Re: what IS a good life to you?

My family has moved to Calgary from the US, after being there for 6+ years.

Cool Re: Car taxes and duties

As far as driving a car in Canada with U.S. plates and not importing it, you're basically driving it illegally:
1. U.S. drivers license

Re: what IS a good life to you?

No - Arlington area (north Texas). It's a good 8 hours drive to Port Arthur.

Re: what IS a good life to you?

Actually it's cooled off to 96 (35c) today.
I was thinking of going for a run later.
Here's the 10 day - 93, 93, 95, 98, 97, 97, 98, 98, 98

Tomorrow should be nice.

Re: what IS a good life to you?

I guess you weren't here in the summer. Then you would have seen a huge difference as you melted in the heat!

Re: what IS a good life to you?

Quality of life is more important than a materialistic life.
What you wrote is very true.

Quality life = Canada
Materialistic life = U.S.A.

Re: what IS a good life to you?

Don't move to the U.S. then.
Orlando is a horrible, crime ridden city.

1. The company you're applying for a job is ignorant, and can't be bothered to check your qualifications.

Cool Re: Reasons you want to immigrate to Canada.

I've been living in the US for 6 years, and can't wait to leave this horrible place.
