Great addition to the thread, a really mature approach.
Do you say this because you're one of the delusional people that think Canada > else?
Based on fact, I can tell you, the economy here stinks. Opportunities elsewhere are abundant, and will provide for huge career growth and significant immediate pay raises and quality of living increases and I currently earn within top 5% of people in Vancouver, based on some recently released surveys (take that information with a grain of salt, I don't believe personally as I can't see how ppl can live the lifestyles they do if I earn more than 95% of ppl)
But then again, based on your comments, I can tell you're mostly sheltered. Such as your Paris comment. Parts of Paris are a dump, your little fuck buddy was probably low brow and lived in a bad neighbourhood - ill advised. Also, yes, huge social and racial tensions all around France, huge problems amongst different religious / immigrant groups.
And yes, French taxes are high - blame socialism, it doesn't work, low working hours, high pay = France. I wouldn't live there.
On the flip side, other European cities are fucking awesome, I will be paying less tax in Europe than here, and we claim to be a 'low tax' jurisidiction, well, that's just not the case.
Also, remember not to compare 20% VAT with our pst/gst system, our system sucks, as we all found out in recent years. VAT is way better.
