nice country but far too cold for me and the taxes are too high.. sorry! :winkwink:

Cold is relative. How much colder can it be if you're within an hour of the 49th parallel, anyway? Just stay away from the cold states, and you'll be fine, ie: the Dakotas, Montana, Minnesota, etc. :) And for goodness' sake, don't go north-north. It's bloooody chilly up there!

We have our bbq going all year round,so how bad can it be?

You know what's kinda cool, though?

Just don't go too far north. You're liable to get eaten by a wolverine or something with big teeth. :)

Hey, it get's cold in the desert too... When you get use to 110 all summer, 40 is pretty fucking cold.

it's not "cold" when i can go out side at night and not wear a jacket.. i also like wearing shorts.. :winkwink:

No doubt. I wasn't saying otherwise. But you can't say they've gone from old equipment to 'the tops of the world' as far as equipment goes. That was all I was saying. No doubt they have updated since then, but in no way are they the best hospitals in the world as was claimed. ;)

Ya, definately not.

Although there are some hospitals here that would be considered top notch, but for every one of those there would be a shitload that are in sad shape.

The federal money I mentioned helped out quite a bit, and they seem to be committed to increasing funding every year, at least in Ontario. This is different from years ago when the only talk you heard about hospitals in Ontario were the discussions over which ones were going to close.

Looks like I finally posted a good thread :thumbsup I think this is my biggest.

What about Canadian Chicks???

Yes... tell us.... Do they shave their armpits and legs or are they hairy like real french women? :1orglaugh

Think about how many people are in Canada, and how many are in the US.. and then say 5% of each population is sending their govt. letters.

Born and raised in Vancouver, moved down here 2 years ago, and I'm already disliking it... To big, to poluted, and the police act like nazi's :)

The only thing I'd like to see in Vancouver that there's an abundance of here is freeways. Makes getting from point a to point b alot easier.

I'm definitly moving back home in a few years (not that california sucks or anything, I just dont feel at home)

Best part about canada? The chicks seem to put out more :Graucho

Canadian chicks are HOT, take my word for it. McDonald's hasn't quite reached the market saturation it would like up here, so the women are a little trimmer than down south. The webgirls I can think of off the top of my head.. Seska, CarolCox, Jamie Wylde, Angeliquexxx, myself, Dawn's Place, Amy's Playpen, Naughty Tracy, KCat, and tons more. Very nice women here. :) Oh, and it's semi-legal to go topless in some cities :)

Yeah, it's no Tucson up here. I was in Tucson for a year and dried out.. my webbed toes even cracked! :) I missed the ocean, but it sure was nice not having to guess what the weather was going to be like every day. :) And i LOVED the lightning storms.

Yeah I am from Canada too and I am happy to be from there cuz we are the best at hockey in 2006 we're going to destroy the usa again without a fucking doubt. Remember Salt Lake City 2002 haha.

Uhm, I have news for you... The Office of the Prime Minister of Canada only replies to letters concerning marijuana. Try writing to those fuckers about their obscene 50+% tax rates and see if you get a response.

I probally would not write back about that either :)

I guess since they are getting so much shit from the US they want as much support from us as they can get... Hey I am happy to help. I look at it this way, if Canada decriminalizes it, we will have to rethink our views on the subject.

I was just happy that someone cared enough to take the time to write, no matter if it was a form letter or not. It's the thought that counts. :winkwink:

Basically you just need to live in a border city or close enough to drive over. - Most canadians live very close to the US border anyways...


Then you can get the best of both worlds. I know if I was seriously sick and they told me to wait 4 - 8 months for a test etc, I would say fuck that, drive over the border pay some $$$ and get my money back from insurance... and have the peace of mind you can't get from waiting wondering wtf you have...

On the other hand, if I have some shitty cold I can go get a check up for free, although I may have to wait and hour or whatever...

Plus I can get reactine without a prescription up here... well I don't even buy reactine anymore, I buy the generic brand of cetirizine hydrochloride (reactine) for a few bucks less...
