Can I ask what the obsession on these boards is with comparing Australia and Canada in these pathetic polls?
Err...CD seems to be all about these comparisons. As well as the plethora of bizarre threads like "which Asian people have the most slanty eyes?" and "who are the most white Europeans?". It's all very strange most of the time.

Overall - if you live in either of these 2 countries consider yourself very lucky!
Agreed. I'm kind of sick of seeing them pitted against one another all the time here, because they are both as incredible as one another, but for different reasons. Geographically and aesthetically speaking, Canada is more like New Zealand than Australia.

Overall beauty:Canada
Location: Canada
Climate: Canada (I have to have 4 seasons with snow)
Quality of life: Probably a tie

Entertainment/Things to do: Canada (larger variety of cities, and much closer to the EU/US)

History: Both suck equally
Overall beauty: Canada (hard to beat Vancouver/BC, and Banff)
Both great countries, but if I had to choose, Canada would win, hands down.
Four seasons? Most of Canada doesn't get a real summer.
Most of Australia doesn't get a real winter.

And I heard that all Canadians over 5 are issued with a wooden club to use against poor helpless harp seal pups who wander into town....
