How is the situation in Canada, compared to the US?

Canada is the U.S. put through a low pass filter. Don't expect things to be drastically different here. Just less extreme.

I can think of a number of good reasons why someone would want to live in Canada and not the US

People compare Canada with US. But don’t forget the situation is worse in Europe, and many parts of the world (low salaries, high taxes, expensive housing, inflation and unemployment, bureaucracy and inefficiency, crime and safety problems, general dysfunction etc). Canada is great in many respects.

Canada, like the US, is pretty diverse compared to places like Japan and Iceland. Am I missing something?

Come to Canada if you think it is bad in the US!

AFAIK Canada is even worse than the US right now, or at least Southern Ontario.

Too many Canadians in the US imo.

Ever live in Canada? It's more US-lite than western Europe.

I've been looking to move to Canada (vs moving to US due to more sane social services like healthcare and pension system), is what you are describing present all over Canada or just in some parts of it?
