For example, from downtown Vancouver you can get a bus that will drop you at the edge of the wilderness in less than half an hour. From there you can walk to the Arctic Ocean if you so wish.

Re: Your observations when visiting UK from Canada !
That's my bad, I should of stated BC as that's where most of my experience has been. Still I'm surprised so many people have said that they disagree with so many of the points I listed. If so many people disagree with the points I've made, what are the reasons for living in Canada?

If we could have found any way of staying in the UK, we would have done so, and we will return to the UK as soon as he retires.

If you wish to say something negative about the UK you will be told that there is at least one part of the UK where that does not hold true, therefore the statement is invalid. Take dbd33's post saying that the UK is not crowded as the north Antrim coast has plenty of space.
If you wish to say something positive about Canada you will be told that there is at least one part of Canada where that does not hold true, therefore the statement is invalid. Again using dbd33's example - there cannot be easy access to the wilderness in Canada because it takes a long time from Toronto city centre.
However, if you want to say something negative about Canada then fill your boots. You don't even need to know, or care, if it is true or not.

Not one part of Canada, the part of Canada where the people who need to have jobs live.
