According to the Internal Revenue Service, the 400 richest American households earned a total of $US138 billion, up from $US105 billion a year earlier. That's an average of $US345 million each, on which they paid a tax rate of just 16.6 per cent.

It is! Victoria, Buchart Gardens, Nanaimo ... and of course metropolitan Vancouver lies just across from Vancouver Island, separated by the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

I wasn't really talking about the livability of Vancouver Island (which is actually a different entity then the city of Vancouver :P) I was talking about the beautiful scenery...

Who knows, Chicago may actually beat the island part. Yeah fat chance of that. :lol:

Kingston and the Islands - absolutely beautiful! The limestone city is one of the oldest in North America - celebrated its tri-centennary in 1973 - and has preserved many of the old limestone buildings that date back to the late 1700s and early 1800s. Home to Queen's University (my alma mater), Royal Military College and St. Lawrence College, students keep the city alive and vibrant in the Winter and tourists keep it thriving in the Summer. A great place to visit if anyone is looking for an enjoyable vacation - and a wonderful place to live.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

.― Lucy Maude Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

Canada has an excellent post-secondary educational system. I'm a proud alumnus of Carleton University in Ottawa.

My son is now a senior in high school and has applied to three top-notch Ontario universities: Waterloo, University of Toronto and Queens.

I have no doubt he'll be accepted to the program of his choice at the school of his choice.

I'm really looking to having him live much closer to me - Chicago to either of Waterloo or Toronto or Kingston is definitely much closer than Chicago to Brazil!

And I'm also relieved that Canadian university tuition rates remain substantially more affordable than US tuition rates would be.

Great things about Canadians I can say from experience is that they are not rude (at all), have empathy for others, care about others, easy going, down to earth etc.

For anyone not familiar with them, just think of the poplar opposite of Yanks from LA, Vegas, Miami, Boston > DC region area etc.

Best thing about Canada is North of Sixty with mosquitoes the size of tomatoes.
