Canada is a considerably more opportunistic country than France in every way. I love French culture and they make many things, but for people looking to get ahead, especially migrants, there is no comparison.
Your rebuttals don't help: a 45% max tax (instead of 50%) + ~25% payroll tax + 20% VAT is really quite a hostile.
The difference in GINI between Canada and France is really quite small, unfortunately, there's nothing to be proud of when 'everyone is at the same level of poverty'.
The culture is boring in Canada, but almost 'everything works' well - civil government, low levels of corruption etc..
My brother is essentially 'working class' and he and his wife live a nice, big new home (that they can afford), they have every material pleasure one could imagine, an impossible achievement in most of France.
I still love France but it's not a fully functional state.
