I like my neighbors to the north quite a bit, actually. I grew up in New Hampshire, USA, and we used to take vacations in Canada from time to time.
The only bad experience I've ever really had in Canada (or with Canadians in general) involved a group of people from Quebec being extremely rude to my parents in a restaurant for reasons that I don't recall ever being clear. I don't think my parents provoked them in any way, certainly not intentionally (they're extremely nice people; more so than I think I'll ever be capable of). But I'm not one to let the actions of a few condemn the whole. Some people are just jerks, and that's something that transcends nationality.
But yeah... if I had enough financial stability to move somewhere, Canada would be pretty close to the top of the list.
