Multicultural, and, more importantly, multicultured. Free healthcare, clean, beautiful....I've lived in many countries, and not too many people have anything bad to say about Canada (aside from the Americans who put a Canadian flag on their backpack).
Anyways, Canadians are so much more friendly and polite than AMericans, our standard of liviing is much better....and, per pop. we have way more people trying to come to our country to live, which we openly accept....
Americans are too bigoted/afraid...Euros are too steeped in tradition, Aussies are still somewhat racist...I've LIVED in Indian, China...andeverybody wants to come to Canada.
No problemo here.....
Canadian by birth but live in China.
Do you know that rougholy 1/10 people in Toronto are are Chinese?
So, please Americans...don't get too high on your horse, there are many other counbtries that accept more immigrants per. pop'ln, than the good ol' Excited States of Hysteria! Canada is just more friendly.

angel,
you would feel safer in Canada, trust me.
Americais one big illusion. Take care of yourself...don't walk alone after dark in the US...that's all I'm saying. Unless you're one of these Asian students who has their dad pay for everything...and who is 20 years old, but never worked a day in her life. Sorry to stereotype, but I've lived in Asia for almost five years and am 27....
I tried to get some experience to back up my MA.
Don't give in to blind faith. Go to Canada, next chance you have, we're way more tolerant than the bigot/racist/imperialists that you live under.
Red China Rise! America is Finished!

angel,
acutallyl, i've given up hope for you. Stay where you are, stay in 'America' foerver...never go back to China, please. Because it would sadden me dearly that I feel like I'm more of a responsible citizen of this world than someone who is unwilling to helo their own country. Please, never come back to China. Please. Xi'an, Nanjing, Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Tianjin, Guandong...I don't care....please, stay where you are.....anbd never come back. (It's so easy to brainwash people, isn't it? Especially if you exposle them to something they've nev er seen before.)
Please, don't come back to China.
Xie xie. Da bai chi.

All right, easy everyone...
yes, Canadian culture is almost non-existent...but we are hands down the most beautiful country on earth...and most canadians live within 100 miles of the us BORDER...the most populous region being on par with N.California...our qualtity of life is ten fold better than even the most flag waving american can boast about....our education is bar none, we are the most multicultural nation on this earth, we were there in 1914, and 1939....our reputation abroad is superlative....everyone from the british to the chinese love canadians....and mostly, we are funny as hell.....we have character, and are friendly. we're not nearly as uptight as Americans, or most Euros...we STILL pride ourselves on being a melting pot, whereas the US and Europe has become completely xenophobic in recent years.
So, then, why is it that I see Americans put a Canadian flag on their backpacks so they wn't have to be interrogated wherever they go around the world. You only wish.

Canada is not the most generous country in the world -- although I'm sure there are many generous Canadians. Unfortunately, many statistical studies only measure generosity in terms of what a country's GOVERNMENT does. They do not typically account for what a country's PRIVATE CITIZENS do, in terms of generosity. And when generosity by private citizens is factored in, the United States of America wins hands down. However we measure it -- in absolute dollars, in dollars per capita, in the amount of time we give to charitable causes, whatever -- private citizens in the USA are the most generous people on earth. Terrorists do not target the USA because they think we should mind our own business. They target us because we are the antipathy of everything they stand for. We stand for freedom and individuality. They stand for repression, control of people's lives, and religious fanaticism. .

Wow, you are certainly excited about our country. According to International Polls, Canada ranks very high in the order of desired places to live.Yes, we do have a lot of taxes and not as many deduction capabilities as Americans, but our minimum wage is higher and the standard of living is about the same. However, as far as Health care goes, our taxes provide more for the buck than in America and our drugs are cheaper ( as evidenced by the busloads of senior Americans who cross the border to buy). Going to the hospital for say a broken leg, costs nothing while in America, one could be out thousands of dollars.
Yes, I find Canada a great country as well but the U.S. is also nice and the people there that I talk with often are all very nice, polite and friendly.

I've always wanted to move to Canada to be honest, I'm in England at the mo and finding it rather difficult - there's a new law a day here and a new tax a month... makes it somewhat expensive! I like Canada for it's forests and open spaces, I've always thought it would be a great place for raising kids. Unfortunately it's the cost, but I hope to go one day.

Well it is the best country; but still it isnt the best!!! For any Canadian its a best coountry, but you should be proud of your own country, your culture. U say its got almost all people from world live there. But what makes these people is their own country. Ask any forighner and deep inside he will love his country more than anybody's else. So LOVE UR COUNTRY!

National pride is both a good thing, and a dangerous thing. Every person on this earth, usually, will consider the country he or she lives in to be the "best" place on earth to live. There are exceptions, but from day one almost all children are taught their national anthem in school, and a sense of pride in their country.
The danger is when this national pride turns to anger or jealousy over one's neighbors, and that leads feeble minded leaders to invade or cause harm to other counties.
So, do you live in India? Then India is the best country on earth.
Do you live in England? Then surely that is the best country on earth!
Do you live in the USA? Then that is the best country on earth!
If I lived in Canada, and I have been there many, many times and love it, I would surely believe Canada to be the best country on earth!

i said it before and I'll (no doubt) say it again:
You might be canadian if.....
-You can repeat the entire Molson’s Canadian ’The Rant’:
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 and 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 PRONOUCED '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!!!!!!!!
-You know all the words to "If I had a million dollars" by The Barenaked Ladies, including the inter-stanza banter between Steven and Ed.
-You dismiss all beers under 6% as "for children and the elderly"
-You know that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) don’t always look like that
-You watch MuchMusic constantly, in the hopes of occasional fleeting glimpses of The Tragically Hip
-You think Peter Mansbridge is sexy. -You think Lloyd Robertson is sexy. -You think Peter Kent is sexy.

-You know what "Canuba" is. You think it’s pretty damn funny
-You die a little inside if you can’t get your Tim’s double-double every morning.
-You know the difference between real snow and "television" snow -- the white stuff that passes for snow on tv and in films. You scream, "For Christsake! That should be sticking to their pants!" and "Lookit, it’s not melting! That’s *so* not snow!" when watching ’Winter’ scenes
-You’ve actually said, "Stay where yer at, ’till I gets where yer to"
-Can Complete the phrase: "The good old ____ game is the best ____ you can ____."
-You find it difficult to explain "milk in a bag" to non-Canadians, and even more difficult to describe the "snippy-thing" used on bag corners. (Bonus points if your collected snippy-things are stuck to your fridge.)
-You’re pretty sure you can see Alex Trebek smirking when Jeopardy contestants get the "Canada questions" wrong. Even if you weren’t sure of the answer yourself, you consider yourself a hundred times smarter than the idiots who always guess, "What is .. uh, Toronto?"
-Your Saturday nights in the Atlantic provinces include eating beans and brown bread as you watch Hockey Night in Canada
-Your local zoo is mainly flamingoes, giraffes and sad elephants freezing their asses off against a backdrop of pine trees, grey skies, and precambrian shield formations

-You get excited whenever an American television show mentions -You live in a house with no front step, but the door is one meter up from the ground
-You perk up when you hear the theme song from "Hockey Night in Canada."
-"Eh?" is a very important part of your vocabulary, and is more polite than, "Huh?"
-You’ve ever had your tongue frozen to something.
-You know that in Canada the mosquitoes have landing lights
-You have more miles on your snow blower than your car
-You know that Canadian Tire on any Saturday is busier than the toy stores before Christmas.
-You’ve taken your kids trick-or-treating in a blizzard.
-Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled in with snow
-You can play road hockey on skates
-You have memorized the Heritage Foundation’s Heritage Moments, including your favourites, "Burnt Toast!", "You know I canna read a word...",
-You are moved to tears by those Bell Canada phone commercials they show around Remembrance Day, where the grandson calls his granddad from Dieppe. You understand the manipulative nature of the advertisement, but continue to be moved, nonetheless
-You spit angrily when Americans say "ruff" instead of the correct "roof".

Canada is fast becoming a police state. You have only 1/10 the population of the US but more problems. You snotty attitude doesn't make you any friends, either.
