Re: Is anyone else massively disappointed in Canada?

I rarely see any in BC.

1994 was the best year with 3,769.

Re: Is anyone else massively disappointed in Canada?

While this year the count is way down, we usually get a huge population of bald eagles in Dec/Jan, but this year they didn't come in mass, but with the poor salmon conditions, isn't surprising, they...

Re: Is anyone else massively disappointed in Canada?

Really the only problem with Vancouver is cost of housing and basic needs, otherwise it's quite a nice city in my view.

We would certainly choose Vancouver over anywhere else in the province, but...

Re: Is anyone else massively disappointed in Canada?

Upside to not having a kid early is I got to do some travel, downside if we ever have a kid, we might very well be too old to travel once said kid is grown......:lol:

Re: Is anyone else massively disappointed in Canada?

Yep. Once that student debt hits all bets are off for a few years...:lol:

Re: Is anyone else massively disappointed in Canada?

I was lucky in most jobs in the US, got anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks, and most allowed employees to trade shifts, so as long as we had our shift covered they didn't really care who was there.

Re: Is anyone else massively disappointed in Canada?

My wife traveled quite often in her younger days. Spent most of her summers in her first 14 years in Europe visiting the grandparents, when they died, the summer visits stopped.

But she also spent...

Re: Is anyone else massively disappointed in Canada?

Re: Is anyone else massively disappointed in Canada?

Re: Is anyone else massively disappointed in Canada?

I worked 60 hours a week at 20, it was the only way I could get the time off I needed to travel. I only got 10 days off per year. I'd work for others so they would work for me. I doubt I would have...

Re: Is anyone else massively disappointed in Canada?

Re: Is anyone else massively disappointed in Canada?

I did a fair amount of travel in my early 20's, but wish I had done more, mostly more out of North America travel.

That said I got to fly free or nearly free, had it not been for that would have...

Re: Is anyone else massively disappointed in Canada?

I wasnt talking population density. I was talking of physical size of the country of which Canada is 2nd largest in the world by size but with a small population spread over a huge distance.

Re: Is anyone else massively disappointed in Canada?

Not being the US seems to be the biggest accomplishment in many Canadian eyes. Lol
