I'm from Canada, it's a nice place to live. You can do a lot of things without getting bothered too much.

But there is so much tax here, it gets ridiculous. And it's impossible to start a small business here, my dad started a small charter aircraft business a couple years ago and the amount of licenses and approvals he had to get to start it was absolutely ridiculous. My dad already has money from a prior business he had so it didn't really matter, but to the average Joe there is no way he could start a small business here besides something basic like a convenience store. Not a business friendly country from what I've seen. There are a lot more Wal-marts than small businesses thanks to all of our regulations.
