I've read quite a few of your posts and I have to wonder if I'm the only one who thinks you're crazy for moving from where you are now

Same here, we love it. Lots to do all the time, never a boring moment.
And the summer has been amazing

BC or NS it's Horses for courses oh and my dads bigger than your dad so there.

I wanted to move to Winnipeg but my ex OH would not hear of it - Winters and further from the UK.

It was a choice of NB or NS due to slower pace of life and job opportunities for me. Also cost of living vs my salary is better here than in UK or points west.

Moncton due to getting job offer near by and its the largest city in NB

I don't live in Canada but almost ended up living there, and it was going to be BC. My outside, unbiased perspective - it was BC because of climate and I liked Vancouver a lot. From time to time I think about what my life would be like if I had wound up there.

I didn't really choose NS. NS chose me.

I also remember my Nan telling me it was one of the most beautiful places she'd ever visited. Since selling-up-shop and retiring at 60 she circumnavigated the globe 3 and 1/2 times, visiting and living places we dare not even visit these days (e.g. Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Australia etc), so I really felt the gravity of her experiences in her words.

Other than that, I just can't live in a City any more. No desire to see concrete buildings, cars and parking lots everywhere I look. Much prefer the trees, animals and other general colours that edge-of-the-wilderness nature offers.

Also, a Canadian once told me, "if you ever get the urge to move to west coast Canada, you may as well move to Liverpool instead... It's better." Seemed like a strange remark but I thought it best to live as far away from there as possible, just in case.

I admit, it was difficult to choose between Iraq and Australia for safety reasons.

BC or Alberta - but only because they were a little familiar.

The better job prospect was in Calgary - or I should clarify - there was a better prospect of a job in Calgary.

I like it well enough - I love my views and have a nice life here. I am loving these summery months. In some moments of the day/week/year (usually about April) I would move to Victoria or the Island(s) in a heartbeat, but without the rain. I don't miss rain.

I really wish to visit the Eastern provinces and coastline and I'm sure we'll get there one year - probably in a few years, without children in tow.

Good point about the weather. Where I am in Australia we have very good weather in general but there's always a few weeks in the summer when I wish I were somewhere cooler. The heat has its charms but it can be stifling sometimes.

Yes, I can see your point Alan...the problem is my husband really wants to return to Canada, he's never got the hang of here at all. Also I would have to move 'somewhere' because I love my house, but I moved here believing I'd never have a child, and then our son showed up. The Primary school was good, but the senior schools here suck, and the nearest decent school is 100kms. I think I'm also frankly bored, France is great to be a full time Mummy in or to retire to but I 'need' more, and I can't even say what I need more of! I feel excited by the move (bit scared too) but it seems ages since I've felt a happy anticipation. My husband has gone now, and the next time I will see him will be in Fredericton but when he left I have never seen him look so happy, and that felt bloody fantastic.

Im in Alberta..simple because that's where the money is. Firstly in Edmonton now in Calgary....i really dont know why people rave about Calgary i find it very bland...i actually prefer Edmonton.

I moved to Wales for the mountains, interesting people and the love of all things Canadian, then realised that it wasn't in Canada, my OH is a right joker!

So next stop NB, possibly NS, possibly PEI, but probably anywhere where I can, or the OH, get a job!

I'd move to Paris

You do realise those places don't really have proper mountains*











*And probably no interesting people or jobs either
