Are Japan and South Korea safer than Canada?
Canada's crime rate is VERY high. Just murder and gun crime rates are lower than in the USA but their drug and property crime rates are really high and it's entire crime rate per capita is even higher than in the USA. Especially, Vancouver's auto theft rate is the highest in North America. Per capita, Vancouver's auto crime rate is three times higher than in Seattle which is just three hours away from it. Canadians are losers who never open their eyes and they only look at America and compare Canada to it and then think Canada is the best country in the world if they ever see something that is better in Canada than in America. I have been to Canada, Japan and Korea. You can safely walk downtown after midnight in Seoul or Tokyo. Their cities are very advanced and well developted. Their cities look really modern and the technology is really impressing. They are not like Vancouver or Toronto which are just ugly and full of crackheads and homeless people. Also, you can see many people playing badminton and soccer at major parks at night in Seoul or Tokyo. I felt absolutely no danger there at night. But if you go to Stanley park or downtown Vancouver or Toronto at 12 am alone, everyone will think you are really crazy. Canadians never see outside their country. They only look at America and get jealous. Look at Seoul Korea. Look at Tokyo. They are very beautiful. They are much safer. They are more advanced and well managed. Look at Vancouver. They are ugly and crackheads and homeless people are all around it and transportation is like $hit. I will never waste a penny to drive up to Canada again.
What are the best cities for living and working in Canada?
Since I've lived in Ottawa for 4 years now I feel compelled to tell you a little bit about it, then I'll get on with other notable cities in Canada. Ottawa is well-known for being a Government town. As the capital of Canada there are obviously very many Government buildings around. If you're looking to work in Government this is probably the best place. It's very close to Gatineau (QC) as well which offers housing at lower prices. Ottawa actually also has a pretty big StartUp community. Once you get involved - you'll quickly get to know everyone and find out how exciting (in my personal opinion) it is. Check out my answer on the best cities for Startups in Canada for a little bit more info: @Hailley Griffis's answer to What are the best startup/tech cities in Canada? ) Ottawa is beautiful with lots of history to see (endless museums and Parliament buildings!) On top of that there are always lots of festivals happening. Cities that there is a lot of 'buzz' around: Montreal I've visited Montreal a couple of times and I absolutely love it. It is noticably larger than Ottawa (which is why people will drive from Ottawa to Montreal for weekend trips - it only takes about 2 hours) which makes it a neat destination for interesting restaurants, a great nightlife, concerts as well as great shopping. Montreal is one of the only Canadian cities that has ever reminded me of Europe, they have the copplestone streets and older buildings that give it a little bit more of the European feel. What I've heard from people living in Montreal is that if you live downtown, it's amazing! If you live anywhere else, it's better to have a car to get around because the transit is a little slow. Vancouver I've had quite a few friends that attended the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Everyone that has been there praises Vancouver for it's green spaces and healthy lifestyle. Everyone is supposed to be very active and the community revolved around maintaining that high level of exercise and health. On top of that, Vancouver is stunning and is home to some pretty cool Canadian companies. HootSuite is one of the tops ones. Other cities that I've heard good things aobut in no particular order: Calgary (Lots of fun things to do in a growing city) Edmonton (It gets cold here but the residents love it!) Toronto (A very busy city - the largest in Canada) Quebec City (Another beautiful city) Waterloo (Famous for their StartUps)
Are there Canadian city equivalents to US cities?
It’s difficult to find good equivalents for Canada US pairs. The best one I can think of is Toronto/Chicago as they are both large Great Lakes cities and have a similar look and to some extent feel about them.Looking at the top 10 Canadian cities1 Toronto, Ontario 5,429,5242 Montreal, Quebec 3,519,5953 Vancouver, British Columbia 2,264,8234 Calgary, Alberta 1,237,6565 Edmonton, Alberta 1,062,6436 Ottawa–Gatineau, Ontario/Quebec 989,6577 Winnipeg, Manitoba 711,9258 Quebec City, Quebec 705,1039 Hamilton, Ontario 693,64510 Kitchener–Waterloo–Cambridge, Ontario 470,015I would pair them up this way :Toronto/ChicagoMontreal / odd mix of New Orleans and BostonVancouver / PortlandCalgary / DallasEdmonton / MinneapolisOttawa / not Washington …probably a techy state capital like Sacramento.Quebec City / no comparableHamilton/PittsburghKWC / any large generic techy collegy burbIn most cases the US cities are a lot bigger and have bigger crime and social problems, they also have more industry and individuals with tremendous wealth who can fund/donate to things. Climate isn’t considered in any of these comparisons as the US climate is almost always milder.
