Re: I love Canada because

I'm in New Zealand now, but moving back to the UK soon, and possibly back to Canada where I lived for 8 years (and miss more than I ever imagined).

So, to add to this list of "I love Canadas",

Canada's multiculturalism, being able to keep your own identity
Being able to buy achee and saltfish rotis in Kensington Market, Toronto
Cross country skiing
Ottawa's ice canal in the winter
Political correctness (never thought I'd ever say that)
Feminist awareness (never thought I'd ever say that, either)
Quick access to healthcare facilities
My amazing friends in Ottawa and Toronto
Tim Hortons sour cream glazed donuts
Hot summer and crisp, cold winters

I'm sure there's more...

Best

This is a very silly thread. It's like CBC Canada Day special.

Do you mean being the on-site psychiatrist for the Canada forum? She does a great job doesn't she?

Oh, I love Canada because:

it spawned Mrs Rhodes.
most houses have basements.
my hair looks trendy compared with the mullet heads over there
the trees are pretty in the Autumn
they have blue passports (I stole this one)

No - I'm just hogging the desk these days. If you hunt about you will find he has managed the occasional post when I've been away from the desk.

But isn't it nice not to have constant gripes and complaints.

Everyone is feeling good.

All are relaxed.

Blood pressure is down.

Rhodes can spawn away to his hearts content.....
