I've always liked a lot of stuff about that country.

I wouldn't mind moving to Canada myself.

Believe it or not these questions about Canada were posted on an International Tourism Website. The answers are a joke; but the questions were really asked!

A. We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around and watch them die.

Q:Will I be able to see Polar Bears in the street? ( USA )
A: Depends on how much you've been drinking.

Q:I want to walk from Vancouver to Toronto -can I follow the Railroad tracks? ( Sweden )

Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go? ( USA )
A: Yes, but you will have to learn it first.

On second thought....maybe I should stay clear of Canada, due to the fact that you can buy codeine over the counter. I'd probably relapse, eventually.

its not even the good stuff that gives a buzz, you would love it up here, you wouldn't even notice that much of a difference from the States, we have alot of the same restaurants, about the only thing different is we use colored money, but its at par with the american dollar

The problem is, I know how to extract the codeine from the pills, into a more pure state. If you take 1,000 pills and extract the codeine, you have a substantial amount of narcotics.


I think I'm beyond that now. I probably have nothing to worry about. I was just thinking negatively. I would love to visit, mainly for the awesome fishing opportunities.

It's better than the American dollar these days! I have been to Canada a bunch of times. My best friend now lives their with his Canadian wife after attending St. Mary's University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Everybody I met was really nice...except the French-Canadians. But that's another story for another time. It gets freaking cold in the winter though. Universal health care is a plus.

I have friends in Yukon who offered me to move in with them should I want to relocate to Canada.

I must say, as the far north is one of my strongest interests (along with the Middle East) that I would LOVE to move to Yukon for a while, it is extremely far north and arctic up there. What stops me to accept the offer for now, is that Canada is very restricted in terms of working permits. I don't just want to move in with those friends without having a local job, that'd be unthankful (the "thanks for the free housing, and now I will just do nothing all day" attitude). I would love to accept their offer and move there, but I need a job. Jobs enough in Yukon, but the working permit is the hassle. I do speak English and French fluently, but I fear without a college degree it won't be enough to get a working permit, let alone a permanent resident status.

I absolutely love Canada, one of the most diverse countries on earth. I also have met nothing but friendly Canadians. I would love to tour the arctic islands above the mainland, Yukon and the NWT, and visit Vancouver and Toronto.

Canada is awesome and I want to return. I have friends in Calgary and every time I have visited it was the best. Oh yeah not to mention that they have Jolt Cola.

Living in Canada is like...

- living in the U.S., except colder
- living in the U.S., except they like Hockey
- living in the U.S., except they have national healthcare
- living in the U.S., except they have better beer & smoked sausage
- living in the U.S., except their money is worth more than ours
- living in the U.S., except they have Bon Homme Carnival, lucky ducks...
- living in the U.S., except they speak French instead of Spanish

Ya we have to keep an eye on those frisky swede's

It's really cold in the wintertime (and extremely hot in the summer ), but it's much like the US, only more French speaking people and an overall nicer feeling.

I have never been to the States, I would love to go and visit family I have in Iowa, maybe go to Texas, or Louisiana and visit some of my acadian or cajun cousins.
