And this thread is pretty much proof that Canadians are incapable of objectively evaluating what living in the United States is actually like. All the benefits are immediately dismissed and the conversation always shifts back to healthcare.
That would be incorrect. I lived in the US, so I know exactly what it's like.
I wouldn't move back for all the tea in China, and I really like tea.
I didn't like the crime, the violence, the gangs, the gun culture, the nightly drive-bys, the healthcare, the political divisiveness, the evangelical influence, the bars on the windows, the racism, the denigration of the LGBT community, the far right, the culture of fear....
Let me catch my breath.

I don't like some of those things either but i was asking "whats it like"?
I personally think that majority of Vancouverites are pretty happy to live in Vancouver and would stay in Vancouver even if given the choice to move to Seattle.
In my experience I beg to differ, if you give them the opportunity of a real green card not a TN Visa....and so far the results of your poll kinda of prove my point....

Vancouver is more livable than Seattle, has better recreation opportunities
Care to mention why Van has better "recreation opportunities"?? I can tell you and explain point by point why it is exactly the opposite....

amazing waterfront development accessible to all residents
How Seattle waterfront are not accessible to all residents?? I think overall the Puget Sound has more waterfront than Van...
Quote:
great urban planning a
With a road system that is a joke...
Quote:
perfect mix of natural and urban living.
And how Seattle is different in this regard??
Quote:
I visited and stayed in Seattle many times and it doesn't feel to me like a potential magnet for dissapointed with their lives Vancouverites who are "stuck" in Van just waiting for the oppotunity to move to Seattle.
Oh really?? Care to investigate how many Vancouverites work for Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Boeing or Starbucks??
Quote:
Vancouver is a much more livable place than Seattle,
Again, you have to elaborate what you mean by "more liveable"...besides cost of living.
Quote:
I also think that if Seattleites were given the choice, many of them would move to Vancouver.
Some may tell you that if they do not really know Vancouver...that city is very deceiving....
Someone intrugued by Van ask me about it...after I explained they said "No way Jose"....

...please catch your breath and mention something that is not stereotypical...because that so far is a collection of tired cliche'...
