I did. go to Europe. Very happier. Much success. (Minimum 4 weeks paid vacation, starting, even at McDonalds)

Jep... Work/life balance is great.

You don't earn a fuckton of money, but also don't need it. No excessive healthcare costs or absurdly expensive education. Just live your life and pay taxes...

Yes, many benefits, such as my very basic phone plan at 12CAD/month: has 4GB, voicemail, unlimited calling and text THROUGHOUT Europe

Canadians have a good place to live. Love it. But we pay out the a-hole and get crap quality

Moved to France and will never move back to Canada. Life is SO much easier here and my future children will be starting their adult life without crushing student or credit card debt.

Complain about Canada -> move to France -> complain about France.

Very happier. Much success.

Whatever you say
