Is there anything you would miss if you left Canada?
It seems like everyone misses something from the UK, be it Bisto, Cadburys, or M&S. Just wondered if there is anything you've got really attached to in Canada that you would miss if you left?

I don't think I've yet become attached to anything specifically Canadian. I do have a nice set of winter tyres but they're from Finland.

Co-Ed Soccer
Table Service in bars
Bars always open till very late and also serving food
Cheap fuel (relative to the UK)
Proper hot summers
Proper cold winters
Hanging at out at friend's cottages and boats
People constantly asking me if I'm from Australia?
Chatting to random's all the time in the condo or at bars
Terrential rain (when it rains in Toronto it really pours!)
Easier to relax outside of work (more Toronto compared to London) in my experience with the things I like to do.
