Open Question: Is it legal in Canada to be fired without pay?

I was working in a tiny art store for 3 days. 2 days were unpaid training, and the boss fired me on the spot the 3rd day for not phoning her when a package came (I had no idea I was supposed to call her, but she was furious over this) Anyways she said she was not going to pay me for this and fired me on the spot, Is that legal? I feel like there is something wrong with this.. I was doing everything in the job description right but still, she fired me without no pay. Should I contact a labour board about this? By on the spot, I should have written at the very end of my shift (which I ended up staying half an hour longer because the boss was tardy)

Open Question: Need ideas for future career/education?

I believe it's past the deadline to apply for most of the post-secondary institutions here in BC, Canada, but that also gives me more time to decide. I'm being pressured by my mom who keeps asking me if I've registered for SFU even though she knows the deadline is due.. she is telling to take some random sciences since "everyone" is taking it and that I can decide after I'm finished. Now, I just want to go somewhere in the lower mainland maybe next winter/whenever I can, but I don't know what to take. I would prefer something that will guide to a wanted career, something that is fun, expanding and has a good future. I'm interested in photography, but I think it would be difficult to receive started. I'm interested in food as well, but I have no experience and it's difficult to receive a good job as a cook. Maybe something else to do with food? I have a good eye and can tell what is aesthetically pleasing (fashion, design, products, etc) and I usually point out to myself that something is "professional looking", lol. It would be chilly to design products like the things at http://www.yankodesign.com/ I'm also strategic and I can predict people very well. I can sense how people feel, but I don't really want to have to deal with customers and the like. I also wouldn't mind working in a laboratory and testing things.

Open Question: Breast Reduction anyone got anything?

Hi so I'm 16 and 5'7 and 115 pounds and my breast size is 36 EE, and I have asked my mom to give me a breast reduction for various reasons one being my back hurts an extreme amount and my spine is curving. She said no and obviously it is not normal for someone my size to have 36 EE's so I begged and I was willing to pay aswell because I have been saving up from my job but no..... so I went to a surgeon and he said he needs parent permission but I don't know my dad and she says no (don't know why ask her) now I respect my mom but the consent staring and pain is fuc*king annoying so does anyone know what I can do to receive them reduced because I can't stand this anymore I will go to freaking Canada or Mexico if they don't need parent permission.

Resolved Question: Are illegal aliens good for the economy?

There is so much rancor about this issue, and has been for years. I would prefer to look people arrive here legally and work the system to receive their green cards and then citizenship. When people think of illegal aliens most think of Mexicans but forget that illegals arrive here by plane every the time from many different countries. Some even arrive from Canada and then never leave. Do you think illegals take jobs away from Americans since most of those jobs pay less than minimum wage and are not reported for taxes? How many Americans want to pick tomatos in fields every day long? Are there some jobs that we do need migrant workers for ( who are illegal most of the time). Do we need work ID cards that the goverment is now looking into issuing? What's your opinion. Joel W: you are correct about the abuse of the visa's. I saw this myself at Harrah's in Cherokee NC. I found many indonesians working in the hotel nearby and at the casino restaurants. I was very surprised by this and concerned about who is allowed to arrive into this country this way. Someone is getting these people approved for the visa's though, and that's at a goverment level.

Open Question: Job registration/application in Canada from US?

I am planning to move to Canada once I graduate from school. Maybe after working for a couple of months since I have no fundings or any type of experience on the job.

Yes I need to apply for a work allow and every that and I need work experience of the field I would like to work on, or a certificate(Which I am working on, graduating in about 2 more months) but I just need a type of site that will actually let other people look see that I am avilable and what I am doing. Maybe theres one site that I can apply so that employers from Canada can look my resume and hire me since I would actually need a sponsor some time in the future for me to be able to move to Canada. If theres any help that anyone can help me with this.. I will most gladly appreciate every of it. I am almost done with school and I have to keep on moving, dont want to leave things for the very end. P

Open Question: How do I get out and into the dangerous world?

Alright, so school is really down the drain this year; no credits last semester and shitty marks this year due to my addiction to skipping for bizarre reasons. When I skip I mostly stay home and read or research in-depth things. I dont play video games. My marks have always stayed high, but I hate wasting my time with these "FUN FUN FUN" little projects and assignments, just so that I can be asessed and brought up the ranks of dullnes: People in buisness suits, offices with boring goals like making little pieces of ungenuin marketable junk, or trade jobs and inventionists making things bigger, finer, better. every of these balls of flamming retardation that I have to live in about being simply part of a huge project fighting battles for old figures who havn't figured once maybe that their systems are ruining the entire world. I keep thinking that I,m an insignificant 15 year old who has to be dull. I want old codes specialized so that I have the opportunity to participate in some exciting never-ending story. I don't want to go through the bland pop culture of todays era. I want a new scenario, plot, and theme. I actually think that if my dad had a shotgun, I could look myself stealing a car, racing to a serene spot and blowing my brains out. To cope though, I just imagine the wierdest thing I could say or thing that could happen; maybe im going through a typical teenage stage, or maybe I'm crazy. I just want out and into the big `ole dangerous world. This isn't really a question, I just wznt input and suggestions. Sorry about errors, I'm writing this on a Wii. Any suggestions; the more elaborate suggestionsm the better. I am a 15 yr old boy who needs some excitement. I live in a tiny town in Canada.

Open Question: Jobs for 15 year old in Ottawa, Canada?

Hello, I’m almost 15 years old and I desperately need a job. I'm a good worker and a good student at school. I'm also bilingual which should help a bit. I need to receive 2000 $ before December of this year to go on a trip to Rwanda for Christmas break. The only job I’ve ever had was delivering newspaper, which by the way I hated as well as babysitting and I don't want to do either of those jobs. I also don’t really want to work in a quick food company. I live in Ottawa Ontario so if you know about any jobs I can apply for that would really help :) Thank you!

Open Question: In Canada, what is the highest "in altitude" corporate building?

Would it be in Whistler, BC or Edmonton, Alberta or some other city? I had a odd dream last night that I was roaming through Canada in search of the highest "in altitude" non-residential office building that is not a hotel, ski lodge, or any tourist venue. In other words, a corporate building engaged in the ordinary business as business. So like I would be going into corporate banks or corporate chain Headquarter buildings, go to the top floor of the cubicals, and ask random office employees "Do you believe you are working this nice of job in the highest place in the country???" odd dream I know I'm thinking it would have to be a relatively big town, in the mountains....probabaly Whistler? I know the highest point in Canada is in Kuane National Park in the Yukon. No such corporate buildings there. Or perhaps Banff?

Open Question: Criminal records and being a security guard.?

First of every, I live in Ontario, Canada. When I was 18, I was charged with a few counts of theft (below), and possession of stolen property. I am now 20, it's been exactly two years and well - Ofcourse i realize that i have really screwed myself. I'm looking into getting a job as a security guard but I don't know if my charges for theft will restrict my chances significantly. Security companies (like Night Hawk), want you to pay the $250, receive licensed - then play a gambling game, but I personally don't have $250 to gamble away. I know of people with charges of a violent nature getting their license and successfully working as a security guard - but ofcourse that isn't the same as theft. Have my charges really screwed me? or do i still have a chance in getting a security guard job?

Open Question: Trying to clear 15 year old Canadian warrant before re-entering Canada for a visit?

My husband and I moved from Canada to the US 15 years ago and left behind an outstanding court date for him on a charge of fleeing the country. It sounds way worse than it is,this is the story....... When originally moving to the states we were stopped at the border for him having an outstanding warrant for a battle years before. He was arrested and paid the fine, but since we were travelling on American passports when we were stopped he was then nailed with a fleeing the country charge and given a court date for a few months later. Well we were young and had to receive to jobs in the states and so we left (fully intending to arrive back for the court date) but we didn't make it back. So now we want to receive this entire thing cleared up. I want to pay the fine and be done with this, so we can go back to canada and show off my beautiful baby boy, but we are not wealthy. Is there anyway to deal with this without having to pay a lawyer 300-500 dollars?? Can he just turn himself in somewhere, or call someone and pay this???

Open Question: in land or outland sponsorship?

I am Canadian and my common-law partner is Mexican. We are currently living in Mexico although I have overstayed my visa. We want to move to Canada by fall or winter. We want for him to be able to work in Canada because it would be difficult for me to support us both. So my question is what would be the best way to go about this? 1. an out-land sponsorship. could I sponsor him while we are both still in Mexico if I show intent on returning to Canada? that way by fall the application would already be almost done and in the meantime he could arrive on a vistor visa until it is finalized. 2. in-land sponsorship once we receive to canada. i heard this can be longer but the good thing is once you have first stage approval you can receive an open work allow. the problem is that you have to stay in canada for the whole time so i dont think this is a good option. 3. if he comes to canada on a vistor visa and finds a job once we are there and then applies for a work allow. or tries to find a job that doesnt ask for a work allow. can anyone tell me which process would be the best for us??? thank you :) also we haven't been living together for a year yet. it has only been 7 months so if we did the out land sponsorship should we wait until it has been a year or just try to make it seem like it has been? or receive married?

Resolved Question: Is this job another scam?

I applied for this job about two weeks ago and just last week, he finally responded. To me it sounds like it could be just another one of those scams. I'm not sure. Any help? It sounded suspicious to me so I went online and took a look around the net for the address that he gave me and I found that the address wasn't even an actual place but a place of a hotel! Also the phone number that he gave me was also VERY suspicious. Below is the letter that he sent me. RE: Protocol/Logistic assistant (MY LAST NAME, MY FIRST NAME) from Yahoo! HotJobs Kay Bruce: Hello, Thanks for applying for the post, I quite I appreciate it. I received and read your e-mail and it's reasonable and acceptable. So I will give this a go. I'm looking for someone that can be trusted and reliable, someone with good understanding and working skills. I am Mr Bruce, 54 yrs of age, I'm a lawyer by profession and I have been pretty successful in a handful of ventures I receive involved in; from the Angel Investment Network in Canada and United State to various welfare and community service programs. I most very often receive my hands occupied, so it is imperative for me to have a worthy assistant who can monitor and keep me up to date with my activities. This position is home-based and flexible, working with me is basically about instructions and following them. My only fear is that I may arrive at you impromptu sometimes, so i need someone who can be able to meet up with my irregular timings. As my personal assistant, your activities among others will include: *Create and modify documents using Microsoft Office *Running personal errands, supervisions and monitoring. *Scheduling programmes, flights and keeping me up to date with them. *Acting as an alternative telephone correspondence while I'm away. telephone correspondence while I'm away. *Making regular contacts and drop-offs on my behalf. *Handling and monitoring some of my financial activities.. *Basic wage is $450 a week . QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: *Good planning, communication and organization skills *Must be honest, reliable & dependable *Excellent verbal & written communication skills *Must have strong problem solving skills *Must be organized & extremely detail oriented *Experience working with the internet, email, MS Excel and MS Word *Ability to multi-task and self manage/24/7 mindset *A willingness to do whatever needs to be done is a must NOTE: The over qualification requirements can also be learnt if you are willing to take up the challenges. I'm sure you'll understand I tend to have a very busy schedule at this point as I am presently in Ireland for a summit. I will be back in Three Weeks time. I think you're the right person for this post, Please note that this position is not office based for now because of my frequent travels and tight schedules. It's a part-time, work from home basis and the flexibility means that there will be busier weeks than others. So it's a little difficult judging the exact number of hours you'll be doing per week. If you can manage your time properly, this job may even give you some extra while you do something else on the side. As I have said, I'd want us to receive a head start with things as soon as possible. I do have a pile up of work and a number of unattended chores which you can immediately assist me with. I wish we can meet up with the workload eventually. allow me to use the coming week to test your efficiency and diligence towards every this, also to work out your time schedule and fit it to mine. I really need to find the perfect person for this job and i am confident you can take up the challenges. On the long run we should have a relatively sound working relationship between us. I'm online most of the time as I am difficult of hearing so I prefer we contact each other through E-mails but if there is need for me to call, I will be glad to do that. I am glad you are willing to work with me and i promise to be a good boss. I am also glad on the commitment in working. I have been checking my files and what i would want you to do for me is to run some errands out to some of the orphanage home which I do every month. The funds will be in form of Cashier check/Money orders, it will be sent over to you from one of my clients and i have some list to email you once you received the funds. You will make some arrangements by buying some stuff for the kids in the nearest store around you so you can mail them out. I will receive you more information on that. PLEASE FILL THE APPLICATION FORM BELOW: First Name : Middle Name: Last Name: Full road Address(not PO BOX) : City: State: Zip Code: Cell Phone Number: Home Phone Number: Email Address: Once I have received your application form, I will receive back to you with the task for next week.

Open Question: I need help with choosing courses?

I'm a sophomore in highschool, and we need to pick courses for our junior year. I'm afraid that the courses I pick will affect my chances of getting into a university/college or landing a job I'm interested in. For example, if I wanted to go into Life Sciences, I might not have the prerequisites needed. I know it's still early for me to be worrying about this, but I'm just worried that my decisions I need to make now might screw up what I might want to do later. So my question is: If for example, I graduate highschool with a concentration in math and no english background, but then decide at the last minute that I want to become a journalist, will that career field be totally blocked? Or will there be other opportunities for me to pursue that path? (This is hypothetical. I am awful at math xP I'm just trying to connect two seemingly unrelated subjects). Thank you, and your possess personal experiences are appreciated. :) --- Oh, and I'm currently studying in Ontario, Canada, if that makes a difference.

Open Question: What kind of jobs can I get in the environment?

I am looking ahead to university and I am really interested in getting a job in environmental sciences. Every time I search something, it ends up with argirculture or farming, which I DON'T WANT! I was hoping to work with renewable energy sources (solar power/wind/water energy etc.) and design things or monitor things...I'm not really sure. I know that I don't want to be working outside on a farm and I don't want to have to use alot of physics. Chemistry and biology are prefered. What nice of degrees should I be looking into (both undergraduate and graduate)? Where are the best universities in Canada I can go to obtain these degrees?

Open Question: How can we convince voters that everyone without health insurance is just a lazy bum?

....this will make it easier for every of us. If we can convince the average American boob that every single person without health insurance is either an illegal alien or some bum who refuses to do his share, we can win this battle. We need to cease stories of working people being dropped, people desperate and taking jobs without benefits, people who work difficult, but are denied coverage or priced twice their salary. This needs to be kept confidential. If we can convince the American people that these are every welfare cheats and illegals, we can keep the insurance system the way it is and continue to make more money off it. We've already done a good job of keeping Americans from finding out anything about health-care systems in nations such as Switzerland, Australia and Japan and Luxembourg and Taiwan because we've trained them to focus only on the two most defective ones, Britain and Canada, so that they never even bother to look at other systems. You have to adore the American people, so dumbed down in their educational system and their entertainment that they are the perfect dupes...they'll keep getting raped by us in the insurance racket and they'll still think that this is the best of every possible worlds. We've got it every below control. It's so easy to control a society composed of people who, for the most part, know absolutely nothing about the outside world and think that life is a nightmare in every country except their possess. God, I adore Americans, they're so profitable!!!!!! Universal health care. Why don't you survey and do research on Australians, citizens of Taiwan, Singapore, Norway, Switzerland and Japan and find out. Start with Australia, find out how many Aussies wish they had our system instead. Then go look at their per-capita income, highest taxation rate, standard of living, life expectancy, baby mortality rate, and percentage who want the universal health care system abolished. Start there, then go look at the other industrialized nations, that is other than Canada and Britain. We every know very well about the failures of those systems. Ask yourself also why we don't have a massive exodus of Western Europeans and Aussies migrating to the United States. They appear rather glad where they are, for the most part and know about the relax of the world, unlike many of the posters here.

Resolved Question: How old do you have to be to work at the CN Tower?

As you know, summer is quick approaching and many people, myself included, are starting to look for summer jobs. I used to know a person who had worked at the CN Tower and they told me that they really enjoyed it and so I think it would be a good idea for me to apply there. I HEARD from somebody else, and i'm not sure if this is true, that you have to be atleast 18 years old to work there. I am 17 (completing grade 11) and I do have work experience. I worked for the past two summers (and spring+fall) and have a lot of experience. The position I want to apply for is Seasonal Retail Sales Associate 2010. If anybody knows how old you have to be to apply for this position please let me know. I look forward to hearing from people who are currently employed there or have been in the past. Please do not answer if you have no idea what you are talking about. I don't want to know how old you THINK you have to be or how old you have to be to legally work in Canada, because I already know every of that. I am looking for a specific answer as to how old you have to be for this position. Thanks in advance! Oh, and if anybody has any other ideas for an interesting summer job in Toronto or the GTA, please let me know. Only if it's something different/interesting, I don't want to work at a movie theatre/shopping mall/quick food joint. Thanks! :) *My bad, the position is admissions.

Open Question: how french migrated to canada?

I'm doing a research project for my history class and my family moved from france to canada in the 1600's and then to the united states in the 1800's. I was wondering how they got there (canada) and then when they migrated to the USA what jobs they took, what they experienced, and what daily life was like. I can't seem to find anything. thanks.

Open Question: Is it easier to immigrate to US than to immigrate to Canada?

I was reading lots of articles on how "easy" it is to immigrate to Canada & live in that "paradise". But when I came across the Canadian Immigration Forum, I was shocked & my mouth dropped to look the experiences of the immigrants posted to the forum. The word "easy" turns out to be exactly the opposite after coming Canada. Some people have been waiting for 10 years to receive a job, they have even obtained the same qualifications from Canadian Universities, which they obtained from their countries, but to no avail. Some of them can't even receive back to their possess homelands as they have no money to afford it. This is what a guy has to say about Canadian Immigration Policy: - "Here is the whole point, immigrants in Canada didn't arrive forcefully. They were every lured by your Govt's super advertising to receive a "better" life in the land of paradise that is 'dying' for professional immigrants. What's the better life? Engineers flipping burgers or accountants mopping floor. If you believe the least in human right then be vocal against your possess Govt. Shah. Florida, USA." I saw lots of complains from immigrants to Canada in that forum. Most of them with high qualifications have ended up working at a store or mopping the floors. What I have arrive to know from these stories is that there's a strong discrimination working there in Canada. The favoritism / racism is still prevailing in Canada. No matter how well educated & how highly qualified you are from a foreign land, it means nothing to them because you have "NO CANADIAN EXPERIENCE". And when you go to entry level, you are labeled as "OVERQUALIFIED". What I read from the website of Canadian Immigration Department & what I read from the immigrants are SOOOO different. I have an aim to immigrate to either US or Canada in future. But what I came to know from the experiences of these immigrants TOTALLY discouraged me to immigrate to Canada. So US is the only choice left. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this was the same case with US & if there was the same discrimination working in US. If I obtain my degree from India [where I live], do I have to re-study those subjects in US & grab the same nice of degree to work there? Or will my certificates obtained from India be enough for them to let me work there? Is "getting a job in US" as difficult as "getting a job in Canada"? THANKS IN ADVANCE

Open Question: I need help choosing a career?

Here's the thing, I really adore life sciences, but I'm an average student (really good at bio, good at physics, ok at chem, and bad at math). But I also like computer science. This is something I excel at, and sets me apart from others, something I would be chosen over someone else for ie. a job. I'm currently in 1st year at the University of Guelph in Canada, and I took the general bio first year requirements with first year comp sci. requirements for a degree to look which I like better. I'm stuck between these two choices. - I adore biology, understanding life, I read about it in my spare time when I can, but I am an Average Joe and there seems to be way too many people in life sciences for the availability of jobs. - I like comp sci, and I'm good at it. But I lack motivation since nothing really interests me about it, unless it somehow ties in with the life sciences. Is there some type of career out there that can offer the best of both worlds? I've heard of bioinformatics. Anybody with experience in this? Any advice would be awesome.

Open Question: Jobs in epidemiology, virology, or parasitology?

These three things are my biggest intellectual passions. I'm currently in college for graphic design, and my GPA isn't great. Where could I go to college to receive a degree in any of the over? Furthermore, where could I receive a job working in any of these fields? I'll be moving to Canada soon, so anything in the Toronto area would be awesome.

Open Question: UAE person's violent behavior to the tb patients ? and the worst conclusions of their doctors?

I am here to give request to the UAE persons and to understand the things and sufferings of the new comers to UAE only due to medical test. I had a very bad experience from UAE. Last year i gone UAE with a job visa.Before going there i took medical tests from my home country for my belief to ensure my health condition.In this result there was no problem. But when i took medical test from UAE they didn't say nothing and one day they prepared a paper and told my sponser that i had tb and have to be deported. After came back from UAE i had gone to look a tb expert in my home country and say every the things to him.He tested every the things and after examining my new test results he told me i have no infection of tb. I was surprised because according to the govt.hospital report of UAE says i have tb .but i dont know the actual report because they didn't give any report to the infected person or the sponser. I was in a big trouble which one is the real report ? report from UAE or from the tb experts from my home country ? The tb expert has more than 20 years experience and he practiced in USA and Canada also. after this i go to another specialist his report also says no infection of tb. Who was the wrong the UAE persons or the tb specialists from my home country ???? What a visa applicant can do other than these ????? Who losts time,money and future ??? I appriciate the Medical ministry of UAE to their examination to control the infections but have to confirm he/she has the infections in real or not When i go to cancel the visa and gone for taking retina scan the people in these authorities rudely behaves to me ? They treated me as a culprit ? Is it good ? They don't know the basic knowledge that every the persons can't spread the tb infection and it only got from the regular contact with the infected person. And the thing is even in many conditions the diseases they got is not due to their possess mistakes.The govt.employees work on the over mentioned sections have to think these things also.If any person on these depatment got tb they treated like this which as on the expatriates ???? Many persons coming to UAE and other countries by lending their properties also.If they had infection the UAE government can give a chance to the patients to cure according the ministry of UAE's scale of diagnosis from their home country and arrive back after curing instead of deportation. And It is a bad habit from UAE that writing something on the deported person's passport as a black mark which affects their future travel even the tuberculosis is a curable disease. I am expecting every of your opinion. Thanking You every For the info to Angie One is before arriving UAE and twice after my deportation. In my country i had gone to the tb middle to check after my deportation. But they found nothing.They took x-ray , sputum test ,blood test etc and due to my compel took mantoux test also. what use !!!!!!!!!!!! You tell me what are the exact tests for tb diagnosis in international standards and what are the scales . For the info to H Mistakes may happen but not be irresponsible, I agree. But who losts ??? How can i request ......... those people, the doctors or the nurses say nothing and didn't ask anything they are working like machines. Me and my sponsor asked manytimes instead of saying anything they gave me the papers of deportation and the people in the visa office and man who took my retina scan uses absurd words and he scolding without reasons.What can i do ? How can i request for a second check up to these guys ??? i experienced it and i saw many experiencing in front of me. Tell me how the marking(something wrote in arabic) in my passport affect to my future travel to other middle east countries or other european & american countries.

Open Question: I lost the love of my life. Please please help.?

Last year, I went out with a girl for a year, who I was friends with for many years before. She was perfect 0 She was absolutely breathtakingly stunning, smart (she was a doctor), was the kindest most warm hearted person I've ever met in my life. every the guys crushed on her so you can imagine how glad I was when we started going out. The year I spent with her was the happiest year of my life and and there was not one single thing wrong with her - she was like a goddess. When I was younger, my parents neglected me and I had a very unhappy upbringing, but she was the first person in my life that believed in me and truly loved me and gave me confidence I never had before. But then I started a new job and sat beside another lady. My girlfriend went away to visit her mom for a month in Canada, and while she was away I started to develop feelings for my coworker. She was nowhere close as perfect as my girlfriend I just seemed to go with her since my girlfriend was away, and I suppose out of sight. I dont know what was going through my mind. Before my girlfriend returned, i did the most stupid thing of my life. i packed up and eloped with my co worker to a different state, got a new phone number, new job and clip off every contact with my the girlfriend returning from canada and got my boss to tell her that i'd met someone else. i was too much of a coward to do it myself. me and my coworker soon feel apart and ive had a string of girlfriend since then, none of which have came anywhere close as perfect as my old girlfriend. i think about her everyday. she was the adore of my life though i met her my old girlfriend) in a cafe yesterday when i was back home filling in some paperwork. she was nice and loving as usual and i told her that i know i was a jerk to her but i wanted to talk to her and explain the story. she me that i could always talk to her but since she had to receive back to work, she gave me a phone number to call her on that night. she also told me to phone before 11 because she was going out (with her new boyfriend) anyway, i never called. i dont know why. i guess i was just too much of a coward. please help. what should i do? ive well and truly screwed up 2 hours ago - 4 days left to answer.

Open Question: Do You Think America Is Really The Greatest Country In The World?

I don't think so! Canada, and tons of European are a lot better then us! I dont even know how one country can call themsleves the greatest! You dont here other countries like England or France calling themselves the greatest! You can't say that about yourself! Anyways, we're not the greatest! America doesnt have payed vacation like most European countries! In France you can sit 2 years without a job if you receive fired, and they still pay you the same amount you would make at your job, so you don't even have to look for a job! We have no health care, no payed vacation, we can't even exercise our free speech! In Europe, you would never receive in trouble for free speech, or saying something bad about the president! And Europeans don't sue eachother over the smallest things! Let's face it! America sucks! Europe is much better!
