We've been here for just over two years. Previous two were in NS. I'm Canadian, originally from Winnipeg.

My complete journey is Winnipeg-Sheffield-Manchester-Liverpool-Chester-NS-Ottawa so it has been a long, hard slog.

The general reaction in NS to our move to Ottawa ranged between bewilderment and outright disgust.

Dunno. They have highways in Ottawa. He must be getting on a bit though. It's probably all that outside air that keeps him fit.

Yes my wife is in Ottawa (well she is actually in DC right now but she lives in Ottawa (Nepean to be more accurate)) I am in the UK yes it's a long distance relationship ... been that way for too long and need to bne together - workwise I'm in law (closest thing to a highwayman you can get these days :D) but the qualification isn't straightforward to transfer - I would have to requalify
