> two countries offer entirely different lives

Curious about this. Could you please elaborate?

Like, the differences in lives of a software developer in, say Toronto and San Francisco (other than salary)?

Just curious.

There was an interesting reading a while ago, trying to find. It basically boiled down to "The Canadian dream is move to America". Canada is a middle-class, "middle-all", in fact, country with, in my opinion little excitement. But then again, that's just my personal opinion. Factually, yeah, the US offers more purchase power, better salaries and better mobility.

From a quick search would it be https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31378415 ?

yeah, exactly.

My point is: if you have to leave the US due to immigration, frankly I'd rather go to Britain than Canada. At least I get an exciting change in lifestyle. Canada is too close to America in what it tries to do but fails. UK is f* up, but at least it's Europe

May be the the first time I’ve heard the UK called “exciting”.

lol. fair. London is still better than Toronto tho.
