They have a better standard of living for their population overall. They have less crime, less racism, less ignorance, less poverty, less political divide, less guns, less pollution... and on top of that they have an excellent public education system (Canada is one of the most educated societies in the world), a universal health care system that covers everyone both rich and poor, and a sound economy.
Canadian cities consistently rank as the cleanest and the most livable in the world with Toronto, Ontario; Calgary, Alberta; and Vancouver, British Columbia routinely taking the top spot. If I get the chance to move to Canada I'll do it in a heartbeat. It's a perfect place to live if you ask me. I'll leave America to the teabaggers. I won't wait until they turn us into a Third World Country.

You realize that the government in Canada is Conservative, the Canadian Tories are no different than the GOP, and that PM Harper is an anti-environmentalist Bible-thumping right winger? He got re-elected because Canada is in better shape economically than the US.

Being conservative in Canada is more like being a U.S. Democrat.. that's how liberal their society is. Conservatism in Canada or in places like the UK doesn't come anywhere close to American style right wing conservatism.

Not anymore. You're thinking of 30 years ago in the days of Joe Clark.
Harper is politically somewhere in between Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich - does that sound like "being a U.S. Democrat" and "not coming anywhere close to American style right wing conservatism"?
Canada is more conservative than you think. Especially Alberta where there are even teabaggers, creationist museums, and fundies all over the place.
The current UK Tory party is more moderate than the Canadian Tories or the GOP, however.

If Canada is so conservative, where is the outcry to switch to the American system of healthcare delivery?

You're wrong, Harper is closer to a Clinton than anything else. He is more of an economic conservative but he is socially liberal.
Canada simply doesn't have the same history that America does. However, I completely disagree with the idea that Canada doesn't have its own fair share of institutionalized racism. It has a very large share of it; it's just that America's share by comparison is to Canada's what America's GDP is to Canada's. The difference is that America is a larger, more diverse country with larger-scale problems.
It's tough to want to 'make anything' of your self and make serous money there, as the taxes are just ridiculous. GST and all the other VATs too for anything imported from even the US.
And since everyone goes to school for free, everyone has a masters, and if you don't, you are stuck flipping burgers with your worthless bachelors.

Harper socially liberal? LOL!
I wouldn't refer to an anti-environmentalist, pro-life, anti-gay rights, anti-pot legalization, "tough on crime" Bible thumper like Harper as "socially liberal". He's sane, but he's definitely a social conservative.
The only place you'll find an answer to that is in a mirror.
