Canada

Living in Canada is great because Canada has a strong job market and people can live and work in peace and contentment. The health care in Canada is very convenient, so people living in Canada don't need to worry about diseases. Canada is a melting pot of multiculturalism, where we can live together with people of all nationalities in the world. We are able to understand and learn about the great cultures of the world. Canada is also a country with a low crime rate. The people's living standards are well-known in the world, and society and life is stable. The Canadian government also has great social plans, excellent education, and rich natural resources. Canada is really great, but cities in Canada are mostly very cold, and winter is long. It takes a long time to adapt to this climate. Another disadvantage of living in Canada would be the different percentages of sales taxes. Different provinces have different sales taxes (GST, PST, HST) which leads to unfairness toward the people living in different provinces and territories.
