Canada is becoming ever more attractive while the US is self destructing as society and free wheeling capitalist economy that destroys the small man. I see several factors that make Canada way more attractive than the US in the long term:
1) Canada does not worship its military complex. US pushes hundreds of millions into a useless military black hole each and every single year.
2) Social welfare and social security. Canada is already where most Americans could dream to arrive in 10-20 years. A balanced society that takes care of those who fall sick or otherwise on hard times.
3) Canada has the best immigration system bar none. Countless advanced societies copy Canada's point based immigration system that is incredibly smart and long term oriented while the US is swinging back and forth between immigrant hatred and "let whoever enter, even if illegal)" idiocy.
4) hardly any gun violence in Canada. Thousands of murders and shot people in the US every year. Overcrowded prisons, sentences for minor drug offenses is pushing the US beyond the bearable. Welcome to wild west vs a society that respects each other and different cultural values.
5) A Canadian sense of self worth and respect for one's health and body. Crossing the border from BC into Washington state just a few weeks ago was a shocking experience. Food portions at restaurants 2-3 times the size than in Canada. Obese people literally everywhere. Extremely unhealthy diets for average Americans. And we are talking Washington state not Missouri. Quite an eye opening experience. One only has to quickly get a taste of things in the political forum of this website to understand what I am talking about.
6) US is engaged in a quasi civil war of opinions and politics. People are destroying each other. Families and friendships break apart over different political opinions. I have not seen things to such degree anywhere in Canada, and it's literally 3 days before the federal election. Grownups understand that it's just politics and life goes on. Only children make a fuss and behave as if a political stance or opinion is everything that defines a human being.
Looks very much that the little brother has grown up and runs circles around big daddy. I will receive my PR in Canada quite soon and settle in BC, which by the way, is turning along with Toronto into a high tech hub. Could not be prouder of my chosen country of permanent residence. What has happened to America? Things were not like that 25 years ago. Imho Americans should be extremely careful whom they depict as shithole countries.
Lets hear from the friends down south.
