What sucks about Canada?
 
Just wondering what everyone does not like about Canada.... I feel I might be wearing my little rose tinted glasses thinking that everything is beautiful and affordable and generally "better" than back home so really would love to get some insider pointers on what's not to like over there.
Might be a big mistake and really not trying to prompt arguments on here (again ;)) and as always everyone is entitled to their own opinions but please do share what YOU think sucks about Canada....
Aaand GO - ding ding ding :thumbsup:

Not having family living a few minutes drive away. It was our choice, but that was probably the hardest thing to get used to.

The odd day of -30 can be a pain, as can the occasional snow drift blocking the road. However, both are temporary and you get used to it.
