Oh Canada our home and native land the
True North strong and free indeed
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
reasons to move to Canada for this list
we’re looking at reasons why you might
want to move to the country north of the
USA – some outsiders Canada might seem
like a magical place where beavers
outnumber people it rains maple syrup
and the streets are paved with Kraft
Dinner we are attempting to attract the
diet now with a bowl of Compton oh and
while Canadians do get a chuckle out of
these hilariously exaggerated
stereotypes there is so much more to the
country than its semi-aquatic rodents
and puts in so raise your double-doubles
and toast the reasons that make living
in the great white north so great I am
as serious as a poutine shortage in
Checotah me during a curling bonspiel I
don’t know what any of those words mean
number 10 multiculturalism suffice it to
say that we adopted a policy of
multiculturalism as opposed to the
melting part of your American model
visit any major city in Canada Toronto
Montreal Vancouver and you’ll feel like
you’re taking a tour of more than just
one country neighborhoods like Chinatown
and Little Italy and even a Koreatown in
Toronto can be found in those major
cities and provide an immersive cultural
experience for tourists and natives
alike but every nationality and
background imaginable is spread out
throughout the cities – nothing’s
absolute but when it comes down to it
most Canadians aren’t afraid of
diversity in Canada people don’t care
where you’re from as long as you’re
friendly and maybe loan them a smoke or
hand over a doughnut in fact in 2015 in
2016
Canada under Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau welcomed 25,000 Syrian refugees
into the country well speaking of the PM
Trudeau’s cabinet proved to be the most
diverse ever seen in Canadian politics
having an equal number of men and women
some minorities and even former refugees
why was that so important to you
because it’s 2015 number nine abundant
natural resources did you know that
without its freshwater lakes Canada
would actually be smaller than the
United States or that Canada holds seven
percent of the world’s renewable water
supply the third highest next to Brazil
and Russia that’s because the country is
known for its beautiful scenery with too
many lakes streams rivers and wetlands
to count not to mention the fact that
the northern territories are mostly snow
and ice in addition Canada has no
shortage of gold nickel diamonds lead
and crude oil which means other
countries look to Canada for exports of
natural resources thus helping Canada’s
economy to thrive number 8 it’s not yet
overpopulated non Canadian citizens
asked to name places in Canada will come
up with well known cities like Toronto
and Montreal but often know next to
nothing about the rest of the country
what might make this difficult is that
out of the 36 million or so people
residing in the country only about two
and a half million make up the
population of Nunavut the Yukon the
Northwest Territories Prince Edward
Island Newfoundland and Labrador Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick to put that in
perspective there are 13 million people
living just in the province of Ontario
the cities may be crowded but when you
think of Canada as a whole there is
still plenty of unused space especially
in the lesser populated areas further
north none of it is authentic Arctic
it’s got a culture that is still
thriving number seven hockey as long as
there’s ice to skate on
we’re at home here’s one stereotype that
isn’t so exaggerated after all Canadians
love their hockey you got your cana-do’s
and you got your cana-don’ts top shelf
right there number one hotel in a
Canadian you don’t follow hockey
uh-huh contrary to the stereotype not
everyone actually plays the sport but
when there’s a game on TV you know what
many Canadians will be doing from the
Vancouver Canucks to the Montreal
Canadiens some follow the NHL almost
religiously can be White’s hockey games
over sweetheart Canadiens won by the way
so you owe me ten bucks Canada may be
known as a nice and quiet country but
nothing can prepare you to see them
after a hockey game is aired when a
Canadian team loses riots when a
Canadian team wins more riots
needless to say Canadians take their
hockey very seriously conduction to rip
me boys for danger book that we should
go be come on even we need boys just
want city order number six Canada’s
reputation I don’t live in an igloo or
eat blubber or on a dogsled
and I don’t know Jimmy Sally or Susie
from Canada although I’m certain her
really really nice movies and TV shows
have a habit of misrepresenting or at
least grossly exaggerating Canadian
stereotypes you bumped into him and he
apologized and gave you a donut on the
whole so it’s just like home and while
it’s unlikely that you’ll see Canadians
actually slather maple syrup on
everything where do you pour the syrup
or end every sentence with a they’re
hardly gonna hold a grudge over these
stereotypes cuz you know that’s their
deal I moved here from Canada and they
think I’m slow a in fact Canadians
typically find rumors that they live in
igloos or ride polar bears very amusing
since most have never seen a wild polar
bear in their life and probably never
will
freaking polar bears polar bears you
didn’t hear about the polar bear number
five
low violence and crime rates I’d love to
leave my door unlocked when I leave the
house let the Saint Canada
no one’s naive enough to believe that
Canada however friendly is without
violence in crime there are all too
often incidents of theft homicide and
abductions across the country
but Canada looks like Disneyland
compared to crime rates in other
countries you guys are the world’s
leader in handgun violence your health
care system is bankrupt and your country
is deeply divided on almost every
important issue your cops are called
Mounties
for instance in 2010 there were 554
cases of murder in Canada compared to a
whopping twelve thousand or so in the US
around 25,000 in Mexico and at the top
of the list
Brazil with approximately 40,000 Canada
may not be perfect when it comes to
violent crime but what country is there
maybe some bad eggs living among them
but for the most part Canada has no room
for hate in its heart I forgot you guys
don’t have that in Canada number 4
balanced politics we here in Canada know
that America is currently experiencing
political discourse and because of
Canada’s clean air friendly nature good
food and super hot non bananas Prime
Minister many Americans have expressed
interest in moving here Americans often
threatened to move to Canada when
politics at home aren’t going their way
because they think Canadians have it
better than they do they don’t know the
half of it
for starters living in Canada could add
years to your life
since the life expectancy is among the
highest in the world
landing somewhere in the top 10 to 15 at
approximately 81 years old depending on
the source and their rocky mountain
fresh Atlantic warm Pacific and cool
Arctic airs might be contributing
factors need to take time off after
having a baby no problem in Canada you
can take almost a year off though if
there are two parents involved this time
would have to be shared though you’d
still be paid over 50% of your salary
also Canada is a secular country giving
citizens the freedom to follow their own
beliefs and lifestyle choices case in
point
gay marriage has been legal since 2005 a
full decade before the United States now
same-sex partners can marry
love comes in many forms a victory
against hatred and discrimination number
three education because no other place
offer such a world of possibilities as
of 2014
Canada was the seventh most popular
destination for international students
why because young people from all over
the world travel to Canada specifically
to study there diversity is more than
just diversity and culture and color
it’s more about diversity and interest
in Canada you can literally be anyone in
Canada McGill University located in the
city of Montreal is not only one of the
top universities in the country it’s
also typically ranked within the top 30
universities in the world sweetie you
could still go to McGill the Harvard of
Canada otherwise institutions like the
University of Toronto and of British
Columbia are also praised for their
excellence international students mostly
spend just as much on tuition as where
they came from but for Canadian citizens
tuition costs are insanely low number
two it’s peaceful when okay guy was from
Canada said it was probably his fault
for getting robbed and apologized for
wasting my time Oh Canada Canadians are
pretty laid-back on the whole so they’d
much rather do their own thing than pick
fights with other countries
what’s there to fight about anyhow
Canadians are generally a happy lot and
you’d be hard-pressed to find a country
with a major beef against the nation hey
I thought you didn’t like Canada kidding
I love Canada don’t get us wrong the
Canadian military is certainly
considered world-class but Canadians
grow up in a country where people of
different colors cultures religions and
sexualities make up much of the
population more people living in Canada
will have family and other close
connections in other countries leading
to more international exchanges and
relationships if they have to fight they
will but peace kindness and acceptance
are for the most part ingrained in them
from birth in Canada tends to focus
their energy more on peacekeeping
missions than all-out war
you know when you go there’s be nice
there Canadians you’re referring to the
broad generalization that Canadians are
polite yes I am before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions Oh ketchup chips what’s wrong
what I like ketchup chips your milk
comes in bags bags we use kilometers we
use leaders we use grams but the height
thing never made the transition to the
metric system from the old whatever it’s
called system number one free healthcare
matter yeah free healthcare right okay
so the term is rather misleading since
health care in Canada isn’t free per se
on this ruse receiving a colonoscopy
under Canada’s fantastic single-payer
health care system what it means is that
since Canadians all pitch in towards
health care through taxes the cost of
health care becomes significantly
cheaper times like this you got to be
glad to be a Canuck the specifics of
coverage vary between provinces but as a
rule of thumb they get free clinics
which sure inevitably lead to long wait
times but at least those wait times show
that people are taking advantage of the
system in some other countries waiting
rooms are empty because medical
attention is too expensive there’s also
limited coverage for vision and dental
care if we give up our dental plan I’ll
have to pay for Lisa’s braces but what
it really boils down to is that in
Canada the country’s health is in the
hands of its citizens who are therefore
able to get the care they deserve
for next to nothing man those Canadian
doctors bandaged me up reset my jaw put
my shoulder back at socket and they
didn’t even build me idiots do you agree
with our list hey I don’t suppose you’d
want to move to Canada what’s your
favorite thing about Canada for more
