America Light® in a lot of ways. Its so damn big that most people that don't live in the beautiful parts of the country might live their whole lives and never see it.
Housing is fucked, public transit is fucked, urban planning is fucked, we use migrants as cannon fodder for the minimum wage meat grinder... Man, the list goes on.
Its certainly not the worst place in the world to live but it's really not as good as many people think.
Fellow Canadian?
Yup.
Could be talking about Australia too..
Fucked housing situation, check. Shit public transport network country wide, check. Poor urban planning basically country wide, check. Migrants for minimum wage work, definitely check
your education system is also great at giving away money to foreigners.
I'm American and your government paid me $50K to study there. Half of my cohort were non-Canadian too.
At least in USA, most unis make foreign students pay a ton money to study here.
Wtf? Where do I sign?
You don't sign, you apply to university. And if they want you to come they give you money.
How do you make them want you to come?
have something they want.
