The irony here is Canada has far less religious zealots and in my opinion the country as a whole is a much more live and let live society.
Agreed and the US is much more of a religious cesspool that factors in to politics way more than it should for a country that has "strict separation of church and state". His / her comment regarding that being one of his / her 'pro Canada' bullet points is ridiculous.
Unfortunate that a couple members felt the need to show up to this conversation looking to sling mud. So vain. We each love our own countries for our own reasons, but that doesn't give a green light to mock and slander the other, particularly in the low scale and fashion that's been displayed.
Guess that's why Canadian people are loved (and accepted) the world over, and so for that I'm proud to be Canadian, and would never consider giving up living in the safety and wonders of our land.
Had the poll provided a third option, that being the UK, I'd choose the UK, however, things in Canada would have to be grave and dire before I'd consider such a move.
It's funny how deeply the US misunderstands Canada. Oh wait sorry I meant it's really freaking annoying.
Canada would do just fine without our help. We are talking about a nation that is very similar in size and international importance to Australia.
Canada also has a higher QOL than the US according to most studies, and its residents are found to be happier on average. There's nothing wrong with preferring a US city, but to imply that Canada has nothing going for it in a topic about long-term living is silly.

It's not that we think Canada has nothing going for it, but there's so much more diversity in the US. Rather it's Cities to live, Climates, Landscapes, Cultures, etc there is just simply more of that in the US.

I agree, its also annoying on the flip side as well. Canadians think they understand the US but they have very little knowledge, outside of those who have lived in the country. Both sides are painfully ignorant.
Comparisons between entire countries as large and diverse as these two are ridiculous as well. The only reason I chose the US is because there are more cities I would live in as compared to Canada (Obviously its the more populous country) But that does not mean there are not some Canadian cities I would choose to move to over certain US cities. The country where they are located are completely inconsequential to me, outside of Federal Income tax rates and things of that nature.
