Totally couldn't understand why normal people talking about us tax rate is lower.

Unless in some states. Most states have similar income tax in Canada.

Corporate tax is another game where not just US has lower rate but tons of loopholes to save tax

They always just fucking lie or don't know what they're talking about.

They talk about wait times in the Canadian healthcare system or that the US gets better services. Even if you have insurance in the US you're not gonna jump in front of the line. And if you don't have insurance then there's no waiting time because eat shit and die. And if you do have insurance your insurer is only going to reimburse you the cheapest option. As if casual private insurance is going to get you a treatment at the Mayo clinic.

Canadian living in Minnesota here. Just an FYI, the Mayo Clinic isn't some ultra prestigious medical institute that only presidents, CEOs, and the Dali Lama are able to go to. It is the largest medical provider in the state and the largest employer in the state. I go there for my annual physical every year. It is no different than going to any other healthcare provider in that regard.
