All threads drift sooner or later, it's sometimes better to break your questions up, you tend to get the answers you need in the 1st page of answers before subjects drift, it's just like having an ordinary converstaion really...

OK, back on topic,from a business point of view I find most Canadians I have met to be fairly laid back, they dont seem to have been whipped up into a larther over there property prices, we in Britain have been brain washed by Maggie to Buy buy buy even when we dont no the first thing about property ownership, In Canada there are IMOP far fewar sharks swimming around than here in the UK, The one thing I have noticed about the UK reccession is that its turned millions of people into Liars and cheats, our phone now ring with every single excuse to why they cant pay there bills, very few people just admitting there broke, they would rather make it "Your Fault" rather than just admit there broke, In Canada we find the slower pace with less urgency a very nice thing, The UK is sinking and the more good people who leave only bring more rats to the surface.
Hope this is still within the topic of "The Difference"

You accuse the British of being brain washed by Maggie to Buy buy buy even when they dont no the first thing about property ownership..
I’d like you to consider that Canadians have been brainwashed by the American media to buy buy buy without understanding the first thing about credit

I dont understand, are you saying people in the UK country are more likely to shaft you over? They seem just as nice as rural canadians to me, having lived in both places.

The problem here in Scotland is that its full of english people who sold tere garage and moved up here and bought all the pubs,BBs,hotels, petrol stations here in my town there are 36 shops, 28 are owned by settlers from england, been great for my wallet, I hope they keep on coming as I have a few more businesses I would like to shift.

People are people the world over, the difference is that in the UK you are only ever 80 miles from a big city with all that it entails, but in Canada you have proper country life with people who only visit the city maybe once a month, my friends in Manatoba need to fly for nearly 2 days ( in there own plane) to get to Wini

Well there is a difference. There is just so much immigration to BC, and also BC is a relatively new place. Immigration is almost part of daily life. Scotland is populated by lots of Scots and has a long history, kamikaze's post seems to suggest that there are suddenly lots of English moving there, compared to BC where there has and will be a continuous stream of immigrants to increase the population so it won't really "change" because thats just how it is.
I can see the irony but to reach it requires oversimplifying the issue an uncomfortable amount for me personally.

I live in a village with 9 large farms covering 3000 acres, I am the only scotsman, the other 8 are owned by englishmen ? do you think my place in Canada will be the same ? we are only 5 million people in Scotland and it is a nice place to live so more power to anyone who can afford it 
There are 3 times as many scots abroad than live in the country

BTW, 9 farms covering that acreage aren't large
You need 100 acres per head of cattle here.
