I know I am bad to remind you this :P But....I would like to share the good of Canada, as many of Malaysian prefer Australia. Too bad that the comparison of the below statistic is not Canada VS Australia. It's Canada VS United State. It shows that Canadian working hour is shorter, healthier, more sexual life, and longer life. Sound lovely, wanna go immediately ya :P
Canada is one of the best place to stay, as the peoples are friendly, living expenses is low, and the quality of life is there.
Let's look at the statistic. The below information is from:
