Default Canada - How long?

For those of you who are already in Canada, or indeed for those of you planning to move over, how long do you think your stay in Canada will be for?

Where's the "I've got no bloody idea, and I change my mind every five minutes" option?

Never is a long time, but I can't foresee any circumstances that would make me want to live anywhere else.

However, once the rain starts properly next month I'm sure I'll be dreaming of a second home in Arizona.

That's most probably the same as "They'll bury me here."

For the foreseeable. A warm winter retreat wouldn't hurt.

I've picked the "they'll bury me here" option, but chosen with the get out clause that it does really depend on whether our kids stay here as adults, or choose to go back to the UK. I love Canada, but I don't have strong enough negative feelings about living in the UK again to keep me over here if my children moved away...
