Americans are often told by the left in America that life is so much better in Canada: free health care, housing, education, college. Canada is thrown in Americans' faces as an example of what we could be if only we were more kind and left-wing … but is it true?

SPONSOR: American Financing

Fast food stops with the family have gotten out of control, and keeping up with household expenses gets harder every month. If you are a homeowner carrying high-interest credit card debt, American Financing can offer mortgage rates in the 5s so you can use your equity to wipe out that debt, with no upfront fees and no pressure. Homeowners save an average of $800 a month, and starting now could mean delaying up to two mortgage payments.

NMLS 182334, nmlsconsumeraccess.org. APR for rates in the 5s start at 6.327% for well qualified borrowers. Call 866-886-2026 for details about credit costs and terms. Average savings based on borrowers who save over $199.99.

SPONSOR: Live Action

This fall, Live Action has set a goal to help save 300 babies from abortion by reaching women considering abortion before they make that decision. About 1 in 5 women who see Live Action's content say it changes their mind, and on their $44.86 cost-per-life model, $44.86 can help save 1 baby, about $90 can help save 2, and $1,000 can help save 22. Live Action is also leading the push to defund Planned Parenthood.
