Views of Canadians
For the most part, Canadians do not feel that they would have better opportunities in the United States or
the United Kingdom. Almost nine-in-ten Canadians think their own country is the best place for them to
raise a family (87%) and live in a respectful and peaceful society (86%), and at least two thirds regard
Canada as the best place to provide a batter standard of living for their families (75%) and have access to
high quality health care (67%). More than half of Canadians (54%) think they would be able to find a
better job than the one they currently have in Canada, while 17 per cent believe they would do better in
the United States.
Views of Americans
About three-in-five Americans believe the U.S. is the best place for them to raise a family (61%) and
provide a better standard of living for their family (59%). Half of Americans (50%) also think that they
would be able to find a better job in the U.S. than the one they currently have. However, Americans are
not as convinced about two other aspects of their daily lives. One third of respondents think they would
have access to high quality health care in Canada (35%, compared to 43% in the U.S.) and that they
would live in a respectful and peaceful society if they were to relocate to Canada (33%, compared to 43%
in the U.S.).
Views of Britons
Respondents in Britain do not currently endorse many aspects of their daily lives in the same fashion as
Americans and Canadians. The one domestic area that is ranked highest is having access to high quality
health care (47%). In fact, many Britons are looking to Canada as a good place to raise a family (46%),
provide a better standard of living to their family (47%) and live in a respectful and peaceful society
(61%). In addition, three-in-ten Britons (30%) think they would find a better job in Canada than the one
they currently have in Britain.
Analysis
Canadians appear particularly happy with their daily lives, especially in the aspects related to society,
family and health. It is important to note that while about one-in-six Canadians believe that they could get
a better job in the United States, only two per cent consider the neighbouring country as a respectful and
peaceful society, and as the best place to raise a family.
Americans may not see much hope in Canadas labour market, but appear to be aware of certain
Canadian traits that are of interest, particularly in society and health care. Still, raising a family in America
is definitely the preferred course of action for most respondents. Less than one-in-ten are looking at
Britain as a good place to enhance their lives.

For Immediate ReleaseThree-Country Public Opinion Poll
Britons are definitely not satisfied with the status quo at this point, with predominantly low support for the
questions related to society, family and work. A large proportion of Britons look at Canada as a good
place to start over. And while Britons over the age of 55 are more likely to say that their country is the
greatest in the world, they are also more likely to say that the United Kingdoms best days are behind.
