amorphous_singh, you're completely right... you did generalize very much. The fact

:-) Yeah I put that generalization proviso in because I accepted that I was making a generalization.

But talking of generalizations .....

remains that Canada is probably THE MOST accepting when it comes to multiculturalism. I walk down the street and say 'hello' to complete strangers, and I don't get a dirty look because I'm not Caucasian. It must be the most diverse country in the world, and one of the nicest places to live. Let's not forget that West Vancouver was

"The most diverse country in the world"? I'm not sure how this measure of diversity is determined - but the previous comment seems like a generalization to me as well. I'm going to assume that in this context we're talking about diversity in terms of race/ethnicity.

Sure you're diverse and I've seen this myself from the West Coast to the East. But the most diverse? The UK is diverse; Australia is diverse; Brazil is diverse as are many other places.

rated the best place to live in the world for how many years running, and still is in the Top 5.

And Norway and Australia have also featured in such lists.

And many Americans will also argue that they are the greatest place in the world - often from privileged positions without any real appreciation of what it's like for those that are not so privileged.

The reason I posted in the first place was to just point out that; I accept Canada is a great place; but surely to say the Greatest is undeterminable; and by way of pointing this out; especially with regard to the original posters statement "the priveleged life that I have" that it wasnt the same for all people.

Hanji... I am Canadian, and very, VERY proud of it. Happy Canada Day to all Canadians. (I'm a day late, I know.)

No problem with that. Many of the Canadians I meet are very very proud.

"(Waheguru) keep our land glorious and free."

I'd like this the whole world over. Also concur with Nama Singh's comments.

So just to make sure no one gets the wrong idea - I like Canada and I'm certainly not attacking it, as it has many good points; but there's no need to go over board and believe that it's the greatest place on the Earth; as I have seen people who are destitude, suffering and need help and support. We all have these problems. Only when we actually have Utopia can someone make a claim for the "Greatest Place".

And having said all of that I shall be over there for a while in a few weeks time and I shall say hello to random strangers in downtown Toronto ;-)

And to repeat - I quite like Canada. But then there's much I like about many different places. Heck I even like the UK :-)))))

this reminds me of the start of the 4th ashtpadhi....

He obtains ten things, and puts them behind him;

for the sake of one thing withheld, he forfeits his faith.

THank WAheguru for what He has given..

I agree with Khalsa jio, this nation is so great. being born and raised here in Canada myself I can appreciate the amazingness of this country and what it has offered. There are so many people so ready to put Canada down, but living here, I can say first hand this is one of the greatest countries to live in.

Thank you Canada for everything :doh:
