I went to school in Australia on a student exchange in undergrad. One morning an Australian friend was discussing waking up and finding a white tail spider in her room. Despite this, she didn’t think Australia was particularly more dangerous than Canada because Canada has bears.
My argument was that unless you live in a rural area with very shoddy construction standards, you never have to worry about waking up to find a bear in your room, but she was insistent. Canada was more dangerous than Australia because bears.
