OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH! What are you gonna do, beat me with a hockey stick?? :cP
Im my opinion London, Seattle, New York, Sydney (Aust) and Portland are far better places to live than Vancouver. I think that those two places alone (and remember I am not American, I am Australian) is a far more superior places to live than anywhere I encountered in BC.
Yes, some Americans can be annoying and self-righteous, but the most I encountered were lovely, kind and welcoming - unlike the BC set which were snobbish, cliquey and generally lazy.
I agree Canada has it's advantages and disadvantages just like other places, but I felt in BC the disadvantages outweighed the advantages by far. And I even got free tickets to see the Canucks play.
I'm pleased I went there, in hindsight I would never do visit there again, well not BC anyway.
Sorry to offend, but it's a big bad world out there, not everyone is going to like where you live.
