You ever looked up to Canada to move from the U.S?

Well obviously because US has more people, so It's gonna attract more people regardless because people want to go where the work/money is..... It doesn't make it a better place.

The assumptions that Canadians have that Americans are living such fantastic lives just beause they have "lower taxes" really blows my mind.

Who are these people?

You can disagree with people all you want but don't make up random crap about our culture, you can live your life how you wish... you don't have to work work work and die and never go on vacation.

Lol.....no. I've been there several times and wasn't a fan. TBH I don't really like Canada. Except Quebec, they're cool.

But its not random its true
My working friends in SF pay 800 + a month to live in a living room.... despite these socalled "higher incomes" in America..
and my dad has cancer, he pays 3k + 1k a month for treatment and medicine. Luckily he has a big savings and is able to live somewhat comfortably. My mom struggles to afford the house and pay for BOTH me and my brother's health insurance which is around 700 a month which is hard with her "high" income of 54k a year.
My brother is an experienced econ grad who's been unemployed for close to a year now.
This is my situation I know, but it's also the same situation for at least 290 million other Americans.
Sorry for the negativity, but where is this magical heavenly paradise that Canadians see as America? I aint seeing it
What I'm saying is that there is death and destruction everywhere and fire will rain down everywhere you go! The world will end

Ladies, calm down. Both countries are great. Both countries have great cities and places to live, as well as absolute ****holes. Just pick which ever rolls with you, and stop imposing your own version of what is best on other people. Chillax, nuff said.
