18. Canadians accept almost everybody. They are very un-racist compared to other people e.g. Those in the States or the USA
26. The work environment is very laid back except when there is a deadline. Deadline is king and it is the worst thing you can do is miss the deadline. When there is a deadline, you can be expected to work the whole weekend to meet it.
31. Tons and tons of restaurants and *cheap*.

Con:
Winter. Winter (hard core, cold, WINTER) is about 4 months long. Then you get 2 months of just mildly cold.
The U.S. Wayyyy too close to the US for their own good.
Pro:
Summer. HOT. It can get very humid in areas like Toronto (Southern Ontario) so you will definitely need air conditioning.
Safe. Cities in Canada are comparitively safe to their American (and somewhat European) counterparts.
Medi-Care. 'Nuff said. Break your arm and mortgage your house to pay for it? No thanks!
British Spelling. Well for the most part anyway; there are some US sprinkles here and there (tire, aluminum, realize).
Polite. A kind of cold politeness, but polite anway. Should not be confused with 'friendliness' though!
