I saw this on Quora and I couldn't have said it better myself:
I had the misfortune of living in that SHITHOLE — yes, Canada is a massive overhyped frozen SHITHOLE!
- BUREAUCRACY: From the way they pay taxes, to their banking system, to getting a permit, to whatever you can think that involves dealing with the government…. expect TEDIOUS BUREAUCRACY and INEFFICIENCY courtesy of Canadian paper pushers. THE MOST INEFFICIENT BREED OF PEOPLE I’VE EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH!
- A CULTURALLY STAGNANT SOCIETY: Name a cool Canadian painter, a cool Canadian musician that does not copy Americans, a cool Canadian festival, a cool Canadian ANYTHING!
- Canadians on Canada being cool: WOW CANADA IS SO WEIRD, MILK COMES IN BAGS AND YOU HAVE THIS AWESOME FOOD CALLED POUTINE (which is soggy French fries swimming in some greasy sauce), and we GOW to hospitals for free EEHH!!! WEEEIIIRRDDDDD!!!
- THEIR IDENTITY IS BASED ON HATING THE USA AND TRYING NOT TO BE THE USA: While Americans spend one minute per year thinking about Canada, in Canada everything is about how horrible Americans are and how bad the US is! Of course, there are SHITLOADS of them moving to the US!
- EXPENSIVE CRAPPY HOMES WORTH MILLIONS: If you have the misfortune of living there and you are not rich, expect having to pay rent for the rest of your life.
- HORRIBLE WEATHER: Enjoy brutally cold winters that can kill you (the only time of the year where it gets sunny it’s brutally cold outside), rainy dark depressing springs, muggy cloudy summers, and then two beautiful weeks of fall!!
- SHIT HEALTHCARE: Only in Canada you pay taxes on healthcare, and then have to wait 6 months to see a doctor! (TONS OF AMERICANS WHO WERE SOLD ON THE MIRACLES OF THE CANADIAN HEALTHCARE SYSTEM ARE GOING TO HAVE THEIR HEARTS BROKEN).
- SHIT INFRASTRUCTURE: Most cities lack efficient public transportation, their cities were built like those shitty sprawling American shitholes full of parking lots and giant highways! At least sprawling cities in the US are generally sunny and green. Most cities in Canada look as if shitholes like Columbus Ohio were located in the vast emptiness of Siberia! Highways full of potholes, railway is a big sad joke.
- EXPENSIVE BAD INTERNET: There are only TWO internet providers in all of Canada. ROGERS AND BELL. And they jack the prices up and there is nothing you can do because…. THEY OWN THE MARKET! oh yeah yeah I know Canadians talk about Virgin mobile and blah blah, enjoy a cheap internet connection that never works the minute you’re out of a city! Their telecommunications are SO BAD, last year a stormed left Canada without internet for like three days!
- VERY HIGH COST OF LIVING: Basically work to pay taxes and get by at the end of the month.
- FORGET QUALITY FOOD: A hostile weather like that means no good quality veggies, basically everything comes from Mexico, Guatemala, California (And it’s frozen until put on display at the supermarket).
- SAY BYE TO LIVING IN A DYNAMIC SOCIETY: Nothing works as it should, and because of the nanny state, everything takes forever because it must go thru the local government employee!!
I could go on and on and on….
