Where would you rather live - in Canada or United States? (good schools, earthquakes)

Where I live, we had nearly 3 weeks of great weather for April.

Beside that....It's called WINTER!!! Get over it. We have four seasons. No different than places like Michigan, Ohio, PA, NY, the Dakota's, Minnesota, etc.
Sure the temperatures "suck" in Winter, if you don't enjoy winter sports that is. The last time I checked, there are 12 months in the year, and not everyone of them "suck". It also depends where you live in the country. The prairies have very cold winters, Eastern Canada gets lots of snow, B.C., particularly Vancouver barely see's temps below freezing during the winter months. Southern Ontario has fairly mild winters as a whole. Your just complaining because we had one of our worst winters in like 2 decades.

Have you ever been to Arizona in July?? 110 F for starters. Sorry, I'll take my 85 F (28-30 Celsius) for that time of year, thank you very much. However, it is great to visit there in March.

What you don't seem to realize is that "some" Americans still have this vision of driving through the border in a month like June and expecting to see snow.

indeed the Northern Tier of the US experiences harsh cold climates as well- it's not only a Canadian distinction. And so the American weatherpeople should stop blaming the "Cold Canadian Air" for the spells when the weather gets chilly.
I think Galloway needs to move out of Canada if he's so pissed about the weather.

And describe "everything"

The US has better weather, more beautiful nature, cooler culture, not as politically correct and so on.. It feels like nothing is happening in Canada, and I'm not really interested in canadian history and culture.

Better weather...certain states. More beatiful nature...You've never been to B.C., the Canadian Rockies, Muskoko's in Ontario, Eastern Canada's ocean playground. Politically correct....both the same if not worse in the states. Nothing happening in Canada.....your not looking and what is exactly going on the U.S.?

Not interested in Canadian culture and history.....pick up a book and learn something and you might be surprised.

Most of the weather everywhere in the US and Canada is not all that great at all.
No way more beautiful nature. Many US nature parks rated poorly compared to Canadian nature parks for conservation. Cooler culture? I grew up in Los Angeles in the 60s and 70s and the culture in Montreal seemed much better than the nut jobs I started to see in California. Canada has it's faults Like the US too. A lot of great fantastic talent went down to the US to make it big time but got their start here in Canada. The US is great for that but as an average person I sure am grateful to be in Canada. I love the cold too. The weather in Montreal is just dandy this April and May. Loving it.

I've lived in Canada for 25 years (born and raised) and I've been thinking bout the same dilemma. Montreal is definately the place to be if you love clubbing and night life; with a strip joint at every block in the downtown area, it's not uncommon to find the group of out of town just-turned-18 year olds roaming the streets of Montreal screaming at the top of their lungs how great Montreal is lol. Oh and also, if you're one of those people that love both extremes of weather, Montreal def got it; 37 degrees Celcius weather in July and -40 degrees Celcius in January. I am one of those people that never got used to the cold and would love to live somwhere where the sun shines all the time; surf, sand and beach. I went to Hawaii for 2 weeks in April and just got back from Maine where i stayed with my best friend for a week, and I must say that the people were soo friendly, I definately would love to live in such a friendly society. Maybe its cause I'm living near a big city, but most people here are look-out-for-myself-only types and not much of a community feeling here. Not to mention the whole language barrier. Not everyone is like this of course, there are obviously really cool people here too, I just would love to live in a place where a**hole type people are a minimum. The only thing that sucks about moving to the states is losing the cushy healthcare system here, oh and cheap education. But regardless, I must say I would rather live in the states, on the Big Island of Hawaii or Florida, Maine or California maybe. Anyone ever moved from Canada to States? How's the adaptation and the process of becoming American citizen? how long does it take?

[nitokenshi]

neither there basically they same country

[w1ngzer0]

neither. I rather live in Australia.

I've never had first hand experience with the country, but i deal people from there over the phones. Very polite and honest people. Kiwi's on the other hand... j/k

[texdav]

Frankly everytime I travel;I am always glad to get home.In the end I guess it is hard to get use to other countries really.I am sure most people in other countries with exceptions also feel the same.Heck;I am glad to get home from many other states .

I love to visit Canada but would rather live in the USA, Both are great countrys and both have pos's and neg's.
