Listen To This: Hot Sweaty Boys Make Hot Sweaty Music

Canada is great - not just because they have universal healthcare, which we think is very important - but also because they have some really great music.

The Mission District is one of our favorite new Canadian bands.

From Montreal, their music sounds like a beautiful hybrid of California and British pop rock. There's influences of Blink 182 and The Cure.

Enjoy The Age of Pretending below. Then CLICK HERE to listen to more songs from The Mission District.

Canada rules!

      Oh Perez, I feel so enlightened when I read your political views…

      Puhhhhhlease, the only reason you think universal healthcare is so important is because you can not qualify for any insurance given your lifestyle.

      Was it not you who wrote on your website about the women who was not given a Visa due to her weight ?? That my friend is universal healthcare!!

      Dumbass!!

      so what percentage of their income do canadians pay as taxes? pretty sure that healthcare up there is NOT free.

      oh sweet meat, i think you'd better do some research on this universal healthcare shit. not good at all. nothing like waiting 6-9 months to have bypass surgery, or waiting 9-12 months for hip replacement. now i'm not saying that our's doesn't need an overhaul, but the universal stuff will NEVER go over here!

      23

      Sure, universal healthcare sounds great, until you need surgery for your severely broken leg. Well, it takes a few months for you to get that surgery (months of pain), and by that time your leg has heeled deformed. Yea for universal healthcare!

    24. jen says – reply to this


      24

      Like the band. And seriously, Perez, from a Canadian now in America, the Canadian healthcare system is just as bad as yours. Just because it's free doesn't mean it's good. And often times, people never get treated at all. Healthcare for all is important, but you cannot pretend the Canadian system is wonderful. It isn't.

      As a Canadian, I love knowing that I can get sick and not go bankrupt. And that my fellow Canadians can also experience the same debt-free safety.

      If it means waiting a little longer for a non-life threatening procedure, so that my neighbors can receive health care, then that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

      Re: Angel

      If you need surgery on a "severely broken leg" you get it right away.. Canadian doctors aren't douchebags like American doctors who are so greedy that they wouldn't fix your "severely broken leg" for less than $100,000.

      While I love being Canadian and I'm glad we have healthcare (I could never afford a doctor for anything otherwise… no prescription antibiotics for me without it), I agree it's definately not the best. France. That's what we should all strive for. Best healthcare in the world. Sorry to The Mission District that this thread has turned into a healthcare debate. Really enjoyed the song.

      It's cool that you like canada and all but don't give the healthcare program as a plus side. At least you guys don't wait. 3 months ago, I broke a vertebrate in my back. A friend drove me to the hospital I was in so much pain. Once I got there they said to go at another hospital which is about 25 minutes away. They ”apparently” did'nt have any power for the x-ray machine. After fainting twice on my way to the other one, I waited 6 hours on a bed loosing and regaining consciousness. Once I finally went through, it took 10 minutes for morphine to be plugged in and x-raystaken.

      Say that Canada is a nice country because of the scenery but leave health out.

      Re: 51st State

      #52, the 51st State:

      YOU are a fucking idiot. Not only is Canada more culturally diverse and socially minded than the U.S (making it the much more happening 'nightclub', in keeping with your terrible analogy) but it is also larger than the U.S. This means that you need to account for America being the shitty basement apartment under the badass mansion that is Canada.

      Now, population wise, you win. But who WANTS to compete over the most people? That's like saying "our country's better, because if we were a club we'd have more sweaty b.o smelling motherfuckers filling the room than Canada! woot!"

      Now tell me: would you rather be in the nice, atmospheric pub, or the sweaty b.o filled club where you can't move around for all the mofos crowding you?

      Bite us.

      Re: Amy – WTF? Who the fuck are you? We weren't being rude to Mark Hoppus AT ALL. he was a condescending douche to us and his wife is vile. he thinks he's still relevant and important when he's a washed up has-been!!! He needs to be nicer to his fans. He can use all the support he can get. i liked blink 182 too but now i see why Tom left Mark's bullshit!! Mark has been mooching off Tom and Travis for years. Don't try to tell ME about the industry, I've met lots of other people and YES ive met the barkers too and Travis Barker and Shanna are MUCH nicer than Mark and his wife. It's his hot topic ridden fans that are total pricks and prickettes too which i'm sure you're one of them, Amy. so dont tell ME how we acted in front of that jerk because you dont know shit and you weren't there, I WAS. just accept the fact that your hero is a douche. perez even called him out for cheating on his cow!! i mean WIFE.

      To those without universal healthcare and have not experienced it:

      if you are in severe need of attention, you don't wait 6-9 months. That's why there is the ER! It's not perfect, but at least we don't break the bank and worry (as much) about what getting sick might do to our finances.
