MODERATORS
Canada was ranked second in 2016.
Damn, these rankings really are scary.
Like I said, if I live in the second best country to live in … the world really sucks
Canada is the 12th safest country in the world. The US is 129th.
We have it very good here.
Can we just stop comparing ourselves to the States for once? Our Literally Fascist Neighbours don't warrant any consideration when discussing the quality of life here.
Which segments of the population are you choosing to speak for here, exactly?
The people who complain about Canada often hold the US up as an example of what Canada should be because they can have guns, have hate speech, and are free to discriminate against people they hate
I hold any country in western Europe as being at least twice as good as here now.
That we ranked above any of them is an outright joke. I'm only still here because of family and relationships.
I'm about to shake your world. Ready?
What you believe doesn't change reality. Your feelings don't matter.
Sorry.
In some aspects sure. Try being at the beginning of your adult life right now. Housing, the cost of food/goods, a lethargic/apathetic government. Those things should be enough evidence to say that we aren't the second best country in the world.
And yet...they aren't. Canada ranks very high in quality of life, personal and religious freedom, and many other measures. There are problems, yes, but they are problems effecting the second best country in the world to live in. People living other places are dying to come here.
Perspective.
