What do you like about living in Canada?

I have been in Canada almost 5 years, 3 years in Saskatoon and 2 years in Oakville. I like Canada as I can feel something different.

First, it is about living in this environment. There are not so many high buildings. I can see trees and lawns everywhere instead of concrete. I could feel and touch nature in the world, blue sky and fresh air. Canadians love nature, they like to play and exercise outside in summer, they take care of small animals that live in trees and lawns. I like it.

Second, Canadians are kind. People always say hello when meeting strangers on the street. If you have some problems on the street, like car problems, you will get a hand from others you never knew them before. We can see some crazy people sometimes, but most Canadians are kind. I think it is due to their faith.

Third is about the government. They are not perfect. But I can feel they are trying to help people who have living problems. If your income is lower, they will help you to overcome the hard time. They are trying to balance the rich and poor, and focus on what people can enjoy in their life with their family. Sometimes they make mistakes as we cannot see the whole picture. The world is so messy at this moment.

Above are the reasons why I like Canada.
