What you forgot to mention was: Very few opportunities compared to the US, only 3-4 cities, very high taxes. And that prized "welfare" program that you boasted about, does not even compare with the American one, because America actually provides for seniors who immigrate here, whereas Canada does not. That's why, for families with elderly parents, Canada is not an option. It's only an attractive for young people with no commitments to elderly relatives.

Im not quite sure what you mean by very few oppurtunities?
And we don't have very high taxes. It's true that America has lower taxes but a huge amount of the tax breaks go to very rich people which doesn't seem very reasonable. People who can afford to pay a lot of taxes should, and they have no right to complain about it. I think you'll find that comparing here and there poor people probably pay a similar rate between the two and rich people probably pay a lot less there. Do you think that is any better?
Im not an expert on Canada, or America's welfare systems but anyone who is a citizen here would be entitled to it, I assume it is the same there. And you also have some very restrictive policies about who can recieve welfare, and people are given more here.
I would like to restate that I dont think Canada is by any means great, but I do think the Unites States is awful, especially considering the resources you have.
