I spent some time in Toronto once, and could not get over how clean, safe and well-run the place was, and how fundamentally decent and level-headed the people were. For a while, I considered emigrating to Canada, and even started the paperwork for my landed residency status, but I was in the middle of school at the time and that took precedence over everything. Eventually it fell through the cracks. And no, I wasn't trying to avoid being sent to Viet Nam. I had already been there. Canada is like the US, but with health care and no guns.
