Glad we agree. You couldn't find a single source, and admit you were making up stuff.
Instead, you decided to post a bunch of random rankings on "social progress" and other nonsense, as if that has anything to do with what we're talking about. No doubt professionals are weighing where to live based on "social progress" and not jobs, where their kids will attend school, amenities and housing.
Fact- U.S. is richer than Canada. Fact- Far more Canadians move to U.S. than vice versa.
If you want to start a separate thread on who has the most "social progress" and "human development", and the vast global appeal of Iceland, please do so. But this thread has reached a consensus. Professionals prefer the U.S.

We were talking about QOL here, now that I have brought links showing that Canada trashes the US in every single ranking you want to start changing the subject.
It's like talking to a stubborn kid who can't simply admit when he is wrong and has been embarrassed.
You might as well be posting in another language, lost any reason for me to even engage with you anymore.
You Canadians that have all these opinions about my country yet come down and clog South Florida worse than it already is every winter.
What a complete joke.
Mod cut. You have trouble merely distinguishing between the two very disparate 'Quality of Life' and ' attainment of wealth ' aspects of living.
All surveys give you the denominators used to qualify the measurement of QOL but you cannot seem to address those and come back each and every time with childish stuff like "I own three cars" .
You are not representative of all of those millions of your confreres living either in poverty, more than Canada's entire pop. or EXTREME poverty.
You are not representative of those millions making a decision to crap shoot on their health insurance and go without because they cannot afford that and also pay for their kids lunches.
You're ignoring the numbers of deaths in your country due to lack of affordable pre-emptive healthcare.
You're ignoring the numbers of violent deaths occurring in your country.
You're ignoring the numbers of mothers now sending their kids to school wearing armoured back-packs.
You're ignoring the now routine lock down exercises being held in your schools.
Here let me try to mitigate your seemingly incapacity to understand not everyone shives a git about owning cars they do not need or want:
8+1 dimensions of quality of life
Material living conditions (income, consumption and material conditions)
Productive or main activity.
Health.
Education.
Leisure and social interactions.
Economic security and physical safety.
Governance and basic rights.
Natural and living environment.
Life Expectancy.
Only one of the prime indicators of QOL is associated with wealth.
All of those things and many more are considered by the independent agencies measuring countries QOL stats and on those scores along with a host of other Country comparison scores such as happiness, a variety of freedoms from individual through to freedom of the press, the U.S. scores lower than Canada and a host of other countries, but: CANADA is the only country you're choosing to beatch about.
You Americans who've been brought up on a diet of Canada being a 'socialist frozen tundra' dependent in all respects on the largesse of America and use every opportunity to belabour us with that nonsense in these boards are the ones we're engaging ….. NOT your country as a whole.
For every like minded American to yourself, there are thousands more intelligent, rational Americans who fully understand the difference between broad spectrum QOL measurements and the collection of financed toys in their driveways.

Reason: Personal attack.

No, you showed no such links. This thread is "Why Do So Many More Canadians Move To America Than Americans Move To Canada?" That question has been answered.

Glad you've come to your senses, and we finally agree. Feel free to start a separate social progress thread, and you can add all your theories on why doctors in the U.S. need to move to Greenland.
You're ignoring the now routine lock down exercises being held in your schools.
Do you think Canadian schools don't have lockdown drills? Most schools have been performing such for many years. You seem to be trapped in a false "Canada is perfect and always peaceful" bubble.

I have kids and know parents with kids in Public schools, none have been practicing lockdown drills. Canada is not always peaceful but it sure is more so than the much of the US. The US is the only country in the developed world that had 3 of its urban centres rank among the most dangerous in the world along with cities in counties like Brazil and Venezuela. If you guys want Canadians to recognize that the US is wealthier, which it most certainly is, then it must also be accepted Canada has less social problems and violence. Say what you want but there is no way around it.
Well I understand your confusion as English certainly isn't your forte. You have trouble merely distinguishing between the two very disparate 'Quality of Life' and ' attainment of wealth ' aspects of living.

Blah blah blah, I'm not listening to yet another Canadian snowbird that bashes the US yet lives here half of their life.
So why do you care about innovations not "coming out" of Canada? Why should Canada produce and release innovations for people in other countries to copy, take credit for and get rich on when Canada is not obligated to produce anything for anyone except perhaps for its own people? Why shouldn't Canada keep some of its innovations for itself alone and nobody else? It doesn't owe anything to others.

I thought it was the USA that was so greedy and selfish?
I have kids and know parents with kids in Public schools, none have been practicing lockdown drills.
You are mistaken. I coincidentally happen to have asked recently on a different forum about which "safety drills" schools perform, and the Canadian respondents all mentioned lockdown drills.
Canadian provinces, through the 2000s, began updating and revising their respective “safe schools” policies. Upon implementation, most provinces had now introduced new “lockdown” and “hold-and-secure” procedures.
If you peruse the article, which is interesting and in many ways relevant to the US as well as Canada, be sure to get to p. 138, which details some of the social problems in Canada. Canada has social problems and violence, although, to read some of the comments on this thread, one would be left with the impression that everything in Canada is sunshine and roses just because it's not as bad as the US.

I think this is one of the most bizarre comments I’ve read here in a long time. You want us to believe you have personal knowledge that UrbanLuis’s kids and the kids of his acquaintances are practicing lockdowns drills and are keeping that knowledge a secret from their parents?
