Post by: adriarobi on February 01, 2018, 03:01:28 am: I remember beautiful Ontario.

Almost moved there with husband and kids. Then husband left for a younger woman, and the kids and I stayed in Wisconsin.

Very glad we did, but memories of Ontario always lovely (The country, not the ex-husband ha ha!)

Post by: LenoraMinogue on February 01, 2018, 03:30:32 am: I think it would be a nice place to live it if weren't so cold up there. Canada is one of the few places I'd consider moving from the US given the opportunity otherwise. It's similar enough to home but with plenty of unique things to discover which would suit me just fine.

Unfortunate I have a couple of trips there this month but I will try to switch them if I can. I try to avoid going if I can help it.

Title: Re: What do you think about when you hear the word "Canada"?
Post by: Tresbn00 on February 17, 2018, 04:44:19 pm: I think about all of the film stars, musicians and athletes that come from Canada, make their fame and fortune in the United States and then complain about what a lousy country the United States is. I also think about the wonderful beers and beautiful scenery. The accent was similar to many people that I grew up with in Wisconsin. Because of the proximity I picture most of Canada having frigid winters. I have seen Canada as a refuge for those that aim to escape the draft rather than using excuses like bone spurs or those that just want to escape whatever ruckus is going on in the states. I think about a medical system that appears to take care of every individual without bankrupting anyone but also a healthcare system that can cause long waits for attention.
