Why don't Canadians like the "iphone4" it's such an awesome tech gadget?

Okay, I'm getting frustrated... I'll keep this short and sweet

Canada has more land resources than the U.S., and plenty of space to build wireless towers in their country, and yet they pollute more per-capita than ANY iphone user possibly can with that little tiny piece of metal... because:

a. Canadians under this endless Conservative rule of Stephen Harper, have done ZILCH to protect the environment. Alberta Province may be the biggest polluters per capita in the world if not Texas.

b. Lets not forget the harp seal hunt, the mass slaughtering of seals for seal skin and fur.....which simply for show and nothing else..... cannot possibly be more valuable than an Iphone...which can connect all your friends together and videos and photos and music the world over! It's REALLY sad, CANADA, you know this!

c. Lets talk about the lack of windmills and wind turbines in Canada that COULD be used with all the space that's there to save Canada enough electicity or even to generate 100000 computers.... but they DON'T THEY DON'T
It's time for a change in Canada, you all know it....Harper is messing you guys up...... When a coldfront glides through the prairies..... you betcha it gets WINDY!!!! and you can USE That energy to power wireless all over Canada.... no wind turbines...unbelievable


So that is what the situation on the ground in Canada. Now, as a country sharing a Northern border with the superpower U.S., you would think things would be different. You'd think BEFORE a tool as neat as the Iphone gets to the UK or all over Europe...... Canada would JUMP for it first...... again, unbelievable!

So why Canada so in lack of demand? Like when any gadget is sold up north, people let one competitor rip everyone off instead of trying to fight for lower prices, for cheaper wireless.... do you realize what it took to get that Alaska highway built? If not for a World War II, you wouldn't even have built THAT highway.

It puzzles me. What keeps Canadians from liking all this cool stuff?

Because people in Canada don't feel the social need/pressure to buy a gadget just because it exists. Perhaps that is one of the reasons our economy is much better off then that of the US.

Other then that, and to the rest of your question...yawn!!!!
