As with the individual I was replying to, your information is two things. First, it's false. The acceptance rate in Canada for Cuban refugees is not 100%. Canada returns anyone fleeing Cuba who does so without legitimate reasons. On May 4, 2016 the Immigration and Refugee board published a document saying that Cuban refugees who returned to Cuba were well-treated. The exception were those who were fleeing from felony offences. Second, it's churlish. Average wages throughout Latin America are low. And none of the other countries offer universal health care, free education and subsidized living expenses.

You could paint a bleak picture of Canada too if all you did was focus on negative things. But what counts is the overall package in comparison to other states. The primary reason Canada does so well economically is because we are the USA's biggest trading partner. Given the same trade benefits we have, I expect Cuba would be a tropical paradise.
