Which country? I live in Canada and have had angry Americans explain that we live in a socialist hellhole with no rights and a poor quality of life.
Which was an interesting take since Ive lived in both countries and my life here is way the fuck better than it was down there.
They live in a delusion down there.
Can also confirm. I lived in the US for ~25 years before moving, Canada is so much better. Though I do think we could be even more of a "socialist hellhole" up here
There’s plenty of dumbass Canadians who spout the same lies.
Yeah Ive seen Albertans.
I would happily move to Canada if your weather wasn't so awful.
It's a big country friend! We're all over the place for weather!
While true we do have a reputation as a frozen wasteland, we have all sorts of weather! For instance in the Maritimes you can get a frozen wet wasteland with the occasional hurricane! The prairie provinces are frozen windy wastelands! And the perennial favorite of BC is a dreary wet wasteland!
Still wouldn't want to live anywhere else though.
I grew up in Cleveland, on Lake Erie, directly across from Toronto, so I am very familiar with that brand of weather. Years ago I moved to Florida, which was amazing until the MAGAs fucked it up. It's still beautiful, but a lot of the people, and the entire state government, suck.
The short days in winter. Get up in the dark, watch the beautiful six hours of sunlight through a grimy office window, go home in the dark, damp, cold soggy rainy windy weather that passes for winter these days.
The weather is our natural gatekeeper.
