Is this indoor or outdoor? I'm looking for an indoor one and would like some recommendations if anyone has one?

Re: Prohibited items - baby/children's goods

Babywalkers are banned. Can't be bought, sold or imported for personal use. Other than that I wouldn't worry about the other things. They aren't going to check that the car seat has the appropriate...

Re: Fastest Internet in Ottawa?

Internet plans are horrendous in Canada. Bell Fibe has decent speeds but their usage limits are low. 100gb= upload and download. So it's basically fast internet for checking email. Forget netflix or...

Re: Single parent sister visiting

Re: Single parent sister visiting

I think so. The US and Canada are very strict in regards to this. They will ask where the father is and if she says they are divorced they will ask to see documentation.

Re: 2 and a half years later, and the Canadian dream is over - so what would I change

The problem is that most people are putting 10% down on a house and carrying a large mortgage. You're not getting any return on your "investment" for at least 5 years. Putting all your money into a...

5.-this is true for all people not just immigrants. So many people buy too much house that they can't afford to do anything fun. Buy the cheapest house in the best neighbourhood you can afford. If...

Re: X Box 360: UK to Canada

Is it region locked? I read it wasn't (except for Japan). The DLC is locked though.

Re: X Box 360: UK to Canada

Expect to spend from $50 to $60. It's better than buying a used 360 because of potential rrod problems. Having a power converter is always good to have just in case as well.

Re: X Box 360: UK to Canada

Most games are not region locked for Xbox 360. It's up to the developers to decide and most don't region lock them.

To OP: bring the console and buy a power converter for it.

Re: whats the food like in canada?

That's mainly why the US breweries exploded. Generic tasting mass produced beer left so many people wanting more. The main thing hampering Canada (especially Ontario) is the stupid liquor laws. I'm...

Agreed. Growing up I knew a few families who had their own cottages but they were always basic and they went almost weekly during the summer months so the cost performance was decent. If you only go...

Re: Cottage country

It's quite common for average Canadians to head to the cottage. Some people own one and others rent. A lot of times you go with other families or friends, especially May 2-4 weekend and Labour Day...

Re: whats the food like in canada?

Boil them (if frozen) and then fry them with melted butter and cut up bacon. Put some sour cream on them and enjoy with cabbage rolls and kielbasa.

Get out of the city. Nature, slow pace of life, quietness and space is what Canada offers. Alternatively you can leave. If you truly don't like it then that's the best. One person can't change an...
