it’s funny because most of the US has the perception that canada is a mess and a horrible place to live too. Awful job prospects, migrant problems, horrible weather, and a housing market that makes the US look cheap. Just to name a few.
Not sure if that’s true at all, i’ve never been to canada! So take those opinions with a huge grain of salt lol.
What’s my point? I guess that perceptions can be very different.
Anyway since you left canada, I hope you found someplace where you are happier. :-)
- throaway915 2y agothey're all true, and all (mostly) exaggerated, on both sides of the border
- amrocha 2y agoThe difference is that I’ve never met a Canadian who hasn’t been to the US at least once. The same can’t be said for US citizens, as evidenced by you. I lived in Connecticut for 6 months too for what it’s worth. Awful place. Canada is much better, but has its problem. These days I live in Tokyo and love it.
- lurking_swe 2y agoi’ve lived in connecticut for 3 years. Can confirm it sucks! maybe i should actually visit canada one day, see it with my own eyes.
- Mountain_Skies 2y agoOver half of Canadians live within 70 miles of the US border and up to 90% (methodologies vary) live with 100 miles of the border. The converse isn't even close to being true.
- amrocha 2y agoThis isn’t a pissing contest. The point is that Canadians understand the US far better than USians understand Canada.
