      Canada doesn’t have anywhere near the gun violence issue the US does but just fyi guns are very much legal in Canada. In fact, Canada has one of the highest gun ownership rates in the world.

        Weather (HUGE pro, you cannot imagine how depressing is the winter in Canada until you live there), higher Salaries, lower taxes, more opportunities, paid in USD (being paid in CAD sucks).

    My ranking among major (population wise) English speaking countries…if you have NO personal connection (family, friends, specific preferences/conditions):

    • (1) Australia

    • (2) UK

    • (3) US

    • (4) Canada

    Australia to me seems to have the most holistic balance when it comes to the factors you mentioned (weather, healthcare, salary, rent, nature), but it is a rather far-away country to Europe and the American continents.

    If you have no personal connection to either, but don’t want to live in Australia and…

    • want to be in closer proximity to European travel/lifestyle, go for the UK.

    • are in or aim to be in the “top” of your field; focused on opportunity and diversity, go for the US

    • speak or don’t mind learning French and/or love winter weather, go for Canada (personally I prefer Quebec)

      Btw everywhere in Canada is obligatory in schools to learn French? I think that English is the main language and you can not prioritize French, what’s the really

      You forgot NZ! I’d put it as number 2. I agree with your ranking though US and Canada are pretty interchangeable ranking wise

      And Ireland which I would personally for sure under Aus/NZ and above US and Canada but unsure where I’d put it relative to the UK

    Canada is a shitshow right now - major housing crisis (not just in cities, many towns as well), skyrocketing cost of living, cold climate (aside from BC but BC has a major drug epidemic/homeless problem), healthcare is the worst I’ve seen in my life, crime rates rising, etc. Don’t come here, trust me

        It really depends on where you live and what you do. If you land a good job with good healthcare in a safer city/area it’s fine. Moved from Germany to NYC this year and have always felt safe here. And our insurance here is also better than in Germany lol.
