Hmm, debatable.

I like a lot of Canadian people, I really do. But I really don't know why Canada is number 2. I think the country is overrated, Just my opinion of course.

Default Best countries to live in

Switzerland 1st, Canada 2nd. Writers must underweight cold and snow.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/23/us-n...the-world.html

Here's why Switzerland won.

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/swiss-town...-sh&soc_trk=tw

"A Dutch vegan who applied for a Swiss passport has had her application rejected because the locals found her too annoying.

Nancy Holten, 42, moved to Switzerland from the Netherlands when she was eight years old and now has children who are Swiss nationals.

However, when she tried to get a Swiss passport for herself, residents of Gipf-Oberfrick in the canton of Aargau rejected her application."

Tanja Suter, the president of the local Swiss People’s Party, claimed Ms Holten has a “big mouth” and that residents did not want to grant her citizenship “if she annoys us and doesn’t respect our traditions”.

"It is still very difficult to be granted Swiss citizenship and being born in the country does not give the children or even the grandchildren of immigrants the automatic right to be Swiss."

Canada? A place where you can be put in jail for saying stuff?

The same. Apparently in Switzerland, they just throw you out. If you're a pain is the a**.

You'll provide a link to those instances I'm sure and perhaps they'd be just like these?

Oooopsy; better look again at those so called superior freedoms you think you got:

23rd place, way behind Canada. My, my. I'd be embarrassed if I was you.

Switzerland is a RIGHT wing country. Of course it's #1. Everything we've been trying to do here, they've already done. The far right national party won the last election in 2015.


Anti-immigration party wins Swiss election in 'slide to the Right'

Try to move to Switzerland, and immigrate. See what they say.

Yeah because it happens all the time.

Why do people say silly things like this? For their own amusement or do they truly think others are that ignorant or naive?
