I was offered goats, nubians, free with the donkey. I didn't take them because they smell and escape and need their teats twiddling daily.

Re: Cultural boredom in Canada
At least when there's nowhere to go for fun, there's very little to spend our money on, so we're saving lots of money here! We're trying to be positive and enjoy the good things about life in Canada (we know there are many things we'll miss, and nowhere is perfect) but life's too short to waste it in places you don't want to be, and Canada just doesn't seem to be the right fit for us. Of maybe we're not the right people for it (in spite of my passport!). Anyone else in a similar boat?
It's quite amazing to read what we feel our neighbors, country and government owe us. Anything short of these expectations and "we're outta here".

Oh God, another "Canada sucks" thread, *reaches for glass of ice wine and Roger's victoria cream while sorting photo album of Jasper National Park*.
I suppose I could tell you all where I'm from in the UK but it might seriously dent my Canadian evangelist credentials.

Re: Cultural boredom in Canada
Look all I've got to say about "culture" is who gives a kipper's dick frankly?
Yes, the UK has more "culture" and is more "exciting" as evidenced by the rioting over the last few days - being more "exciting" is not always a good thing.
As I keep saying, "dull" is underrated. Going through the same motions every year help fosters community spirit and harmony, you can't have it both ways, saying you're tired of yobbos and boozing and then say you're bored when you're not subjected to it anymore.
