HAVE more ppl in california than your entire country. if you ever learn anything about economics its that PRODUCTIVE HUMAN BEINGS, are the biggest asset to a country.the USA has been the most culturally,economically and politically important nation in the world for 70 years now and this is incredible for a country barely 200 years old. PEOPLE CAN ACTAULLY LIVE HERE WITHOUT BEING FROZEN FOR SIX MONTHS OF THE YEAR!

[ryfin2000]

@svd205 "PEOPLE CAN ACTAULLY LIVE HERE WITHOUT BEING FROZEN FOR SIX MONTHS OF THE YEAR"

Tell that to the folks in washington and new york right now, while we enjoy springlike weather... We have a ton of livable land, contrary to popular beleif, the temperature doesn't drop 32 degrees at the border. Also, what good are "productive human beings" when you import nearly everything, and when, what, like 15% of them are unemployed?

[svd205]

heres what i hate. people who are ignorant enough to believe stereotypes rather than numbers and facts. the percentage of arable land in canada is only 5% and in the USA its 15%. this means although we have the same amount of land, we have three times as much land where people can live, grow food, and be happy. these are facts. so yes, what doesnt canada have? LIVALE LAND! i dont mean to say you have no land, where people can live, i mean we have three times as much as you. this makes us better.

[dhortphad]

@svd205 livable land without affordable health care= a lot of sick and dying people who hate their government

[svd205]

also, please note that USA GDP per capita is about 10,000 dollars more than canada. and this isnt "imported" stuff, this is GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT!!!! i would sincerely advise you to start looking at statistics and not general stereotypes which the CBC feeds you on a daily basis. theres a reason why the USA has 10 times as many people as canada, and the reason is because our land supports much more life, has much more oppurtunities and is much more pleasant. canadians in florida anyone?

[ryfin2000]

@svd205

Yeah, how much of the american gdp is based off of the financial sector? Also whats your national debt at now?

[svd205]

financial sector? you think its bad for people to be comfortably sitting in offices and working instead of being lumberjacks and working in factories all day long? some of the most developed countries in the world like singapore, switzerland, luxemborg, do nothing but financial secotr jobs!!!! and you talk about the debt? its much lower per capita than MOST DEVELOPED COUNTRIES. i wonder if you've actaully ever looked at the numbers instead of just repeating talking points and stereotypes.

[ryfin2000]

@svd205

Fine you win. I'm too tired for this.

[VolcomStone678]

I can tell you're from the financial sector, you're grammatical abilities astound me. I'm baffled at how well you write. Don't talk about stereotypes since you are yourself using them to back up your claims. If the debt does not worry you, then there is seriously something wrong with you. Less debt percentage wise doesn't mean better. 5% of 1 billion is different than 5% from 12 trillion (Just made up numbers). More US money, the less it's value to foreign investors.

[svd205]

i wont spend my time having a debate with you just like the last guy, but let me assure you that the US economy in the long run has proven itself to be incredibly storng. and history has shown us to never bet against the USA. the US DOllar is today responsible for 66% of all foreign reserves, which is more than what i can say about the canadian dollar. US is the most important world currency.plus, thank your fellow canadians for coming to vacation here in the USA and bringing your dollars.

[VolcomStone678]

Me neither. Let me just say this: You speak of the present, do you really think the world will see as much value in the US dollar when they all hold trillions in debt? I highly doubt it. I'm not debating the power of the US currency in the now, but everything as an end in the future. We should enjoy what we have while it lasts. US more fiscally powerful than Canada? Yes, no debate there, but in the end the standards of living are the same so the point is moot.

[svd205]

standards of living is the same? bro, i you joking? is that why 25-40% of all doctors and engineers in canada will eventually move to the USA because of better pay, oppurtunities,etc? have you never heard of the canadian brain drain? are you aware that 25,000 canadians come to the USA every year, while only 5000 americans go to canada? if by standard of livingn you mean people have houses and cars then fine. but if you look at lifetime PROSPERITY, the USA is 25-35% more prosperous.

[VolcomStone678]

You're throwing random numbers in the air. You didn't want a debate? Too late you got one. Opportunities? I'm sorry I must be getting the whole recession thing wrong. I forgot how many job opportunities the US currently had. I believe 20 jobs for each applicant? (sarcasm). Yes I did mean standard of living, people live equally well in both countries, I can't believe this is even a point you're making. They make more money in the US? Sure.

[svd205]

recession? will it last forever? lol, recessions are normal once every seven to eight years. ppl dont live equally well in both countries. average wages in the USA are 25 percent higher than canada and compensation of employess is as well. having a house to live in, a tv and two cars doesnt make it the same standard of living you idiot. people in italy have that too. i will send you a link to prove it.

[VolcomStone678]

You're missing my point. Luxembourg has a higher average wage salary then the US, is its standard of living higher? That's what you're basing your whole argument on, the fact that the US has higher wages, thus the best standard of living. Don't call me an idiot, you're the one who can't spell.

[VolcomStone678]

PS: Wikipedia is not the best scholar source to use. I take it you never went to college? I can't wait to hear how you're a successful plastic surgeon in your comeback.

[VolcomStone678]

They'll enjoy more benefits in Canada though, and yes I am talking about our evil socialist ways.

[TMNTPIZZA]

@svd205 considering thousands of americans die from your horrible health care its an equal trade off

[TMNTPIZZA]

@svd205 its called an education! we have that up here in canada! why dont you check it out!

[TMNTPIZZA]

@MrJJackYT never use a telephone again dirty foreigner! it belongs to us candadians! and no more light bulbs!

[ryfin2000]

Oh, I forgot to add, Saudi Arabia, you know, that country that your president bowed to their leader? Their GDP is 592 billion, aka 3 times smaller than "insignificant" Canada's.

[MrJJackYT]

Do you have alzheimer's or something foreigner?

You should see a doctor about your constant forgetting of things.

And BTW

Few Americans consider Canada to be a real country.

[ryfin2000]

Ok, what am I forgetting. So not many Americans consider Canada to be a country. Do I care? I consider Canada a country, the UN considers Canada a country, what should I care what some Americans think?

[MrJJackYT]

2008 GDP Canada = 1.5 Trillion

2008 GDP US = 14.5 Trillion

Do I really need to say anything else?

[ryfin2000]

Come back when you think of a new argument please, your repetiveness is annoying.

[MrJJackYT]

2008 GDP Canada = 1.5 Trillion

2008 GDP US = 14.5 Trillion

Do I really need to say anything else?

[SyxxPunk]

Yes, you do.

[KayoKsaKayo]

MrJJack, you know you might be using a Canadian product? Here's a list:

- Black Berry

- Ubisoft Montreal games (Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell)

- Bioware games (Mass Effect, KotOR)

- IMax movies (Almost all IMax film is processed in Technicolor Toronto)

- Telephone

- Light Bulb (Which was sold to Thomas Edison)

- Zipper

- Basketball

The list could go on. Ignorant anti-Canadian people shouldn't be using zippers, telephones or lights since Canadians made it.

[MrJJackYT]

Gay

[Number7smokesForEver]

No one cares about your sexual orientation.

[ryfin2000]

Don't forget insulin. So anti-Canadians diabetics shouldn't be using insulin. Fine if you don't have diabeties, if you do...

[tumbleweeds83]

Stricter regulations benefitted the Canadian banking system. We should be thankful for it. Good stuff though... lol. Hello to all Canadians.

[LoouLost]

Canada's Banks: we're kind of stable, sort of... and we're accidentally not in crisis yet. You know, in that statement RMR reveals the general Canadian attitude towards things in general, and how we tend to just not understand what is going on. Mind you, being "Accidentally NOT in crisis" is much better than being "Accidentally IN crisis" which is what the US and most of the world is in.

[lauar21]

Psst...Canada is spelled incorrectly in the title.

Otherwise...

I love The Mercer Report. Great stuff, guys!

[Propagandhi900]

no it isn't.

[lauar21]

It was before. It's not now. Obviously it's been fixed.

[mendelbot]

She turned me into a newt... well I got better.

[lauar21]

Wait. Who turned you into a newt exactly?

[MC1250]

lol
