That's what I'm looking forward too.

What's this? ex-pat cliché week?

Come on you two, free yourselves from your conditioning; it's possible to become something more than an ex-pat whose aim in life is to 'integrate with the local community'.

So whats [i]great[/] about canada......... almost nothing

it has lots of good points, but nothing that can't be found better somewhere else

Poutine?

The lifestyle it's provided me is what's great.

It's the sum of the parts, not the individual good/bad elements like the price of cheese.

and Face it R I C H, if you hadn't moved here you would never have met me in the flesh (at least the upside of that is you met Mandy as well)

But what Alan? What is this greater calling you speak off?

You've been here long enough to know that you should be living the dream. Life is what you make it after all.

Yeah, absolutely - 2 highlights in an otherwise dreary existence

Simple proof that Quebec has long since lost its connection with France

The point is though, that nowhere in the world does it 'better'

I understand what you’re trying to say

I struggle to understand why you’re trying to use the word "better" in the same sentence as poutine

I’m not sure you could make it better anywhere or come to that if you could make it worse anywhere else

The title said Canada. Not Quebec!
