I have already explained that there are certain things that I find important in life. Canada won't help me achieve those. Therefore, for ME, USA>CanadaLook let me put it in this way.
There are tiers of public security.
Top tier is perhaps Japan. No violent crime usually and there is police behind every god damned telephone pole. They are also fire arm averse. And a lot of them do not carry firearms in usual policing.
Now when it comes to Canada and USA, their police departments are actually under-resourced for policing. So, they actually do not investigate a lot of complains they recieve. I heard in SF they do not even try to investigate car theft these days because they are so innudated in cases. In BC, crime against women are ignored from what I hear. If you have a creep living in your building and acting creep, police is likely to do very little. This mess is everywhere in NA.
Firearms in public adds a new challenge. It makes police worried about their own safety. And guess who they suspect the most? Us immigrants. You don't look "american", you are more suspect. You dont sound american, you are more suspect. Our risk profile as immigrants is not usual look-american sound-american profile. Black folks have worst risk profile and I suspect, we might be similar.
I was flagpoling at Peace Arch for my WP in 2019. I had to go to US side and cross back to Canada. I had no personal vehicle so I went on foot. I approched border post, kept my passport in hand, clearly visible and both hand clearly visible. Damn border police folks always have one hand on their weapon.
