Hey Northernlights25 you bag of bull crap. Let's see... you seem to have a
whole two themes asides from articles you plagerize. These boring themes
appear to be: "The US is best", and now the new "much better in Australia".
But you can't answer anyone when they ask why you still choose to live in
Canada. If the US is so great... why don't you leave? Canada, the great
nation that is , will be so much greater once you are gone. You also appear
sexually threatened... so bend over and I'll drive you home... all the way
to your great USA.

Still can't seem to answer the simple question of why do you stay in Canada
if you hate it so much and US/Australia so much better. Probably because
those countries won't let you in.

You said it right there - half baked conjectures. Since when was Canada
patterned after the US?

If 90% of your population lives within 100 miles of the border of one of
the most influential nations on earth, some of that is going to rub
off, not by design, but by location.

Narayan,

I don't think it is true that in Australia one's education "makes
or breaks one". On the contrary, being over educated can
be a distinct disadvantage in the (non-academic) marketplace.
Phds can have a hard time finding a job in industry here.

This only goes to show how stupid you are. Australia not too hot? It
gets a hell of a lot hotter than any Canadian city, that's for sure.

I'll ask again for the fun of it...if you dislike Canada so much, why
did you move to Canada? If you're not in Canada, in which city are you
located?

How do you figure out US is the best country?
It's a police state where most people have to work 2-3 part time jobs to
survive and they have to live in trailer parks.
Not to mention that majority of high school students lack basic math skills.
I doubt it....

I have no wish to get involved with the junk that is currently taking place between some on this thread other than to suggest that if people didn't respond to the drivel the troll dishes out he wouldn't jerk off so much at the responses.

Both Australia and Canada are wonderful multicultural countries. Yet neither country offers easy answers to ones immigration questions. The original poster requested answers to specific questions. I don't have those answers. The original responder offered insight on the multiculturalism of both countries. Having spent a decent amount of time in Australia I can offer some insight.

Joe Ausssie is a justly proud citizen of the world. His/her country is a shining example of "roll-up-your-sleeves" working grit, hard play, fairness and independence.

For as much as I can extoll those virtues, I can also say that I feel that Australia has an awesome beauty that is paradoxically to its worst disadvantage. Much of Australia's way of life (and very core) is "the beach" - the big easy! Too much of Australia's lifeblood throbs on the beach. As a result there might be a little too much testosterone and a might too little acceptance of any culture that doesn't fully accept or relate to this "beach culture".

Australia is a multicultural country. I swear that with its infusion of multicultural influence it has the best cuisine on the planet. But embracing multiculturalism for its offerings is different to accepting other cultures "warts and all".

Canada accepts all cultures and treats them with respect to the point of overbearance. Middle Australia (which comprises the great majority of Joe and Sheila Aussie) grudgingly accept, but certainly do not embrace multiculturalism. It is thrust upon them and they deal with it (sometimes grudgingly, sometimes not at all). I say this not as an inditement of Aus - Aus is proud, and Aus is fair - but Aus has a way to go yet to accepting multiculturalism the way Canada does.

Having spent time in both countries I can honestly say that Australia in general seems to be quite a rcaist country, just look at how they treat asylm seekers. Sydney is probably the most intergrated society, but just looking at the racist graffiti sprayed on some of the city walls its even hard to believe.

On a more personal experince of racism in Australia, whilst on a tour the tour guide asked us each where we were from and then as there were no chinese on the tour made derogatory remarks about the chinese for 4 days. he was a dick, but he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this.

Canada however is a much, much more tolerant society, I have hardly heard of any racism since I have been here, although i am sure it exists, as it does everywhere unfortunately.
