Re: Fergus, Ontario

Nice town, not too far from Guelph-KW-Cambridge which is a fairly large urban area. Gives you the advantages of a small town and you're not too far from more intense action, should you desire it....

Re: Feelings oin the Web

Funny, I'm not a Christian but do enjoy Christmas. The "consumerism" that so many people complain about doesn't bother me one bit.

Re: How hard

That's harsh! You think physicians and engineers who drive cabs shouldn't complain about this sad state of affairs?

Re: Honest Opinion About Emigrating From UK to Canada

Don't mean to be rude but when was the last time you were in London (not sure about other places in the U.K.) and not tipped a waiter or a cabbie? I do agree, though, that 15% is not an unwritten...

Re: Top Eight Reasons Not To Immigrate To Canada

Can't comment on #7 and #6 should not be too steep a learning curve but otherwise spot on! I'd add two of my own: mullet haircuts (related to your #5) and "awsome!!!" (related to your #3). And boy,...

Re: Top Eight Reasons Not To Immigrate To Canada

Ehm.....so you think taxes are not too high? I don't agree with most of the other points and don't think I have a "western outlook" but find the taxes outrageous

Re: Who's ahead with Texhnology, UK or Canada?

Re: Markham, Ontario. Info wanted....

I know from personal experience that unlike Ontario, Sweden allows user fees. Overall, their system is incomparably better.
