Are you better off living in Canada or in the UK (in terms of making money)?

People on here are comparing the London and outer areas to places in the world which have no right to be compared too.
It also makes out that the UK is an utter shithole....Right.
I don't recall ice storms, hurricanes, tornados and floods the size of your entire county engulfing this country. I also don't recall losing power or utilities as a result for days and weeks on end unless there was industrial action.
Lets not forget the serious crime figures are restricted to the inner city slums and the occasional rare occurrence elsewhere. We have no towns or cities here that could equal a drastic downturn in economic ability like the USA. Australia etc.
Lets compare shall we?
Canada: Home to Toronto. Enough said.
It is also home to a massive oil industry which is poisoning its beautiful countryside, rivers and forests. Do I also need to point out the amount of snow and ice there? Most of that country is inhabited more by wildlife than humans.
If I wanted French sophistication, snobbery and nice wine/beer and good weather I would go to the south of France.
If I wanted to earn a few years salary, see as few women as possible and get a trade under my belt then Canada would be my choice.
If you're a smart bastard with money go to London. London is the Number one place to be as a young-middle aged guy who is single, can game and can earn money. Don't moan about the cost because if you do you're not the type who knows how to ball.
People earning money in London know how to hide their wealth. Its a basic requirement there and if you don't know how to then you will be chewed up.
London, mainly the City is the reason the UK is what it is. Without London I doubt the UK would have weathered the economic storm as well as it did.
For an average person your best bet is Manchester. Average salaries do not kick up a notch unless you're in a position that uses professional expertise or where you manage a lot of people.
We also have the freedom of movement in the EU. Unfortunately this gives employers the choice to pick and choose amongst a lot of people and the graduate pool is huge.
Tell me what countries demand 2 years+ experience from entry level graduate positions for a profession at basic salary in the 19-23k range?
The UK does have its problems but comparing it to other countries is laughable.
