Australian here!
Depends. I know some people who are extremely rude and arrogant, others would be the chillest dudes you’d meet.
Personally, I say I’d live up to the stereotype.

And I’d be happy to go to Canada. Iv never seen snow in my life. Iv never been out of this county in my life, and the further I can travel the better.

I can't stand Australia (even though legally I could move there if I wanted). Sure the climate is more agreeable but the culture is terrible and the people are the rudest I've met anywhere on earth (not withstanding one or two individual exceptions).

Conversely, I've found the stereotype true concerning Canada where people there really are the nicest I've ever met. The only drawback around Canada is the climate, though to be fair Vancouver isn't that much colder than where I currently live and it's actually slightly cheaper.

You must’ve met one or two people that you didn’t like and just assume that 25 million people are bad.

Canada; much closer to where I am.

What part of the culture is terrible? Asking for your perspective on this.

Can confirm that my public persona is part rude and part arrogant depending on where I am, but I just need to make sure I don't go full asshole and place limits and I should be fine. I'd say if I'm moving to Canada, if I want a culture shock, I really need to start working on my French and go to Quebec, Northern Quebec interests me a bit.

Canada.
Australia has got deserts, heat, no significative mountains, plenty of spiders and other disgusting critters.
Canada has got forests, snow, serious mountains,and fewer disgusting critters. Ok, they've got Americans nearby, but also they also border France and the Danish Realm, so...

I'd rather live in Canada (Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver) than Australia (Sydney, Perth, Brisbane). It would be easier for me to attend university, find a job and buy a house in Canada. The quality of life is similar but the living cost is lower there. I also prefer Canadian cultural attitudes to Australian ones. Of course their weather will be cold, but at least I won't faint due to the heat. And oh, I love my water. There's no way I can last in Australia with its water restrictions.

How about venomous mammals? Snakes everywhere? Giant hares which expel their foeti and then have their half-formed spawn climb and live into a festering pouch on the mother's body?
Ewwwww.

If you are from some other part of the globe then Australia is definitely the place to go.

Nah, Canada, though im not from America

If the Shire earns it a few points every map would have New Zealand on it

Well Australia is pretty auth rn, so probably Northern Canada

No desert where most people live, only relatively mild climates. And you'd be closer to mountains living in Melbourne or Sydney than in most major Canadian cities.

Mountains in Australia? AHAHAHAHAH.

Lol.

Mountains less than 150 km from my home:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matterhorn
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Gotthard_Massif

So, Canada.

Let's call them the Australian Apennines. Although the Apennines are still taller.
