Easily Canada... I wouldn't raise my kids anywhere else in the western hemisphere. And for good reasons:

Welcome to Canada

http://www.bacad.com/about_canada.html

Canada is a favourite destination for immigrants who wish to find a new home, start a new life, build a career or develop a new business in a friendly environment renowned for its political and economic stability. As new Canadian citizens, you can enjoy the freedom and luxury of our lifestyle; great outdoor living, an excellent education system and medical care for the entire family
.

Geographically the second largest country in the world (after former USSR) and 35th in terms of its population of almost 32 million people, Canada has been ranked number one for many years by the United Nations as one of the “Best places in the world to live”. Over and above its natural beauty and unpolluted environment, Canada is proud of its multi-ethnic population that enjoys the freedom and rights only a stable democratic system can offer

Renowned for its unequalled standard of living, Canada provides safe neighborhoods even in large urban area, excellent public medical care for everyone, a strong banking system, world class education and universities as well as dynamic opportunities to establish successful businesses. This country was founded and built by immigrants and to this day continues to welcome them warmly

Canada has the highest standard of living in the world

The United Nations survey has placed Canada as the best country to live for several consecutive years. The criteria used by them in arriving at this conclusion were the quality of life, health, education and personal development

Economy
In the past several years Canada declared billions of Dollars of budget surplus, due largely to strong economic growth and increased employment.

Canada provides a cost-competitive and future-oriented environment for business: quality, productive workers, a competitive tax system, prime locations for Research and Development activities, abundant energy at low prices and an excellent infrastructure.

Canada’s Economy Continues to Deliver:
Canadian Minister of Finance recently announced that, once again (since 1997), Canada was the only Group of Eight (G-8) country to post a surplus. This will be another consecutive year that the Canadian government has stayed out of deficit – the longest streak of surpluses since Confederation. Canada is enjoying one of the best financial records whose highlights include:


  • A strong credit rating, which has paved the way for consistently low interest rates, especially for homebuyers;
  • The best record in the G-8 for growth in living standards;
  • Strong export growth;
  • A revamped Canada Pension Plan, making Canada one of the few countries in the world with a rock-solid public pension system;
  • More than $100 billion in cumulative tax cuts, with tax cuts in every budget since 1996, with a primary focus on middle and low income families; and
  • More than $200 billion in investments for Canadian’s highest social and economic priorities, such as health care and Equalization; children and families; learning skills and innovation; affordable housing, community infrastructure and the environment;
  • And the best is yet to come. The progress we’ve made provides us with the foundation we need for what we still seek to achieve. In short, our fiscal responsibility has made our ambitious social and economic agenda possible.

Employment
Having created hundreds of thousands of new jobs in different industries each year, Canada has the best job-creation record in the G-8.
Canada’s unemployment rate is under 7% on average.

Health Care
Immigrants as well as Canadian citizens can join the health care system provided to them at little cost. The Canadian health care system is one of the best in the world. The health care professionals in Canada are among the most highly trained in the world.

Education

Canada
is among the G-8 countries that spend the most per capita on education. And the investment yields a world-class performance from Canadian teenagers, who consistently produce among the highest international reading, mathematics and science test scores in studies conducted by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
A degree from Canadian university is recognized world-wide and is widely regarded as one’s passport to successful and prosperous career. Affordable tuition fees reflect the country’s longstanding commitment to universal access to a quality education. And the diversity of the student population is an extension of Canadian society itself, as universities and colleges host roughly 180,000 international students annually.
Elementary and Secondary education at public schools is free in Canada. For those who prefer a fee-paying private system there are also a number of good private schools.

Canada has one of the highest standards of education, particularly at the post secondary level. It is the home of well-known universities such as McGill, Queens, University of British Columbia (UBC), McMaster, University of Toronto, and many others. An immigrant pays the low tuition fees offered to Canadian citizens and permanent residents.


Safety on the streets
Major Canadian cities such as Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal have attracted many immigrants. In this era of fear and insecurity, Canada has been able to maintain an enviable record of law and order and public safety.


Environment
Canadians work hard to keep their environment clean. Maintaining clean air and water is a national priority.

Canada has a high quality of life and is consistently ranked as one one of the best places to live in the world. Canada is a land of diverse cultures and has one of the highest per capita immigration rates in the world.

It is also one of the wealthiest countries and has the world's second largest reserves of oil behind Saudi Arabia

I'll be in Australia in August for the 1st time as my best buddy met an Aussie girl and fell in love. They will be getting married during the middle of August.

The best man has to show.. :cool:

And I booked two weeks, can't wait.

As I live in Canada, I would have to say here, but I have to admit, I lived/worked in Las Vegas for just over a year and that is the friendliest city I have EVER been in my life......

very true
especially as more members on this forum are from the US than anywhere else by a country mile
plus even some high ranking US politicians don't even have passports or have even travelled out the country they're born :rolleyes:
ignorance is bliss i guess

And yet you sent me a PM last year stating you wanted to come to the US with your Family... It was Florida wasn't it?

If hypocrites could fly, DNF would be a Airport.

I feel the same way, except I would still go for holiday to the US, but the amount of narrow minded and dumb people scares me, plus I bloody hate the flag waving nationalists, be proud of what YOU have achieved... So +1 for Canada, but I'd rather choose a country in Europe or in Asia to be honest..
