<p>Canada, their dollar is now roughly equivalent to ours. The social system tends to work better in Canada, to the extent that until recently US citizens from the NW tier were routinely going there for meds and other services.
Which they couldn’t afford here in the US. </p>
<hr>
<p>Canada, in general is socially more stable. And compared to the US (with homeland security, TSA and local minions running all over even in pudunk towns in North Dakota, and Montana) the government is less obtrusive in day to day life. You can drive the highways without being constantly followed.
And in general Canadian border officials are better behaved than some of the idiot’s we’ve hired to man checkpoints (it seems the mall ninjas were really, really recruited for US duty). </p>
<hr>
<p>Tax burdens may be higher, but the Canadians aren’t spending 5,000 a minute on various wars. Much of their tax money remains to make things work in Canada. </p>
<hr>
<p>Canada has substantial oil reserves, so when they stop selling it in the US we’ll see fuel prices climb. </p>
<hr>
<p>And the Canadians have been intelligent enough to reform their laws regarding student loans, including making reasonable accommodation to the seemingly endless terms of these loans. Something which may never happen in the US because of the number of congressmen bought and sold by the edudebt lobby.
As such very soon its probable the Canadians will see another attempted influx of Americans hoping to take advantage of less draconian laws about student loan debt. Already due to economic difficulties here in the US, many teaching jobs in the provinces had been seeing lots of US applicants. To the extent some specified that Canadian nationals were preferred. </p>
<hr>
<p>There are problems on the reserves, but not to the extent of some of the troubles on US reservations. They have had some difficulties with the Canadian government but both sides generally manage to hold to agreements better. </p>
<hr>
<p>And the education system in Canada is equivalent or better than that of the US.</p>
<hr>
<p>About the only detriment is that one cannot generally possess a pistol in Canada…but that’s not something that’s really that big of an issue. Or it would seem not to be…Although many here in the US seem to think so…</p>
