I would love to help pump up the GDP at a new country. What I'm looking for: Efficiently run government, low corruption, policies that encourage education and health, and progressive expanded rights and freedoms. I'm in. But, based on what I know about Canada, I don't think it's it.
- elthran 11y agoSounds like you want a Scandinavian country
- Matachines 11y agoIDK about the rest but Sweden has definitely not encouraged good education in a while.
- ar0 11y agoAlso, if you are fleeing from Trump's anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim rhetoric (as the Bloomberg article suggests), some of those places (e.g. Denmark) might not really be the best place to go.
- cplanas 11y agoAs an immigrant in Denmark, I can confirm. After a while here, Trump sounds like a clown with centrist political views on immigration.
- ordbajsare 11y agoHAHAHAHhhaaahHAHAHAHA .... your are so wrong
- ar0 11y agoCould you expand on your reasoning for this conclusion a bit? What knowledge of Canada does not fit to these requirements? Which countries would in your opinion be a better fit?
- caiob 11y agoCanada is the closest thing you will get to those goals without being trapped in a boring isolated Nordic European country.
- padobson 11y agoYou mean Europe's Canada?
- S4M 11y agoHow about France and Germany?
- realusername 11y agoFrench here, France is the complete opposite of an efficient government. The bureaucracy is massive and everywhere. It's quite outside of the scope of this topic but the short answer is don't create a company there.
- S4M 11y agoI'm French as well (expat, though). What you say is true, but it strikes me as a lesser evil than the ones that are plaguing USA: little social protection and high cost of education among others.
- realusername 11y agoAlso expat on my case (London). Yes indeed I agree. My problem with the French system is more the bureaucracy than anything else. I'm from the countryside in a post-industrial area so it makes it even worse than in cities. I have a brother who has a shop and honestly, it's impossible to manage the paperwork nowadays, I don't want to put any anecdotes here because people won't beleive me and I will probably be downvoted. I think around ~70% of the shops in the area are close to bankruptcy and the system is crashing really hard currently. If it stays like this, everyone will be relying on some sort of black market to purchase goods in less than 10 years. While I guess main cities are still okay, things are not really working anymore in remote areas.
- meric 11y agoTake a look at New Zealand.
- konart 11y ago>Efficiently run government >Low corruption >policies that encourage education and health >progressive expanded rights and freedoms. You can chose only 3.
- Ntrails 11y ago>You can chose only 3 I'm pretty sure you're lucky to get 1
- refurb 11y agoprogressive expanded rights and freedoms If that includes freedom of speech, you may want to rethink Canada. Say something politically incorrect and expect to be pulled in front of the on Human Rights Commission to explain yourself and potentially be fined. In terms of corruption, try googling "Sponsorship Scandal".
