RE: What country you from and what is the best and worst thing about living there? - The Daily Steem Poll [Question for the Community]

in #fun8 years ago (edited)

I'm from Canada. I love the fact that we're a multicultural country, that we legalized same-sex marriage a long time ago, that we're a liberal and educated population. Education is affordable and our students rarely graduate with tens of thousands of dollars in student loans like in the US. (My two degrees cost less than 30K 15 years ago and were paid off with scholarships and summer jobs within a couple of years after graduation.) We believe we are only as strong as our weakest people and therefore steps are always being taken to improve social services. In the past year, Canada has accepted 25,000 Syrian refugees and we are the richer for it. Many of us have sponsored Syrian families in the same way we sponsored Somalian and Bosnian refugees in previous years. The country is physically beautiful and vast. Montreal and Quebec City are so European in atmosphere and Toronto deserves its Third Best City in the World to Live In (2016) but I choose to stay in Vancouver due to the beauty of the west coast and its mild weather. I've travelled a lot and even lived in other countries but I always return home to Canada.
What I don't like: our sad history with the First Nations people. It's slowly being addressed but more needs to be done if we are to truly deserve the "Best country in the world" lists that Canada often ends up on (usually in the top five year after year).
