Why does Canada have...?

Seems you want to move here.

Want to swap places?

They should have a program where if you want to move to the US all you have to do is find a US citizen willing to switch places with you.

The difference isn't about real estate prices, natural resources, product availability or even healthcare. The difference is people and their perspectives and attitudes. If you don't like where you are, go somewhere else. I'm afraid you will discover that "somewhere else" isn't all that different after a while.

No selection
Today I went to best buy. They don't have the smart cases for the mini, they don't have the iPhone 5 or 5c cases and they barely have any selection. This is in an affluent area of Toronto. How come when people in the US live in areas that are fairly secluded (small towns) seem to have more stuff.

Higher Prices
Back when our dollar was better then the USD we had to pay more for stuff then you did.

Lack of Recognition
As much as I hate Justin Bieber he is a huge celebrity. When books about him were published it said his hometown was Ontario. Thats like saying Obama's hometown is the state of Hawaii. Ridiculous!

High Cost of Living
You would be hard pressed to find a house in Toronto that is detached for less then a million dollars. When I went to Nashville on a tour bus half were Canadians and the other half US citizens. When they drove us to the celebrity's houses the guide was pointing out the "million dollar homes". They were 10k sqf!

/end of rant/

- go to apple

- higher prices because we get paid more. higher minimum wage as well

this is a stupid post, don't even wanna go into it anymore, but just wanna say:

go ahead, move to the states. whatever you do here for a living, you'll probably make 10-20k less over there.

Nah, you can keep him. And take back J.Biebz and Ted Cruz while you're at it.

I would move to Canada in a heartbeat for the right job/situation. I already get some of the experience - worse Tim Horton's - being a mere 30 minutes from Windsor.

Or you can have the best of both worlds. My father is Canadian and my mother is American so I carry both citizenship's. Ah the best of both worlds.

If you are paying 50% tax rate you need a new tax preparer. I find income tax to be on par with the US. Sales tax is about 6% higher, and gas is higher, but its not that bad. Plus the poor get hst checks to pay back the regressive tax.

Maxing out my RRSP really helped my taxes last year. You might want to look into it.
