Canada is a great place to live if you don’t mind the cold winters ;0) People are friendly, crime is low, and each province has its own beauty and culture. Large cities are melting pots for people of other countries and everyone blends in. English and French are national languages but many here speak other languages and manage to get along fine. Note if you want to fit in… Be considerate and polite as those born here appreciate that. Canadians aren’t politically correct they’re are just nice to nice people. Quebec while being a beautiful province has problems with getting along with others. Sometimes they can be rude to guests. It is expensive to live here.
UK also has it’s own beauty with rolling hills, great pubs and social circles also has a somewhat lower standard of living compared to some other countries. The climate while somewhat rainy is moderate. The people are friendly and will try to go out of their way to ensure your comfort and orientation. Larger cities have high crime rates. It is expensive for residence, food or other necessities.
USA differs from state to state. The eastern seaboard has more crime than does the west and is humid compared to the dryer east with the exception of New Mexico which also has the largest crime rate in the US. Large cities are expensive to live in with some New York properties untouchable by average standards.
Thanks......
