On the Internet I've found a couple of contradictory articles about immigration to Canada.

First one describes Canada as a dream country
Read

Second one says that it's worst place to live
Read

I would like to get yours opinion about it.

I couldn't read the first article and I found an English translation for the second one.

He certainly does paint a negative picture but a lot of it is incorrect and without context.

He says Canada has horrific weather. Some winters are cold with lots of snow but last summer we had many days over 30. Maybe he wants to live in the tropics and always have hot weather and have.

As far as national identity. We don't make immigrants give up their culture and traditions. That is why we are one of the most multi-cultural countries in the world.

I could go on but this article is clearly biased and not a balanced view of Canada
