I have lived all over the world and I agree. It’s one of the better places in the world but it’s not as great as a lot of Canadians believe

At least your country actually has real business competition and your per capita GDP is going up instead of down

What U.S. News believes doesn’t change reality either. These rankings are and always have been subjective BS

I have been to a lot of first world countries for extended periods as a digital nomad. Canada is not even in the top 5 imo

Why don’t you just get paid in USD?

I have a couple large customers (as in $billion+ companies) and I got the contracts because I knew people at the company, or knew someone who knew someone. Remember the foundation of business is trust. Getting a referral is basically a shortcut to them trusting you. If you then go on to do good work for them you can get a very good thing going for yourself.
