Best Country to Live in Besides the US?
 

What's your opinion and why?

thanks....

Canada, not because I live here, just because it's a fact. I would never live in the U.S.

Canada is pretty cool. Public healthcare, moderately less violence, that kind of thing.. it adds up, especially when you have kids.

Is there anywhere in Canada that is warm in the summer though?

ie 80s-90s F...

I personally love Vancouver but the woman thinks it'd be toooooooo cold there for her...

Australia.

We live in Paradise... and we don't share borders with any other nation.

Syria.....with all of the wonderful people who warmly embrace western culture and the Miami like night life.

interior BC is the warmest area of Canada (in the spring/summer/fall). absolutely beautiful and clean, surrounded by mountains, rivers and lakes. it does get cold in the winter, but if you ski or snowboard - paradise.

UH FUCK YES. Where I live is in the fooking woods, yet I've seen it as hot as 110 here in the summer. SOme places on the prairies can go even higher. Toronto is pretty moderate year round, even in the winter it doesn't really get SUPER cold there.. And umm..Vancouver is lucky to get snow, it stays quite nice there... My suggestion to you is this, visit sometime, during the summer.... See where you like.. I'll give you a few Canadian views though to give you an idea of what you're missing..

Yes I know it's spammy, but hot damn, people wonder why people like me stick it out... I think it becomes obvious without words :)

Iraq. Where else?

Austrailia for me now, but would like to retire to a peaceful, tourist free, Greek island.

Ontario and Quebec have very cold winter and very hot summer... Last year, July and august had a daytime average of 81F...

Another testimony this is the best place:

I AM CANADIAN
(clears Thoat)
(the canadian one is actually a commercial and is all true!)

Hey...

I'm not a lumberjack, or a fur trader...

and I don't live in an igloo, or eat blubber, or own a dogsled...

and I don't know Jimmy, Sally or Suzy from Canada, although I'm certain they're really, really nice.

I have a Prime Minister, not a President.

I speak English & French, NOT American.

and I pronounce it 'ABOUT', NOT 'A BOOT'.

I can proudly sew my country's flag on my backpack.

I believe in peace keeping, NOT policing.

DIVERSITY, NOT assimilation, AND THAT THE BEAVER IS A TRULY PROUD AND NOBLE ANIMAL.

A TOQUE IS A HAT, A CHESTERFIELD IS A COUCH,
AND IT IS PRONOUNCED 'ZED' NOT 'ZEE', 'ZED'!!!

CANADA IS THE SECOND LARGEST LANDMASS!
THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY! AND THE BEST PART OF NORTH AMERICA!

MY NAME IS JOE!! AND I AM CANADIAN!!!!!!!!



:Graucho

THE FIRST NATION OF HOCKEY!

----------------------------------------------

It is tragic that some of the great Canadian Hockey Clubs are struggling financially....speaking inparticular of Ottawa....best team in the league points wise.

It would be great to see a Canadian Team go to the cup this year......they will no doubt get torn apart by the Red Wings but hey getting to the dance is whats important.

Canada if you like cold snowy winters, hot ass summers with wicked mosquitoes, drinking beers and hockey!! I wouldn't trade it for anything:glugglug

:thumbsup :thumbsup



I love a good winter, but the woman is a fan of the 80-90 degree heat as much of the year as possible...I show her something like this and she's like HELL NO...


http://www.weather.com/outlook/trave...nthly/CAXX0518

^^^ averages for temperature in Vancouver, shows never above 80F....


what's another good city to lookup for average temperatures up there in BC?

as far as places in Canada go...Nova Scotia is great too....pretty mush the same type of climate as BC...and one of the most visited places in the world my tourists each year. The scenery is beautiful.

AMAZING photos! I'd love it up there I'm sure, just shopping for somewhere I can sell the woman on....


The only time of the year that we've visited Vancouver was in the April time frame which was still a bit on the chilly side....

Today weather.com reported the 50s for Van....burrr

WHY YOU BASHING MY COUNTRY? USA EVERY COUNTRY FIGHTS WARS. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX DID YOU SEE THE PROTEST? I WAS THERE!

israel for the climate and the jews and mexico for the weather, wrestling and cost of living

If Israel's climate of hate would decrease I'd love it there I'm sure, if Mexico would allow foreigners to own property near the beach I'd be game....



I guess it's time to get some l00t and just move to Greece :)

Another place/region I was looking at was S. America, but Argentina seems a tad unstable atm....Brazil a bit on the humid side all year long....

anyone from down south that has some recommendations?

Ecuador. No particular reason.

Vancouver is a paradise...

No snow all fucking winter long!! Woohooo! There is snow but it is only on the mountains not on the roads or city. It's always like +15 here all winter. Plus we're surrounded by mountains, and an incredible ocean. The people here are totally laid back and there are tons of hotties. Free healthcare, wicked beer, no draft what could be better!!!

Plus you get $1500 Canuck for every $1000 US cheque you cash :)

Can't beat that man!

DH

I dunno about you.. but those pics all look a little gloomy. Like gloomy paradise :1orglaugh


Oh.. except maybe this one...

http://www.memoriesbytreasure.com/ht...o/banff02.html

In that one the photographer preferred to remain in the gloom and take a picture of the one area around there with some nice sunlight :winkwink:

If I were single the decision would be Soooooooo simple, I'd be in Vancouver in a heartbeat...


I've been there only 2 times and loved it...


:thumbsup :thumbsup


I would have to travel during the summer though to get my heat on....it was 80 F today and I was working on my tan....

canada for sure! great healthcare, very peaceful, many private schools for your children :winkwink:

I love canada! :thumbsup

beautiful, just fuckin beautiful :thumbsup

well i have no doubt that australia is the best country to live in and i am lucky to be an australian.

if i had to choose another country i would probably go with greece or scotland.

Thanks! I enjoyed taking them, too. The picture with the big blue sky is my front yard, feel free to come camp in it any time you like hehe. The rest well, the mountains will always be in my heart (I'm from Calgary and I miss seeing them) but Ontario is lovely too. B. C. is amazing as well.. it's definitely at least worth the visit. :)

Gloomy? With skies like that? Nooo way... I (the photographer in question) don't take pictures of gloom often, but when I do, it's pretty gloom, damn you! hehe. Now be nice before I hunt you down and whip out the rubber farm animal collection on ya. Rowr.

I'd have to go with Canada! :thumbsup

lol.... I dunno.... those skies all looked like they were threatening rain or something. Gotta take a look at some california sun ;)

If you could combine Winnipeg's low cost of living/housing with Vancouver's weather/location you'd have the ultimate paradise.

there's reason why the UN named Canada the best place to live about a kajillion times in a row...




...not that you americans listen to the UN ;)

I would choose Australia (especially Sydney) or Canada (specifically Vancouver)

Other awesome countries include:

Netherlands
New Zealand
Ireland
UK

belize..im retiring there when im done

Hell no, not all of em :) I know California is pretty, but a big sky like that can't be beat for me :)

good weather.. good people..
:thumbsup

The North Pole. No neighbors to deal with.

canada, because beavers rule
