It's also a gross exaggeration.

You do know that you are talking about Professor Alan2005, Head of the aforementioned School of sarcasm and facetiousness ...;)
We have a few alumni from the school on this very forum - me included:cool:

Lets face it, the southern quarter of BC is habitable. I don't think it's hyperbolic to say that the rest of canada is like the north pole or the everglades depending on the time of year.

I think you're being more than fair, although less alligators.

whisper it
We've had it easy so far. A fraction of last winter's snow. Right now it looks like April when there's no more snow to fall and traces have all but gone. Amazing.

Alan 2005 - I agree with you. I have survived in Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario and now live on Vancouver Island. In spite of my Scottish ancestry and notwithstanding all the bagpipes and mutilated Gaelic, I couldn't face Nova Scotia or any of the rest of the Maritimes. If you don't mind the rain peeing down for about three months non-stop and a drought for about four months every summer,southwestern BC is OK.There are, however, those yet-to-be-enlightened folks who still have faith that the grass is greener in Canada even under six feet of snow. They point out that Canada is huge space and is thinly populated but then so is Antarctica and so far it doesn't seem to be a very popular destination for emigrants, does it?
