Mexico has everything, all kind of nature, the FOOD, places to visit, culture and history.
It is dumb to say "I hate it" just because things like government and "danger" because ALL countries have that, ALL OF THEM.
I live in Tijuana and you meet all kinds of people, is really nice, besides the city has a lot of places to have fun.

Canada - Yes. I will never leave this place, ever.
Philippines - No. I despise what it has become, especially that the president, and her mother is the reason why the country is in ruins.

Well I've been to Mexico three times and I can say Canadians are friendlier and it feels much safer in Canada.
I went to Valladolid which is supposed to be the safest city in Mexico and the fourth largest, and on the highway there were many soldiers with rifles and shotguns...
Also within the city itself nobody smiled or said "bonjour".
Mexico has its good points but Canada >>>

I say that I want to move to another country sometimes but I know how lucky I am to live in the US because of how many opportunities I have and all the diversity. I think I just get bored being around the same thing all the time but it's better then living in some small irrelevant country with not a lot of chances for moving up in life.

Well clearly you know **** about Mexico, cause where in hell is valladolid? must be a random old town no one cares about. And how the **** is this random city that i've never heard about the 4th largest city here? 
You're just one more of the bunch that judges a country for a town not just a town, a random town no one cares about.
It's like sayin all the US is like NYC when in reality the rest of the country looks like this..

I love Poland. It might be not as advanced as some other Western countries but I don't think I'd choose to be from anywhere else.

It is in Yucatan. Maybe not 4th largest but it is a very large city in Mexico.
The highway looks like this.
And about judging from small towns, that's a better way to judge a country, than by the largest cities  because most of the country will be smaller towns, and there are only a few large cities.

It's okay, I guess. It could be much better. I wish I ruled it sometimes.

Maybe in countries with a very small population, not in a huge country like Mexico, you do know that Mexico City alone has almost the same population of Canada right? 
And also here's a list of the top 100 most populated cities in Mexico this "Valladolid" is nowhere to be found..
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anexo:C...3%A1s_pobladas
Maybe it's the 101 most populated.
Edit: i just bothered googling this Valladolid town, it has a 43k population I'm done clocking, if youre going to visiit a country and judge it make sure you saw at least a reasonable amount of it. Bye

Yeah, well frankly I did not want to be travelling around small towns in Mexico alone because when I arrived at the Cancun airport I learned some local police had been beheaded or something it was kind of a bad omen.
Anyways Canada does not have over 106,000 people killed in drug wars since 2006 (more than have been killed in Afghanistan!) so like I said, Mexico has its good points (like fresh made salsa) but I'd rather live in Canada.
