Here's the big difference with Canada.

It has lots of space. And a very small population relative to that amount of space and land. 35 million?

So it is way more pleasant just living here. You have open space, lots of personal space when you go to malls or supermarkets. Less stressful.

And of course because of the abundance in space, the cost of housing and cars is way cheaper.

Quality of life is absolutely better than in Singapore.

even with the crime stuff, granted the laws are lax, but by and large the density of people is so low, that the rate of crime is kept low that way. If you dont go to the downtown area, you're not going to see the homeless and druggies.

When everyone has to put up with each other close up - in MRT train, in shopping centres, in buses, basically everywhere, thats where flashpoints take place. Hot, humid, tired, stressed, irritated, then you have people talking loudly right next to you......singaporeans you will know what I mean. And with foreigners......speaking in foreign languages and accents......and difference in cultures and values.......close up.....proximity......ain't good.

In canada everyone has their own space. So you dont feel it.
