Many of my immigrant friends who came here love the country for its financial improvement opportunities but find the country to lack a heart especially since 'community' seems to be an evasive word here compared to where they came from. Many here only feign empathy for others but in practical means, empathy is to be found somewhere with Waldo in the Bermuda Triangle.
All are shocked by the taxes, annoyed that their families back home ask for money because *wink* working in Canada does not equal millionaire and then realize they're as poor here as they were back home but what Canada does offer is better rights & protections for them.
After surveying most of them, all but a few would say their plan is to eventually go back to their country of origin with what they earn in Canada which is pretty much inline with that people like Mike's uncle are doing.
Even for me, I've always wondered why I've been miserable lately and then it all made sense: Working too much, too much taxes, too much density, not enough small business, way too much real estate corruption, the list goes on.
I'm pretty sure once both my parents pass, it'll be adios Canada for me.

Where might one go for a better quality of life? Serious question as it's something I'd consider at some point if there was something viable.
