When Europe shipped off all of the religious crazies back in the day, then sent them to the US and not Canada. That's the root cause of basically everything that's wrong in this country.
People with the opinion you just expressed are the root cause of basically everything that's wrong in this country.
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.
There's no political meddling in the financial system, and they don't subsidize home ownership by gutting underwriting standards as Barney Frank did, which is why their economy is among the soundest ones on the planet, and they were unscatched by the worldwide financial collapse.
However, the rampant healthcare rationing is another matter entirely, which is why their most well-off citizens will hop on a plane to the USA if they need a major procedure of any kind, a la world leaders from around the world who've been doing just that for ages.

Nor do they allow mortgage deductions on income taxes, and they do not have so many government programs designed to encourage homeownership like the US does. Yet Canada has either the world's highest rate of homeownership or the 2nd highest (the US' is considerably lower)
