Not sure.. why people from US want to move to Canada?? I thought US is much better than Canada?
Can anyone help me to understand the benefits of Canada over US?
Because Canadian police don't generally shoot unarmed people in the back.
Because Canada won't tax your foreign retirement income.
Because getting sued in the states can take 10 years and destroy your life savings and businesses.
Because prior to ObamaCare, losing your job meant losing insurance and being uninsurable in the future unless you get a job with a big employer, which is hard when you're disabled.
Because Canada doesn't consider it's Citizens it's property, forcing them to file reports of all their bank accounts, and worldwide income, and pay taxes on it.
Because Canada doesn't claim jurisdiction over every boat or plane with a Canadian on it.
Because Canada doesn't spend $640 billion a year on warfare, more than Japan, Germany, the UK, France, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and China combined.
Because Canada doesn't force foreign banks to turn over all information on their citizens everywhere in the world, or face confiscation of 35% of all money that bank brings across borders.
Because Canada doesn't try to strongarm the world into ridiculous Copyright treaties that violate the constitution.
Because Canada doesn't spy on it's own citizens like the NSA does.
Because Canada doesn't have 42% of the wealth owned by 1% of the population.
And my personal reason.... I'm gay, and I've been married in Canada for the past 5 years. In the United States, they are still fighting over who is allowed to be a family.
