One Last Post: Why I'm Staying

I decided to make one last post to this blog, and it's about why I'm staying in Canada. From an objective standpoint, Canada isn't without it's problems and disappointments. Winters are brutal here in Fredericton, NB. But if you look at where Canada ranks in the OECD's 'Better Life' index, which is a measure of 'quality of life' based on official data from all OECD countries, you'll know why I'm staying. Canada ranks second in the world, next to and almost equal to Australia.
In other words, Canada isn't perfect, certainly, but there's really no "better" place to go in the world. Life has its problems and disappointments no matter where you live. But I can say for sure that, in Canada, I'm happy enough.
