I have to learn romanian and take exams from it... Now that should sound natural, but the fact is that i'm part of the hungarian minority (since Transilvania once belonged to Hungary, so now many hungarian ppl live in Romania). Ofc you have to know the language of your country but taking exactly the same exams as the romanian romanians do (god, i hate english for this, how do you say this to sound better?), even though we learn it as a foreign language. That's a disadvantage beacause these exams count a lot even if you want to go for a hungarian university here in Romania (yeap, we have university). For high-school graduation we have 8 exams. 2 from hungarian and 2 from romanian (oral+written) and 4 more (one of them is history/geography in romaninan). Now not-hungarian romanians have less, only 6, from witch 2 is romanian their native language so they dont have to prepare that much for that. Most of my classmates speak english better than romanian, so you can imagine how hard is for some of them to take the exams.

The Labour party
We get walked all over Internationally because our Government is weak.
No National spirit, no-one really seems to care.
Drinking/drug taking culture... goes a little over the top.
Tabloids, glamour mags are all fucking disgraceful.
Education system
that's strange, i heard that people dont really like the weather cuz it changes a lot and its too wet.
And there is a stereotype about english humour being bad.
I tought the English government is one ofthe most influencial of europe (i'm not too infromed about politics).
And about national spirit. I cant believe that is true. The public is supporting the national team everywhere with insane passion, with flags, painted faces and everything. Underwears with the UK flags, you don't see this kind of stuff in most of European countrys. I tought English people are some of the most patriotic nation

Yeah but it's made up for with higher wages.
And while technically it's not free, the taxes you pay towards these are very small in comparison to the money you pay to have private medical care or to send your kids to a private school.

The weather isn't that bad because it never gets to ridiculously cold temperatures, it rarely snows and there's nothing extreme like hurricanes. The worst that can happen is that it will rain and be a bit windy, other than that during the summer the weather is mostly pleasant.

Your pattern you think you are seeing is generally completely wrong. Countries with small populations are able to support healthcare and education like that.
Their crap is horribly expensive because smaller countries don't really produce their own stuff, they have to import a whole lot more of it than say the US does. Yes, the US does have low tax rates compared to most of the rest of the industrialized world we also have the highest debt per capita in comparison... by a huge margin.
Your conservative viewpoint is wonderful and all but it's completely misguided in this case.

yeah, i heard stories about that too. Though i'm not worried for myself too much, i speak quite well and learn very easely, i just find the system lacking.
And Romania is formed by 3 major regions, one of which is Transylvania, once part of Hungary, than independent, than part of austro-hungary, now part of Romania. Back than, few decades ago, it was a very diverse region, over 1 million hungarian, 1 million german and around 1million jews lived here, with the romanian majority. Also an intresting fact is that religious freedom was accepted for the first time in Transyilvania. (in 1568)
Sorry for the misunderstanding

I can't do one about Canada, the country is just too damn big, what may be true in one area is wrong in another. Actually, I'm amazed anyone can generalize an entire country, unless they're very tiny and homogenous.
EDIT:
I think lesser_good is going about this topic better by doing one about a province instead of an entire country. But even then, it's hard to generalize all of a province, Montreal city is CRAZY different from the rest of the province.
