From a Canadian (I say that word very loosely because I'm ashamed at being one) who now lives in the US and a US citizen, I will gladly take the random violence in the US than to live in that rathole of a country Canada again. Seriously, the country is a joke from top to bottom.
Taxes are the highest of any western country
Their military is a joke, how much of joke? They sent their armed forces to the middle east in "Green jungle Camo" gear



. They are supposed to blend with the desert, not stand out


Then when the US forces made fun of them and told them to take their forces far far away from the US contingent, the Canadian forces went to the army store and dyed their gear with that sandy colors, until the canadian gov't could order new desert military gear. And when those new gear arrived, after a few weeks of usage, it started to fade


Their military equipment is so old and outdated, they were rated worst than some eastern bloc countries.
I kid you not about the above story, as silly and funny as it sounds, it is 100% true and was well documented
When politicians in the US are exposed to wrong doings, they usually try to deny/cover up it, and then if they can't, they usually resign. In Canada, when crooked politicians are exposed, they don't get fired/resigned, the response is almost "so what" and they keep their jobs.
The people are just so incompetent for a lack of a better word. It's like their goal in life is to be so incompetent. Their favorite term is "I have no idea". Their health care system is a joke. You wait in the ER when you are in the hospital for 5-6 hours before receiving medical attention. Their doctors favorite medication to prescribe? Tylenol 3. It doesn't matter what's wrong with you, that's their favorite medication to give a sick person. Comes back to the whole incompetent thing.
They like to brag that they are better than the Americans and more liked.

No it's because the rest of the world is getting a kick out of laughing at the Canadians, it's not liking you, they feel sorry for you
And they seem to think they are the best in Hockey. The sense of entitlement is hilarious because they think they are better than anyone else at it. Always brings a smile to my face when they get their butts kicked by the US, Russia, Sweden,etc.. and then you get a greater enjoyment hearing the excuses as to why they lost.
I could go on and on about Canada till my faces turns blue. Bottom line is that besides the French in Quebec which I feel sorry for being stuck in Canada (and it's no wonder they want to separate), the rest of Canada is a place you want to stay far far away from unless you are a terrorist. Canada is the #1 safe haven for terrorists of all types. Middle east terrorists, somolian pirates, asian gangsters, etc...they all run to Canada.
Ever since I moved to the US and got my citizenship, I couldn't have been happier.

Now I go back to Canada to look into my real estate affairs, and to visit family and I get the hell out the first chance I get. Good riddance

How's that for a "Canadian's" take?
