BobbyB - no offence but as a DIE HARD NOW CANADIAN - I beg to differ BIGGGGGGGGGGG with u on the following points :::
1) UK is TOO TOO TOO SMALL compared to CANADA ( If Canada is a house then UK is the TOILET in that house)
OH YES!!! Trust me if i can aviod UK I will in my tavel plan.
2) Sure - UK has more culture and history than Canada - but BORING - I think the whole world thinks the BRITISH to be the most Boring and Dull of all western people - including the British accent which is matter of joke and ridicule in Canada
What CULTURE, all they do is mock others, back biting.. I was there few times and all they do is back biting and ridiculing their co-worker. I thought Brits are cool, but OMG thats SO CHANGED. And, I WONDER when ppl say UK got CULTURE, are you talking about BIG HISTORICAL BUILDINGS built by stolen money/wealth and free sweat of their past colonies...THEN GO TO FRANCE.
3) Everything in the UK is very small compared to Canada - extremely small houses, small cars, small roads and even the Food Quantity is very very small - probably because UK is very poor compared to Canada and cannot afford big things
HELL YA, It drove me crazy. Tired of seeing little Brits..
4) British people are crazy to migrate to Canada in very large numbers - in turn Canadians are least bothered about moving to UK - comparison wise - BELIEVE me it is VERY EASY for Canadians to go and live in Europe if they want no problem
YES YES YES, but less Brits is good. I dont want that Brit Virus in CANADA.
5) Salary wise - 35,000 pounds is considered a very good salary in UK (as per the UKBA website)- which is almost $60,000 dollars a year. Nobody is Canada will say that $60,000 is a good salary - usuually $100,000 is considered a good salary here - this shows that SALARY LEVELS in the UK are VERY LOW
Yes, they sip soup in lunch apparently meals are too costly.
6) The Weather in UK sucks - raining, boring , depressing etc etc etc
dont know much abt it.
7) Last but not the least - if it werent for generous help of Canada and USA during World War 2 - UK would by now have been a German Colony - it cant even stand and fight for its own since the 20th century - always begging to USA and Canada for help - food, money, security (Marshall Plan)
Care less...but good Canada help and should help whe need help.
SO Sorry BobbyB - you cant even compare the 2 - if Canada is Good, UK is probably getting past the OK category !!!
