Reasons to be jealous of Canada, eh
July 2, 2017 at 2:35 am
So...this thread will be mostly relevant to Americans. I am super jealous of Canada. If I could afford to move there I absolutely would. Here are some reasons I'm jealous.
Canada has a better healthcare system and ours is likely to get even worse soon.
Justin Trudeau, I mean, what's not to love about him. He's smart. He's sexy. He's pro lgbt rights, pro women's rights, pro breastfeeding, pro science. Did I mention sexy? If you don't know how sexy he is, check this out
And of course poutine

I'm sure there are many more reasons.
Feel free to list reason why you think Canada is great. (Don't say snow, that's the only downfall D: )

Canada is great because it seems to be the single largest source of Canadians who are, without question, the nicest people anywhere. Two examples:
1) A few years ago, I ordered some specialty hardwoods from a Canadian firm for a project. Twenty minutes after placing the order online, I got a phone call - not an email, a phone call - from an absolutely delightful gentleman who wanted to confirm the order, go over shipping, expected arrival, etc. The day the wood was supposed to arrive, the same man called again to make sure it got there. It hadn't and he sounded absolutely devastated, assuring me that this wasn't the way his firm treated people, and he hoped I wouldn't hold it against him personally. I was a bit flummoxed over someone being so concerned that an order hadn't arrived on a specified day (as we all know, they never do), but I assured him that I wasn't angry, upset, worried, etc. After we'd hung up, the wood arrived about an hour later. He'd been so nice, I felt obligated to call him back and tell him everything was fine. He actually choked up thanking me for taking the time to let him know. The next day, I got a call from the man's superior, apologizing again, this time for putting me to the trouble of having to call back and tell the first man things were fine.
2) More recently, the wife and I were dining out, and I'd overheard the people a few tables over tell the waiting that they were on holiday from Canada. At one point in the meal, their daughter (12, 13 thereabouts) got up from the table and pushed her chair in. The chair bumped the table and the girl apologized. To the table.
Yup. Nicest people anywhere.

Liege waffles and maple syrup bacon.
I can also confirm that Canadians are the nicest people I've ever met.

More trees to cut down.

One of my best friends is also Canadian and she's a sweetheart.
They're very polite people.
There are two fantastic Age of Empires II players who are Canadian (my favorite game).
Canada has some fantastic comedians.
Canada is also somewhere I would like to move.
And holy shit I've never seen cheesy gravy fries before I wanna try!
I've had cheesy fries, and I've had gravy fries, but I've never had cheesy gravy fries!
