Canada Best for Starting a New Business
I've always been impressed by the argument put by your Canadian consular and trade reps in Australia that for any of us Australians (or Kiwis for that matter) looking at marketing our goods or services to North America, locating ourselves or part of our operation in Canada makes more sense than trying to establish a base in the USA. With our shared British Commonwealth membership, and related familiarities in parliamentary and legal systems, there is presumably less culture shock to distract us from the business of doing business.
