        No as a canadian my impression of australia is that it’s just canada with the same problems but worse

        Have many close friends there and it’s been tough in recent years

        I’ve always looked at Australia as the baby brother behind USA 😂 Canada is the middle child. We should just all be States United 💪💪

          This may be the most American thing I’ve ever read. The ego that must be present for someone to think that the U.S. is more mature or a country to look up to is ridiculous.

            But but but we’re the greatest country in the world? The whole world looks up to us! Every single person on this planet would sacrifice their first born to get a chance to live in this beautiful land! Last night I read a story on the interweebs about europoors dying in the Atlantic Ocean on rafts trying to escape socialism and come to murica! Imagine that, and the young illegals here in the beautiful country would vote for these socialists now, IT’S INAMERICAN! Anyway don’t forget to vote for America this November! Gobbless

              Some 35 years ago my 3rd grade teacher explained to us little Aussie battlers… That through history we have usually had a chance to observe what hasn’t worked in the US and improve our own implementation.

                  Certainly not always.

                  I think what that teacher was really getting at is things like electrical standards, phone networks, things like that.

                    And mandatory voting, and preferential voting, an independent electoral commission…
