The experience of BE members of those still in Canada & those that went back home'

Develop a speech impediment, perhaps through having some sort of boil grow in your mouth. That way you can experience people nearly understanding what you say, but not quite.

So does everyone posting in this thread regret their move?

Re: Alternatives to emigrating
 

It's a definite nope from me:cool:

From the description of where you live I know you're loving it! We're actually going to pass through Kelowna and have a look on our way from Vancouver to Calgary!

Anyone who truly regretted it would be on the first plane back. This forum is just a bit of whinging to let off steam (as such behaviour is discouraged in Canada).

Re: Alternatives to emigrating
 

I don't regret the move. I don't think that, if I knew then what I know now, I'd have done it, but I don't regret it. The same is true of much else.

I wish I’d written it ten years ago. Think of all the lives I could of saved. It’s a haunting realization that’s sure.

No.

With hindsight, and if internet info resources had existed back then to the extent they do today, I probably wouldn't have come/stayed as long as I have. But who knows whether the next (putative) destination would have been better, worse or same sh*t different bucket... :)

I suppose it's the cost of dragging it along with oneself.
Weather is important, whether it matters or not. In our case it mattered much.

Never fancied Canada, it snows too much.
