Re: Is anyone else massively disappointed in Canada?
Well that escalated pretty quickly! For the record, I came to Canada expecting basically nothing (it was a job transfer) and it's exceeded my expectations by a long way to the extent that I'm now a citizen and can't really see myself moving back to the UK at any point.

Then I read what you wrote. What a beautiful life you must lead, I'm envious! Thank you for writing this as it brought back all of the excitement I lost while reading through all of these pages! Whilst I like most enjoy cities for a day, the thought of living in one for me is horrible. I have visited London and whilst I enjoyed the visits, I am definitely happy I don't life there. The thought of seeing all that wildlife and being so close to the mountains and wilderness sounds great to me! The sandier/redder coloured black bear in the 2nd and last photo helped clean up the garden clippings- I was out there but saw her coming up from the lake through the edge of the neighbouring prov park, the middle darker one was sat on a garden pergola about 7 feet off the ground happily scoffing our grapes. They visited about a month apart. The eagle.. well, what can one say? just a beautiful bird at the top of one of our trees. Probably boring as crap to the likes of numerous posters within the thread- How the hell could we want to spend more than 7 years in such a beautiful place? Everyone needs to find what they like- certainly for the foreseeable future we are staying put and loving it here in our little patch of Canadian paradise- :cool: |

When reading these types of thread you have to keep in mind: a) not every poster is trying to be helpful. b) not every poster is being honest and truthful c) some posters get a giggle out of misleading and upsetting you d) some posters are not real people. Once you have worked out who these posters are there is still lots of useful advice to be gleaned from these boards. |

Hell even the geese stuck around this winter.

I also never lived anywhere with overhead electric wires, so that is what I think of off the bat when overhead wires are mentioned. My region in California forced utilities to underground wires in the 80's, so was never something very common in my area. |
