Regarding the whole US-Canada thing: I get International Living magazine, which is basically for US retirees or investors to find overseas places to invest or retire (they're big on Colombia right now). They just came out with their 2011 Quality of Life Index. It's based on cost of living, culture, economy, environment, freedom, health, infrastructure, safety and climate. Number 1 was the US. New Zealand, Malta, France and Monaco round out the top 5. Canada wasn't even in the top 23.
I just thought it was funny a magazine based on moving out of the US rated it #1.
