Definitely one of the perks of a closer society, people trust each other in Canada. Definitely not in places like Toronto, or some of the big cities though.

Canada is safer hands down. Look at the deaths rates in 2011 (since that's the only one I could find) in CA and the US

Canadian healthcare is pretty good.  You have free healthcare and paid healthcare.  Free healthcare is run by the government, but the downfall is the government decides if investing into procedures is worth the investment.  But I guess you run into that with free healthcare.  Glad to see paid healthcare is similar to US's healthcare.

even paid healthcare is a step aboves the united states.its harder for them to fuck you over because you'll get get the same or nearly that from the government run healthcare. Also, in my honest opinion it is DEPLORABLE that you have to pay for child psychologists in the u.s.a, for you to get mental help for children that have already been scared is a low blow in my opinion, and pediatricians are expensive as hell too. it's sad that often times the less fortunate can't even afford to get their young the assistance they TRULY need.
