Canada vs. U.S.A. Which is better off right now?
Forget Florida or NYC. Move to Las Vegas.
Of those three dismal choices I'd probably take Vegas, too...

Learn how to mix a few cocktails and you can pull 6 figures in Vegas. Coupled with low taxes and a barrage of coupons for cut-price (and free) services from casinos desperate to tempt the local population into gambling addiction, you have a great platform for anyone with half a brain and with a modicum of diligence.
I'm thinking short-to-medium term strategy with my suggestion.
The USA, all you have to do is sneak across the border and hide long enough and people want to give you citizenship. I bet Canada just sends them home
I meant aside from the U.S.

Living there is an entirely different experience.
So don't gamble. Simple enough vice to avoid. The heat is largely mitigated by the near-ubiquitous A/C.
And there's nothing to do in Vegas?
Really, there isn't that much to do in Vegas. If only the Grand Canyon was closer than a four-hour drive (I did the drive, so I know how long it takes). There is Hoover Dam, and there's the desert, and a few museums, and many cabaret-type shows.
There's no comparison in the "something to do" department between Vegas and NYC.
Vegas reminds me more of Blackpool than it does of London.
I would say Camden Town, in London, is probably one of the best place to get a wide variety products from different countries. New York doesn't have a comparable place like that. Camden Town, is quite crowded, though.

Spoken like a tourist :p
Seriously, there's no shortage of things to do in Vegas 24/7, and that's without setting foot on the strip. The deciding factor is basically what your tastes and preferences are, but there's something for everyone.
My personal favourite pastime was going to the almost always empty cinemas to watch movies on the big screen. For a movie-loving aspie, that's literally heaven.
It's more a halfway house between the two. It's closer to London's Broadway than it is Blackpool's seafront.
London is pretty crowded throughout. If I were to recommend against moving anywhere, it'd be The Big Smoke.
There's something to be said for living within striking distance of London, however.
^ I was more impressed with Hoover Dam than the strip.
If I lived there it wouldn't be for the city but for the surrounding desert area. There's miles and miles of open desert out there to explore plus Lake Mead. That, and Mt. Charleston where you can go mountain hiking, skiing and snowboarding, isnt too far away.

None. We are the only one. All others have walls, fences and deport illegal immigrants, along with having really hard to meet requirements to become a citizen.

Well, as of recent Canada's been quite welcoming to refugees fleeing America, but to be fair they were already refugees when they arrived in the US, so they're probably being viewed somewhere between undocumented migrants and refugees.

Canada wouldn’t let me go live there.
If you’re a us citizen Canada won’t let you live there unless your rich or offer a skill they need.

There is another way, but you'll need to find another Canadian to marry cuz I'm spoken for.
It is fair to point out that Canada's immigration policies tend to be focused on skills and what one can bring to the country if they don't qualify for refugee status.
I'm genuinely interested in how Canada would respond to a (hypothetical) refugee crisis on our border. Would we welcome Americans fleeing? Would we welcome some but not others? Or would we turn them all away and demonstrate we never had any right to be smug towards the rest of the world?

I'm not sure he was caught with his pants down, the government responded as they felt morally obliged to. Some of the right whined, but that's what the right does over anything the Liberals do.
That, and the mostly African refugees crossing in Manitoba are who I was alluding to.
