Although the US may have more to offer in terms of all of the criteria of the topic, Canadians have a much better quality of life than us Americans. In every study done, of the happiness and healthiness of its citizens, life expectency, etc., Canada ranks much higher than the US.
Actually, in terms of health and clean living, Canada is #1 in the Western Hemisphere. The only thing the US is still #1 in is military size / spending and total GDP.
That's because the US is obsessed with money. Corporate America only cares about the bottom line and it's citizens only care about making (or taking) enough to buy fancy things while the government does what it can to make sure that happens. People here stress too much about wealth and power. There's more to life than that and I think Canadians are more in touch with their humanity.
The stats used here are for sexual assaults and not just rape. Now a sexual assault can range from anything thing from a unwanted touch to rape, therefore the numbers are inflated.

Yes, but surely they are inflated for every country, so if one country is higher here, they'll be higher?

Not necessarily because other countries may count rapes separately from other forms of sexual assault. In Canada everything is lumped together . We don't know the actual rape stat for Canada, it still could be higher than the US, it may be lower. We just don't know. If the US lumps everything to together also, then yes Canada does have a higher incident rate.

Apparently you are mistaken Bruce. The numbers can only be inflated for Canada, not the U.S..
