So to compare Canada's infrastructure to that of a country like Mexico is over the top for sure. And this place will be Mexico's show place next year with the G20 meeting.
Likewise, one country isn't a good basis to form conclusions. You're going to extrapolate your experiences in Mexico to every other developing country on the planet? Really???

And once again, you're forming your opinion based on a Mexican experience. Since when do Mexicans represent global opinion? Call someone 3rd world in most poor countries and they'll likely view you with contempt. No, I don't live in Mexico.
