Social safety net like what?

I just moved to Canada

Health care is free and I am covered on my visa

Medication / dentist is not but my company has private health insurance so I am covered for that too

Education for kids is free too

Public transport sucks but that is because I am in a small city

Europe is better connected and I’ve heard their public health care is better, but I doubt it would be too different

I don’t know at what else the social safety net in Europe would be better

Unless people want to leave miserably, they need to pay rent and food everywhere (heck, you even have food stamp in the states)

Keep in mind things tend to be cheaper in the US than in Europe
