Best country to live in?

The situation for Natives has substantially improved, and continues to get better. I agree that the Canadian Government should do more to help Natives avoid this cycle of poverty, but as it stands now, the opportunities are there. I live in a poor neighbourhood with tons of Natives, some of which are happy they have the reserves to fall back on; others are apathetic, and some think they deserve more privileges. In any event, Canada is still the best place in the world to live in, regardless of its questionable treatment of Natives.

By the way, I've taken courses on the history of Natives, taught by a Mik'maq teacher.
 
Ah, well then you're more of an authority then me lol.

And yes of course, I wouldn't trade Canada for anything. One of my favourite moments, Canada day this year: around 80,000 people(a good portion of the city's population) standing up to sing Oh Canada. Made me tear up a little.

They meant gyros (Greek), otherwise doner (Turkish), otherwise shawarma (Arabic). This is the big cone shaped lump of meat rotating on a vertical skewer; it is the most popular kebab in the world; I of course, am very well acquainted with kebabs.
 
Ahhhmmm!

A few facts about Tahiti that are even more reasons to live there....

There is no sales tax in Tahiti. However, a special 2% reduced rate Value Added Tax (VAT) applies to all rented accommodations (hotel rooms, pensions and family stays), and room and meal packages -- both American Plan (3 meals) and Modified American Plan (breakfast and dinner). A 4% VAT rate applies to purchases in shops, stores and boutiques. A 6% VAT rate applies to bars, excursions, car rentals, snacks and restaurant involving meals not included in a room-meal package.

Tahiti is a 12-month destination, with predictably tropical weather year-round. The average year-around temperature is 79 degrees Fahrenheit. Fresh tropical breezes and ceiling fans are for the most part sufficient to maintain comfort indoors. Many hotels are air-conditioned. Water temperatures average 79 degrees in the winter and 84 degrees during the summer, with less than a degree of variation from the surface down to a depth of 150 feet.


The most frequently visited islands are, Bora Bora, Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea, Manihi and Rangiroa. Increasingly, more travelers are discovering the incredible and distinctive beauty that is found throughout the archipelagoes that comprise Tahiti and Her Islands.



The number of people living in Tahiti is just over 220,000. About 75% are Polynesian; 15% European and about 10% Chinese.

I've lived in Canada and Germany, and Canada is without a doubt the better of the two. Everything just feels open and light hearted in Canada, the people are nice, the scenery is gorgeous (especially if you live near the Rockies).

I'd love to spend some time in Iceland though, heard lots of great things about it and know a few people who live there.

Is Canada religious?

There's no religion in government in Canada. The majority of the public claims they're Christian, although there are large groups of Arabs, Chinese, etc, in Canada. It's very multicultural, so there's lots of different religions.

One thing I do like about Canada (well, I like alot of things but primarily) I like the Canadian Wild. I've never been there but I have always wanted to, just go there and survive on my own, looks great.
 
Looks like a lot of smart sciforum members live in Canada...is the cold making the brain run faster? :D
