Re: In the minority?

Yes, we're going through it now. We've spent six very long years in Canada and we're going home to Devon as soon as we can sell. We have ten children, four of which have fledged and two have...

Re: Anyone going home this month?

Fingers crossed we may have a buyer for our place. In which case we're heading back home to North Devon after nearly six years in Alberta. Can't wait. The sea, the sand, the traffic, who cares :0)....

Re: Four Million Brits Planning to Return Home

Make that four million and eight. :0) My family and I are heading back from Alberta after nearly six years. The exchange rate, if it holds until we sell our farm, will work for us nicely. The...

Re: The cost of living

We're moving back to the west country as soon as we can sell up in Alberta. We've found the price of food here high. And, we've back to the UK twice now, much more expensive than UK supermarkets with...

Re: Stuck in Canada

Probably true. But it's not pretty and Canada and Alberta in particular on a world stage seem to be about as popular as a floater in a swimming pool right now. In my opinion much of that is...

Re: Stuck in Canada

No different. Just sad that the little guy often gets trampled along the way.
This place is not for us.

Re: Stuck in Canada

With you on that. We can't hack Alberta either. Seems to be obsessed by greed and getting worse and the government seems to be to the right of Genghis Khan in attitude. Good luck.

Re: Stuck in Canada
