Things that would make Canada better for you ...
 
I have blatently copied this thread idea from the Spanish forum, and some of their responses made me giggle, especially this one

"Throw out all the Expats who moan about the expats moaning about the expats who moan about the expats moaning".



I'm not sure that is so relevant here (but maybe) but even so, here are my top three:

a) Spring in March, not one week at the end of May

b) A job that I actually want and like

c) Easy availability of chocolate croissants :lol:



Over to you ...

Three more weeks vacation and the money to spare to go spend it with family and friends in the UK.














er..thats all.:unsure:

Universal availability of cask conditioned real ale.

Lower internal flight costs.



Sadly, neither of those things is likely to happen.....:(

We were in the Feathers last night so that doesn't seem a priority.

Less winter.

More vacation.

Shrink the country, make things nearer to each other.

I don't think the majority of Albertans want to either.

Replace CBC with BBC, or at least sort out something like "Freeview".
