Is Canada just a significantly worse version of the United States?

 Dear friends: We thought it was a good idea to pass this answer along!

Allan:

As I sit in a restaurant in Victoria right now I am mulling over my last two days here. I had an amazing tandoori dinner last night for 25$US. I went out for a walk at midnight last night with zero fear of being accosted. I saw a movie (evil Dead Rise) for under 20$US with snacks. I was undisturbed by sirens all night. The people here are always kind to me even when I forget and act like an American.

I make this trip several times a year both on and off-season. 

I am always treated like I live here. 

So no. Canada is not a worse version of the US. 

As anyone on here knows about me, they know if I was eligible to emigrate to Canada I would without looking back.

So with all due respect my fellow Americans, please jam your question as far south inside you as you can. 

The more pain the better!
