Sweden has a gun problem....

Strommer said Sweden's sixty shooting deaths this year compared to four in Norway, four in Denmark and two in Finland. The deaths are the tip of an iceberg of violence and organised crime that have put down deep roots in parts of society, Strommer said.

Canada has it's problems, but it's a much nicer place to live outside of the winter months.
Think of Canada as America Lite but much more like stepping back into the 1950's and 1960's. Their youth is just a s locked into Social Media and lack of work ethic but the over 30 crowd is like living in the South and Midwest in the Paul Harvey Era.
I am more familiar with the English part of Canada but with family ties back at least to the 1830's it is not a land unfamiliar to me.
When I hear many folks on here speak of Canada, it is quite clear they have never been to Canada, especially rural Canada.
Good meat
Good dairy
Well kept farmland (neither run down nor extravagant)
1950's housing (manageable, not McMansions that sprouted here in the 80's)
Outdoors folks like we used to be
Know neighbors and no locked doors like middle America used to be
Follow English chocolate laws (similar to Swiss) not lax like USA

Prob because our ancestors were exiled from there.
And Canada froze its citizens out of the financial market. they are under an authoritarian regime.
And housing there is expensive, the average house in Toronto costs over 1 million.
oh look...

Wait a minute.. so is Sweden and Europe so great because of their social welfare programs and the insane amount of diversity you claim they have or are they only able to provide those social programs because the US subsidizes them? You aren’t helping your argument here at all

These places all have a population smaller than that of Manhattan (even if you exclude every person from Long Island collecting disability while residing in Florida).
You can have fictional utopia with a small enough set of people with a modicum of pride in their homeland.

The United States was a great idea except for the slavery part. If southerners had picked their own cotton, the US today would have a crime rate as low as Europe, but with a lot more capitalism and free enterprise.

Some questions
Is that 1M USD or 1M CAN (the currencies are not equal)
What is the average house in NYC (if you can even find a house)
Everything everywhere is expensive, but countries have trade off
No death tax in CAN
1,800 drug USD = 200 CAN (very cheap for the same drug - 90% savings)
Politics is limited to about 3 months, not 2 - 4 years
News coverage is International not FOX vs MSNBC
CAN passport best in the world to travel on
CAN is #3 in world for guns behind US, but very few shootings
CAN has VAT but oil is a hidden US version of VAT

Comparing any of these countries to the US would be like comparing your local coffee shop to the wal mart. Most of them are the size of large US citi
I don’t think all those countries combined have half the US population. Spread out over much more land with vast cultural differences.
All of these types of lists completely ignore the nuances of the metrics they try to measure. There are countless places in the US that provide an exceptional quality of life, depending on what you are looking for.
