Exactly right...as a European Canada in the end offered no particular appeal....North America for North America I would rather go "all the way" so to speak.....
Unless you married a canadian....but in the end you married an american
and are living happily everafter in the USA, good for you
Australia is undoubtedly an enticing relocation destination for Americans, but Canada does offer proximity to family and friends (and "things American" more broadly) for people for whom that is important.
It is fair to say outside lower British Columbia, Canada has frigid and unbearably LONG winter (so long that spring often arrives in May).
On the bright side, summer is pleasant and not too hot almost everywhere.
Parts of the US are like that and no, not just near the Canadian border. In Wyoming, the snow often isn't gone until May and it can snow there any month of the year. The weather can change on a dime; warm and pleasant and a few hour later, snow.

Of course. And this is why Wyoming is the least populous state in the US, with a population (585k) smaller than that of the city of Seattle. The difference is, in the US, if you don't like Wyoming, you can move easily to a warmer region.

My point is that the type of weather you're talking about isn't a uniquely Canadian thing. I used Wy as one example. Another place that surprisingly cold is New Mexico.

Nobody said it is a unique thing to Canada. But it is pretty unique when the entire massive country (except a very small part) is all frigid and you have no better alternatives.

Surely it's not going to take another long discussion to establish what is already well known: that the US has more climate options than Canada, and that most of those are milder than anything Canada offers.
Difference is Scandinavia has excellent social services, walkable cities, and tons of culture that Canada lacks. In Canada unless you live in Montreal, Toronto, or Vancouver you're essentially living in a colder Nebraska
I always tell people that when they visit the U.S. for the first time, they should go to the oldest and most developed part of the country - the east coast. Start with New York City. That's the only way you can make a fair comparison with the best that other countries have to offer.
It makes no sense to compare a place like Paris, France to a place like Oklahoma City. That is not apples to apples, or anywhere close.
