Frankly, I don't know about the rest of the world, but the States doesn't look like such a bad place from up here. I mean, it's warm down there. You can go out without your parka and mukluks, and not freeze. And when you go out you'll actually be able to find another person.

The lack of all-encompassing forests of California redwoods would be depressing, but the novelty of pavement and beaches would take a while to wear off, at least.

Look at it from a Tolkien point of view: Canada is the Ice-bay of Forochel. Even if the States is Angmar, it's got more going for it.

NOTE: This a totally humourous post, poking fun at both the States and Canada. No offense to any Canadian or American is intended, although anyone from Uzbekistan is welcome to complain if they find it offensive.
