Hello Everybody!!
 
Hello there. This would be my first day but it might also be my last. It would seem that everybody here is from europe. I would be a canadian my self. I live in ontario, but I will be moving to Alberta next summer. I am quite familiar with my region (Thunder Bay Area), so if you have any questions let me know. I only say that because Iv'e seen a few threads with people asking about moving overseas to canada. A few things about myself: I work in the construction indrustry as a homebuilder, I am an avid outdoorsman, I love to travel and enjoy a good bit of fun like anyone else. Would you like to know more, just ask and I'll let ya know.

no, not really. Its just that everybody in the discussion was rather hostile. I know that it is a touchy subject, but part of being canadian is to tolerate other peoples opinions and belifes. Sure I might disagree with you, but I won't like you any less for it. If more people could agree to disagree, this world might be a better place. I was taught to view issues from more than one view point, keep an open mind, and constructivly work out the issue. not consort to childish insults and petty arguing.

yeah, I might have expected it. Iv'e also been taught to question everything, I mean EVERYthing. I do not get along well with athourity figures. and it seems Iv'e a knack for annoying people without even trying. lol. No Worries though, as I can keep my temper and delegate my way out of trouble. (essential survival skills for my other short comings!!)
