Re: Why do you want to leave the UK?
Idiots perhaps but not extreme right wing.
The Lougheed government was more about good governance than right wing politics. Unfortunately Ralph Klein was at the opposite end of the spectrum and sticks in peoples minds more because he is a total jackass.

Acknowledged but that doesn't mean that the entire population is extreme right wing.

Re: Why do you want to leave the UK?
A Canadian friend of mine a French speaker from Quebec who now lives in Toronto, once told me that when she returns to Quebec with her Toronto or Ontario plated car, she sometimes has problems getting petrol and being served quickly at gas stations in Quebec. It is only when she speaks in French that she is treated differently. Don`t now how true this is or is it just an isolated case.

By the way do you speak French? And if you don`t is it easy to survive and work there without a decent level of French?

He wouldn't here either.
Only if you entered as PR. But that might take a very long time, or indeed be impossible, if your husband is working for a foreign (not Canadian) company in the Middle East.
Ha! I somehow don't think you'd like Canada. For all its warts, it's extremely open to all sorts of cultures from wherever people happen to arrive from. This may be less true of some rural areas and Alberta. But you wouldn't want to live there anyway.

We decided to settle in Toronto this time around because it's more cosmopolitan.
And, I am black.

It is possible to survive without any French but it is tough. Then again if it is simply English one speaks there is always the Rest of Canada.
Or even the good ole USA.

I have met a few snobs who consider Atlantic Canada as somewhat backward. I have been there often on business trips and do not share that view.

I speak it like a native, in some respects probably better than a native, but have never quite lost my European French. I went to boarding schools in Paris and Lausanne in the early fifties. It was precisely because of the French element that the family settled here.

Many will speak English too as they are smart enough to realise it is the international lingo.

1 Very good reason to get out the dump called England is the fact the government is lead by the soapy thick Scot.

OMG I jes spotted meself a retard and a monster sized one too.
You obviously know nothing about politics in Canada or the vast legacy of bumbling, incompetent, corrupt politicians.
Google this:
BC Ferries scandal here
Nanaimo bingogate
Van der Zalm scandal
Glen Clarks casino shambles here
Glen Clark budget scandal
Just for starters, and that's just one province, one party. You think the others are any different ? Have ever been any different ? If you, you are an idiot. Here's another dickhead. See. Different party, same idiocy.

I admit i now nothing about Canadian politics so i would not comment on it but i do know about the UK.
As far as i am concerned the UK stinks i was born and bread there so i feel i am free to make what ever comments about the UK as i like.
Corruption was invented in the UK and Blair and his fellow criminals have taken it to a new level. Even local politics is as bad my local council built a new 3 million GB Pound football stadium for a team that gets maybe 100 spectators a week (if the sun is shineing) when there are local school and hospitals being closed down for lack of money.
The biggest problem in the UK is all the freeloaders flooding the country there is no way i am against immigration providing the immigrants are working and paying there way ( like i am in Canada) i would never consider asking the Canadian authorities for free benifits so why should the UK give illegal immigrants everything for free.
As far as i am concerned the illegals in the UK should be left to starve on the streets or be given a row boat to row back across the channel.
