Canada has been voted the Best Country in the world to live.\nFor the past several years, a United Nations survey has found Canada to be the best place in the world to live. Canada earned particularly high marks for its access to education, high life expectancy, and low crime and violence rates. In addition, Canada's largest cities Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal have been recognized as world class cities in which to live and work, for their cleanliness and safety and for their cultural activities and attractive lifestyles\n\nValue for money\n\nOur cost of living is very low compared to the UK and the US. This also means that you get a great deal for other expenses like accommodation, food etc etc.\n\nHigh Standard of Living\n\nCanadians enjoy a standard of living among the highest in the world. More than 65 per cent of Canadians own their own homes, with a higher percentage owning durable goods, such as automobiles, refrigerators, washing machines, television, telephones and radios.\n\nA welcoming environment\n\nCanada is a multi-cultural country and has a tradition of accepting and encouraging multicultural diversity.\n\nBeautiful environment\n\nCanadians place a high value on their natural environment. There are currently 39 national parks and national park reserves in Canada, located in every province and territory. Each province and territory has also designated areas as provincial parks, wilderness areas, ecological and nature reserves. There are over 2000 of these designated areas across the country.\n\nPeople who come to Canada will witness one of the most beautiful, natural environments in the world. Canada is also a country of diverse geography, and there is much to experience in its great outdoors: from the lush coastline of British Columbia, the majestic Rocky Mountains of Alberta, the big skies of the prairies, to the 'maple sugar country' in the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence and the rugged hills and picturesque coastline of the Atlantic provinces\n\n\nA safe place to study\n\nCanada is well-known as a safe, and peaceful society. Canadian crime rates have been falling steadily since the 1990s. Unlike our US neighbours to the south, firearms are strictly controlled and generally are not permitted in Canada.\n\nA High-Tech country\n\nCanada is an international leader in computer and information technologies and has a reputation for excellence in such sectors as telecommunications, transportation and engineering; and specifically, aerospace, urban transport, microelectronics, medical devices, advanced software, hydroelectric and nuclear power, lasers and opto-electronics, biotechnology, food and beverage processing, geomatics; and ocean and environmental industries.

There's a whole nation to the north of you that has a higher standard of living, its economy is in better shape, the minimum wage is higher, has universal health care instead of a bloated military that spends trillions on weapons that are never used, is not obsessed with imposing one religion or another on its multicultural citizens, is present as peacekeepers in the world's hotspots, has soldiers coming home dead or injured due to American "friendly fire", has marriage for all, and is a parliamentary democracy. It's the second largest nation on the planet, shares the North American continent, and by and large, most of its population has no desire to be American.

The "Number 1" comes from patriotism. there is no such thing as perfect country or "Number 1". The only advantage of the United States is based on its strong means to preach such statements: Media, the spoken language, and its strong involvement in foreign affairs.\nAnd to whom ever said that the states is "the best country" to live in: a false statement. i strongly disagree, i guess you've never been to Canada and not aware of the Social advantages provided to every walking creature on land.

India is the Best! Yes, Given the culture that is thousands of years old, yet, relevant till today. It is a land of riches, which was looted by the Muslims and British. But it will rise again! you all can already see, it is the fastest growing country. IT is a very strong nation, with ethics and it is worlds largest democracy. It is the only Country in the world that shows immence tolerance, which you cannot find anywhere else! INDIA IS GREAT. AND IT IS RISING! AND IT WILL LEAD THE WORLD INTO ETERNAL ENLIGHTMENT! JAI HIND
