Reasons Canada is Better Than the United States

By the way, to the person who commented under Dragonfly 99, I see your point, but ours is still better. Sure, it takes a while, but that just means people are taking advantage of the system. NOBODY in Canada has to wait a month, so I bet you're exaggerating. Plus, even if they did have to wait that long and got their surgery done here, they most likely left with a $50,000 bill in the U.S. More people go to Canada from the United States for healthcare than Canadians going to the U.S. for healthcare.

Honestly, I wish I was Canadian. In America, if you want a kidney transplant, you go to the hospital, get the kidney transplant, and walk out with a $400,000 bill. In Canada, you go to the hospital, get the kidney transplant, and walk out with absolutely no charge.

I feel that Canada is safer than the U.S., where it seems like there's always violence.

I'm always hearing about the U.S. news, especially gun shootings. I am proud to be Canadian and live in a much safer country.

Some people don't even lock their doors because there's less crime!

Depends on where you are, but in general, it's probably true. Although I've heard cities like San Diego in California are almost trash-free, which is nice.

I have lived in Canada for 42 years, and it is the cleanest country in the world.

It depends on the area. Country-wise, Canada is cleaner because of its vast wilderness.

Canada has amazing opportunities for exploration! While we may not have Florida's sun and coconut palms, we excel in offering rugged, natural beauty. Want to walk along a rocky coastline? Head to Vancouver Island or Newfoundland for breathtaking hikes.

If you're looking for a softer coastline, there are a handful of sandy beaches in Prince Edward Island and the Gulf Islands. If mountains are your thing, the Canadian Rockies are the place to go. Visit Jasper or Banff - or both! - to experience the glory of Canada and perhaps spot our national animal, the beaver.

Genuinely kind and quiet. They do not bother others or intrude in their business. Very clean country. All the major cities blow NYC out of the water.

I have been here for two months. I have made friends with a Bulgarian, Chinese, Indian, African, and of course, many Canadians. Everyone is very friendly.

I love you Canadians. You people are so peaceful and nice. I wish I could be like you.

There are way too many Americans. There's always traffic. I love how there are Canadians, but not so many that you wonder if you'll get to work sometime this century.

We might have to build a wall to keep these Donald Trump-fleeing Americans out of our beautiful country!

It's a shame that I'm from New York.

We don't like to stir the pot. Why can't the world just get along? We try to help other countries that suffer from injustices.

Holy guacamole, literally everywhere but the US and some place in Africa uses it, which to me speaks volumes about how superior it is. (Sorry, guys, but really!)

They only win in the NHL, which isn't even international. Most of the American-based NHL teams are rostered and captained by Canadian players. Take superstars like Crosby and Toews - they dominate.

Canada also excels in the World Juniors. On January 5th, Canada won gold, with Sweden taking silver and the USA earning bronze. Look out, USA - Canada is coming to dominate! We Canadians are sorry we can't hear you over the sound of our gold medal.

The USA will say: Who cares? You're Canada. Everyone expects you to win.
Canada replies: Who cares either? No one expects you to win anyway. Boom, roasted.

The other vote here made me ashamed of modern American society. Also, statistically, Canadians are more educated than Americans. I'm not even Canadian, and I know this.

We have the most educated people. However, that doesn't mean we're the smartest in the world. It just means we have more people in the country with a higher IQ than other places.

I remember hearing that, on average, Canadians are the most educated people in the world. But please note that being more educated doesn't always mean being more intelligent.

That's not a big lie. It's been proven by the American government itself that Canada is safer. You guys are the ones with sociopaths, psychopaths, bombers, and did you forget about 9/11? Meanwhile, here, all we have are rabid dogs that are taken away by the police. France is safer than the USA. Deal with it.

Well, maybe that's because we don't need guns. It's not like we're scared of getting shot on the street. Canada is way safer.

True! At least in Canada, politicians try to help the country for the common good. The United States seems to prioritize the almighty dollar. Americans consistently vote for the same rich capitalists who don't really care about them.

Just look at the racist, greedy, and crazy Donald Trump and his billionaire staff.

Even the fast food is better. I hear McDonald's in the US doesn't taste as fresh.

It's a widely known traveler's tip for Americans: when you go to another country, wear a Canadian flag pin instead of an American one, and you won't be scoffed at by the citizens.

The majority of people in Canada don't care about your sexual orientation or religion!
