Even not being able to buy a car on a Saturday afternoon or Sunday was a bit of a culture shock on arrival in New Brunswick. (But strangely you can buy a house at midnight on a Sunday or any other time your realtor is prepared to work).

Re: What would you change (if you could) about canada?
Hi guys
i just thought i would check in on the thread. Been another hard week. My mother has just had an operation to remove a cancerous growth and yesterday we had some really sad news about my sons best friend.
My son is 15 and his best friend is the best. We received a call to say his best freinds father had been tragicaly killed in a crane accident. Not sure if any of you heard about it. It was in London Ontario and the road collapsed, He was in the crane for two hours after the accident.
It is so sad because they are such a wonderful family. Always bubbly and full of jokes. 42 years old with a wife and 2 children. It just makes you sit back and think about how precious life really is.
They say 'what does't kill you will make you stronger'! Well i am the iron lady!
