Canada vs. UK??

[ahm2299]

Is Canada a better place to live than UK? I reached a stage to decide where to go Canada or stay in UK?? I know this is a broad question and I might get broad answers but if anyone can come up with any kind of comparison e.g. education, health, prices, tax, etc???

IMO, England is going downhill. Jobs are getting hard to find (my cousin just got laid off) prices are inflating and wages are staying the same.
An example of crazy pricing, a pair of tommy hilfiger jeans in england, 90GBP, same jeans in America $35.
Kindle, in england 89GBP ($139), in Canada $109.

Also, the scallies/chavs are getting worse.

Its rains alot and the summer is rubbish.

VAT in england is now 20%, in Ontario tax is 13%...

UK people are proud because they are the natives they have the right to be proud, its their land. Canada is friendly because we all know that we all were/are immigrants some came earlier than others, except Aboriginals they are the natives so they can be proud but poor Aboriginals have no power there. So Canadians are friendly because they have learned to respect each other and they cannot racially profile others as immigrants cant racially abuse immigrants(but in our hearts we all do ).

they have a right to be proud?? i dont agree .. once these people were ruling over half of the world and now a country so small that you see immigrants more than the natives.. this has made them grumpy and unfriendly which appears to us as proudness..

There are sterotypes for all parts of the world and that does not mean you should blanket an entire nation as "grumpy" or "proud."

Get back to the original point...
