Wow. When my parents were moving out of their home country, they had three offers:

  1. Australia
  2. United States
  3. Canada

I'm am grateful every single day that they opted to not go to the USA, and instead landed in Canada. I feel like my life is infinitely better here. Not just because of what you said, but for lots of different reasons. This feeling gets reinforced constantly. :/

Have an upvote, but be wary of getting too complacent in Canada. It tends to behave more like a glorified extension of the US, at least for the past few decades.

Have an upvote for not saying some stupid shit like "upgoat" or "upvoat".

I was born in the US.

When you know that, wherever you are in the world, you have a responsibility to spend your time indexing and counting your personal assets and reporting that back to your birthplace and, in some cases, to even pay tax thereto, you quickly realize how much you're really fucked over just because you were born in the wrong place.
