Re: canada vs australia?
Think we might hit +2 degrees on Thursday. It was about 6 degrees on Xmas Day - stunning day.
Yes - we do get many bright and sunnies - it is mid-Winter and it's bright and sunny outside right now at 4pm. Has been all week. We'll get another sprinkling of snow by Friday - that will be cloudy for a day - then clear once more.
Hard to explain the expanse and delight of the skies here really. (Check out my blog, she says blatently, for tons of sky piccies!)

Big skies in Oz too.

Based on what? The only sort of index that makes any sort of attempt at quantifying this would seem to disagree with you.

I don't pay any attention those indexes like that.

I was rather amused at the time to discover that my rather rich and very up himself UK brother had stuck most of his massive life savings in a certain Icelandic Bank
He probably go the high interest tip off a fourm too

He got the savings back anyway and according to him wasnt worried as with he could earn it back in a year
Mega rich, he actually came and stayed with us for 8 weeks in total, never spent one cent here, then as a thank you asked if my teenager would like his old trainers (designer of course) .
You would have to search hard to find a bigger pratt.

The guy is a total wanker, earning half a million quid a year easily and was paying my parents 40 GBP a week to live in their home washing and cooking included.

The lifestyle will really depend on which city and which area within that city you live in both countries, your preferred weather, and a million other little things. Lots of people having a great life in both and lots not.
For example, I think some people take advantage of the long cold freeze that happens in some parts of Canada and are out hiking, skiing or whatever having a great time. They know how to live with the weather. Other people sit indoors and feel trapped and depressed...everyone is different. Same in parts of Australia.

Unless you know someone's brother you can't really comment...I don't know this brother, but I know mine and would have a similar sentiment if it happened to mine. He's scum, deserves all he gets

Families can be painful - I know that too well
At least with the bro we get a laugh, he very recently bought a house worth probably 10 times the avg UK home - for cash. He sent out housewarming invites with a gift registry ( like you get for brides ) I mean he sent these invites to people in the UK on pensions, teachers, a disabled relative
I am thinking of sending him a green and yellow bottle opener set from one of those awful tourist shops you get on the gold coast
Amazingly too, despite the couple of months he stayed with us for free he cant even put us up for one night in his swish new home
