A lot of people think Canada is just mountains, prairies, tundra, lakes and forests but it is actually extraordinarily diverse..

Nova Scotia is another place with some nice white sandy beaches
nova scotia white beaches - Google Search

Wasaga beach is only a 1.5 hr drive from Toronto
nova scotia white beaches - Google Search

Would I use these to challenge the worlds best beaches in Canada's favour - No lol but they can be used to dispel stereotypes.

Dunno, I thought this has already been discussed..
Excuse me? But when is Germany bigger than Canada and rural isn't bad. All you got to do is just live in those urban areas of Canada.

Seriously. That is the beauty of Canada, the amount of land and resources it has, yet the population in comparison is small.

I also find the urban areas of Canada to be more of my likening.

While German cities are beautiful and historical, there is a certain something missing from them but I think that is Germany in general.

For #2 : Doesn't Germany have more efficient healthcare system? Not sure whether Germany's is privatized or not though...

For 6 and 7 : Better than Germany? How so? I thought Germany's infrastructure level to be ahead of many other countries, like being the Japan of Europe.

For #9 : Are you kidding me? Germany has at least six weeks of paid vacation/holidays, and that's longer than Canada's two weeks!

That was compared to the UNITED STATES because someone asked me why I like Canada more than America.

OK but there is no way Canada's highway system is better than that of the US.

After one year in Germany, I think I got enough of it. Not that it's bad, but, of course, it's not in the same league as Canada or US.
