A Canadian colleague of mine has vowed never to return to Manitoba because he never wants to experience -40 again.

I have an interest in Canada, family there, friends and colleagues there. What's more my posts are objective and as balanced as the facts will allow. Furthermore I will post wherever I please, in whichever folder or forum I please, without people like you policing the boards strutting about telling people where they can post. I appreciate my post to you told it straight and you didn't like that much, but that's no reason to stalk me around the forums and insult me to third parties. Please be so kind to refrain from this in future, and respect me in the same way I respect you.
You have an interest in the negative aspects of living here and I have never really seen you post anything other than this. You are living in a fantasy if you think I am stalking you around the boards......I stick to where I am interested in living and actually do so - the Canada board. Dont tell me which thread to reply to or how I may address you in that thread. It was a simple statement of what I see as fact - its a public forum , so deal with it! And why do you justify your opinions by offering up friends, family and colleagues who somehow add credibility to what is YOUR opinion. They arent here, do you need to voice their opinions? And if they still live here, those that do.......cant be all bad right?

Do Brits say can of beer? (Serious question...I don't think such things existed when I left).

I don't believe you. :D

Young lady like you drinking from a party 7 can:lol:

I remember Tennants, Tartan, Trophy Bitter (wish I didnt) and Worthingtons in cans. Of course they had no widget so they were just gasey... much more burping when drinking cans than drinking draught. Whatever happened to Mild?
