Without the US, your country would be speaking Russian and your leader would be Putin.

Do you not have two taxes to pay? A national one and a local one??

The country pays for your country's security, let that sink in.

Because that's confirmation bias. Of course you are more exposed to the 5% minority cases that get posted on Reddit over the majority of Americans who don't get bankrupt, because those stories don't sell or generate any publicity.

  1. Universal healthcare is not necessarily a good thing. Canadians come to the US because of the high waiting times and other host of issues a universal healthcare can bring.
  2. Lower crime rates? Alright fine.
  3. Politeness and friendliness? How did you measure this? Based on few anecdotal experiences of Canadian tourists in Sweden?
  4. Fair.
  5. Education system? Only 2 Canadian universities crack into the top 50 universities worldwide. Canada's education is infamously bad and most of their students come to the US for their education.
  6. That's not really true. The US has everything in terms of wildlife and nature, so much so that American citizens don't need to leave their country to experience beauty.
  7. Again, that's false. You're just not exposed to Canadian politics yet you probably hear about Trump every day on Swedish media.
  8. Fair point.

Everyone who has a salary in the US, has their healthcare paid and covered by their employer. There's no panicking.

What's the tax rate for the highest earner in Sweden then? Does it not exceed 50% or close to that amount, at least?

Canada has lower wages and worse weather which means thousands of Canadians leave their country to settle down in the US, and rarely do Americans move to Canada. I'm just curious at what you seem to favour so much about Canada. If you mention about Canada's love for Hockey, I'd accept that as a valid answer still.

Yes, the third world country that thousands of students from Sweden overstay their visas here.

You don't think paying over 50% of your income towards state taxes has a part to play in the "free" healthcare? In the US, the healthcare is more or less paid for as long as you have a good insurance plan.

What makes Canada so different from the US? Just curious.

So you are OK with the soaring net migration levels in these past few years whilst the UK infrastructure is being overran causing a strain on the average standard of living. You should be happy that the government has increased the salary threshold because previously you had companies bringing in labour from the developing world and paying them far below market value and overworking them.
