Re: Is anyone else massively disappointed in Canada?

Re: UK civil litigation lawyer in Canada

Carol, you didn't mention your age in your initial post - I'm assuming that you have a few years PQE. The reality is that, in your field, you will be looking for employment with the big city firms in...

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

No issue that there are cultural differences, that much is obvious. I don't think most people who emigrate to other countries are stupid enough to think otherwise.

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

So, so true. I am in an office of about 75 government lawyers, all of whom are Canadian with one exception - me.

Re: Differences between Canadian and British people

Back on topic. My 2c worth, based on 5 years residence in Alberta. A lot of you won't like it.
