What do you love about here?  I think poor people are worse off in Canada than in Hong Kong.

I don't quite get it, why poor people are worse off in Canada. First there is free health care (in HK there is also free health care but you would want to pay to get better health care). So poor people are actually getting better treatment here. And poor people can also get EI.

Actually, if I'm poor, I'd rather live here than HK. People here don't really care what cloth you wear, what type of cell phone you use. In HK, people like to compare...

Also, too much stress in HK...

But having said that, still I think HK has more opportunities. Why I don't go back? I have a stable job here and also I enjoy more lay back life style...

How come you people don't 回流 back to Hong Kong?

I have been here since 1993 ... can't  ...

If I'm poor, I will choose to go back to HK to 搏一搏, spend some time to find a job to see whether I can find a job better than what I made here.
I'm staying here, not because I'm rich, just I'm lucky to get a rather stable job here and made enough (just enough) to survive. 發達？冇諗過。Even though I may make more in HK, the working hour must be longer, stress level is higher, not worth it.

The reason for me is simply that I don't think I can make as much money if I go back to HK.

If I compare myself to other friends/people that went to university with me, except those that were born  ...

However, making 10k-30k in HK would end up more net income even if we make same gross amount due to high tax. i.e. 30K in HK is about 4.5K here but if I make 4.5K per month I would only get about 3K after tax and all the other deductions.
So even I don't spend much in social activities, clothing, gadgets etc I could save more in HK. But of course, it's very hard not to spend $ in HK...
