     I have a Canadian-born friend that has been living/working here for the L15 years that would vehemently disagree with this.

    I may be a little bit biased but with all of our warts there's no place I'd rather be to raise our family.

    Yes this is more accurate USA is not even in in the top 10.

    The United States declined "both in absolute terms and relative to its wealthy, world-power peers," ranking just 28th in social progress, according to the index, which measures quality of life in areas such as personal safety; health and wellness; environmental quality; personal freedom and choice; and inclusiveness. That's a 12-spot drop from when the full index was first published in 2014, when the U.S. came in at No. 16.

    Quality of Life: according to the U.S. News & World Report . . .

    Beyond the essential ideas of broad access to food and housing, to
    quality education and health care, to employment that will sustain us,
    "quality of life" may also include intangibles such as job security,
    political stability, individual freedom and environmental quality.

    What social scientists DO AGREE ON is that material wealth is NOT
    the most important factor in assessing a life lived well.
    The results of the Quality of Life sub-ranking survey reflect that sensibility.

    The quality of life for this Mom and family was not in play inside the greatest country on the planet. Sad, but true story inside the Land of Trudeau! Did he finally take his black face off?

    CANADA's COVID vaccine response;

    https://theconversation.com/the-roots-of-canadas-covid-19-vaccine-shortage-go-back-decades-154792

    Canada’s first attempt to ensure domestic production was a deal with the Chinese manufacturer CanSino Biologics in May 2020. Had that deal gone ahead, it would have involved trials at the Canadian Centre for Vaccinology at Dalhousie University and, if successful, subsequent domestic manufacturing. But within days of the agreement being announced, there were already troubles as the Chinese delayed sending the seed material for the vaccine and, ultimately, it never arrived."

    Nothing but horror stories on their socialized health care. Long delays, can't get an appointment, and TAXES!!

    Clearly you have never been to Canada. It is not even close to "All White". Try again. This is an embarrassing fail on your part.  Canada is one of the most diverse countries in the world.  Just talking out of your A$$ again with no facts to back your ASSumptions.  Par for the course for you.

     

    ignorance is bliss
