Taking threads off topic
Please consider the topic questions when responding and make sure that your response is appropriate to the question asked.. not going off on too much of a tangent if it's a serious question or whre someone needs information about something quite quickly...
Some threads are fine to be taken off topic.. others, where people need information and quickly, not so much.
If it's not relevant - i.e they have asked about accommodation / housing / schools / transit / places to live in Oakville / Toronto in Ontario ... then please don't post about the housing / transit / schools in BC / Manitoba / New Brunswick / Alberta ... and vice-versa! Unless the question is where else could they live in Canada of course
Thanks for your consideration and understanding

I just don’t understand what’s going to happen with Brexit, will moving to Canada help?

Well one advantage of moving to Canada is that you can watch the Brexit mess unfolding from afar and be eternally grateful that you have another home.

Today my daughter sent me a message, "I'm in Istanbul". "Not Constantinople?" I responded, but she was too young.

This thread reminds me of the conversation that Derren Brown had with Joe Rogan at the 15min 20sec mark. I love this story.
