What Makes Canada a Great Place to Live?

[xck]

oh oh Canada's

Smurf ~ Thank you for your Edit #Tree. Interesting on your (drag) Queen On your Edit # Four LOLOLOL Thanks

Gonzolo, thank you very very much for your kind post. warmed my heart..the thought of me zooming around some Canadians in cyber space before i get there psychically. ty.

ionsmith ~ !Wow, thank you very much for the info and the link. I can't wait till i return on Sunday (from ...) to investigate

EK ~ English is my first language. German should be my second (haven't used it in years) since I took two years of it - love the sound of it.

I taught English within a charter school. ONLY in America No sheet! It was then I first discovered science, because I had to teach it. It blew me away. I understood it but I had never given it any thought. I loved it. When I discovered we had (we're talking 4th grade level) four states of matter, and in my "teacher's" edition it stated, DO NOT confuse the child with four states of matter, leave PLASMA out of your class ... well it absolutely got the attention of my inner-X-catholic-school-girl and I had to know. I'm swerving in this post...back to Canada, THANK YOU!

Here's a phunny to leave you with. We now have a Pier One Imports shop in town. I went there the other day for the first time looking for Canadian imports. When I asked the clerk for assisstance she look so puzzled. They had none so I went to the store and stocked up on Canadian Whiskey (i don't drink alcohol). I am very happy that I found my Canadian imports.

Tumor!

Oh my goodness, if you speak to Canadians the way you post about them ... no wonder Hey, when I was reading your post I felt like decking you JUST KIDDING

The land of milk and honey? Somewhere in Canada? If it was in the US it would be the land of milk and money, so it must be Canada you were referring to.

Tumor, maybe time to move to Australia, New Zealand, OR next door to Dr. Phil

I thoroughly enjoyed your post, thanks!

Except province of Quebec rest of Canada is wild,uncivilized and crude.

Funny, most would say the opposite is true.

Although I have to say I don't find Quebecers to be crude, uncivilized and wild. But some would.

thank you for "commonwealth" that word completely escaped me . i think that's a nice word for - I'm entitled to keep my hand on/in your wallet, we do it all the time so it's common" sort of deal. Someone is paying the Queen's electric bills, costumes etc., and I hope it is just the Britts since she is afterall their "pope" in drag. I am probably wrong about that.

I was thinking I had to take a pherry to Canada. I knew WA was below BC , sometimes I'm too busy thinking (brain race) to catch the obvious. Yes, I, we, oui, will travel on Amtrak or in our "erg" vehicle. I don't care to visit an island, as it is the mountains that call me - this weekend our usual Cali jaunt, and definitely to Canada in February.

Alaska is what confused me probably. I know we couldn't always drive there. Right? Then again I thought I read somewhere that was part of the path (asia/russia - berriing straits, alaska Canada usa/ ) for pre neandertal (?) (the true native americans-mixed in with south/central america etc.) walked in on right? I've not stayed current. I have deviated from Canada topic. From what I understand, only recently (ten years maybe more) we have been able to drive into Alaska. That was my confusion.

Off to find a hominid thread for info since my brain just kicked into overdrive. I leave you with this...yesterday on my way home there was a car in front of me at the stoplight, and I saw the usual fish glyph that usually has jesus name in it, well THIS fish had Darwin's name in it. I almost followed the car home to find out where she purchased it, but I decided that wasn't a good idea.

 

[Smurf]

PS. if you guys decide anyway to come here,learn some karate or kung-fu, because people here are very short tempered and dangerouse and you must be ready to fight those Canadian yahoos!
I have been assaulted verbally and physically here without any provocation and almost beaten recently, since then I carry 10 inch kitchen knife in my backpack all the time! I know it is illegal to carry knife, but I rather be alive!
One more thing; watch for your possessions /valuables, thiefs are everywhere they stole even my old rusted street bike,couple years ago I lost new m.bike(i'm still in shock over loss of that brand new bike ) my friend was robed twice, and so on and on.

I'm trying to be open minded here tumor... but your messed in the head.

 

[mattmns]

rofl tumor. Here in the USA most of us usually carry shotties, or a small handgun, I do at least.

 

[shmoe]

10" knife will do nothing but provide a false sense of security. The weapon of choice for a Canadian Yahoo is a hockey stick- you'll never get close enough to use that knife. If by some miracle you do get close enough, make sure you've got your fighting straps securely in place or it will be lights out pretty quick.

 

[Smurf]

and be extra carefull of the rare, but lethal, maple syrup bombs used as a shock weapon in downtown Vancouver.

You can drive to Alaska. Always could. Just up through British Columbia, across a bit of the Yukon most likely and boom you're in Alaska.

And those darwin fish are all over the place, at least they are here.

And although I do live on an island, it happens to be the biggest island in the Pacific Ocean outside of the Japanese main islands. So it's really only an island in that it's waterlocked. It lacks the island feel because it's self sufficient and has a comparatively large population.

And yes the theory is that people first came to North America via the Bering Strait between Alaska and Russia which freezes over in the winter.

And if you want mountains, then where you really want to go to is Alberta. BC has some mountains, but the Coast Range is not even close to the magnitude of the Rockies.

Anyway;one more nugett of truth about Canada.
In USA one knows very well not to go alone to the "south or east" side of town,because that is where slums and crime ridden elements live, on the other hand "north or west" part of the city is extremally safe.
In Canada this sharp division is almost non existent,Canada is slowly changing into one big slum and random acts of violence are happenning anywhere regaldless of city area.There is just no place to hide here.
If I had some cash I would build hut in the forest far from Canadian rabble/sheeple, but since I'm stuck here my knife :!) is my only defence.

I don't think so...check your atlas,New Guinea is 10 x bigger than Vancouver Island,even New Zealand or Sakhalin islands are much bigger.
Indonesia and Philiphnes are on Pacific Ocean too.
As to the size Vancouver Island is on the bottom of the list.

I don't need to check an atlas bud.

New Guinea, Indonesia and the Phillipines are not in the Pacific Ocean. Neither is Sakhalin Island, not even close.

New Zealand is close, but it is generally considered to be in the Tasman Sea. Although a case could be made for it being in the Pacific.

Vancouver Island is on the bottom of the list? Do you realize how stupid that statement is? Just by your posts in this thread alone you sound like an idiot but really, are you that dim? There are hundreds and hundreds of islands in the Pacific. Check your atlas.

I'm sorry, but what is this drivel?

You make Canada sound like Iraq.

You go around with a knife? Are you some kind of psycho?

Aren't you from some other country anyway? Why haven't you been deported yet?

And what, exactly, is rabble/sheeple?

The funny thing is the other guys were joking about hockey sticks and maple syrup bombs but this guy is serious.

I'm a little freaked out there's guys like him walking around with a knife. Good thing he's 4000 km away.

Did you read my other posts ? I have knife with me for purerly defensife measures. I have been almost beaten and assaulted here few times.What my suppose to do? Just 2 weeks ago some punk wanted to start fight with me at the Bus terminal, of course I went to the security and they dealt with him.
You are smart because you have car but try to use transit late at night!

 

[Smurf]

Did it today. Got a girls number on the way.

Yeah right! If you were so bold, you would not be spending so much time on the internet.

Maybe even if she gave you her phone number, she propably was scared like **** of you and almost called police and accused you of stalking/raping.
By the way; flirting is not known in Canada.I have tried it few times and gave up on that- only money talks here not romance.

Ahh the true colors are starting to show. You're sour because you can't get a girlfriend!

Where are you actually from and why are you in Canada and why are you pissing all over the whole country?

I think you're one of those disturbed souls who takes a gun to school and kills everybody, sounds like it at least.

Unfortunatly our gun laws are lax enough that this fool could get his hands on one if he wanted.

Yes. Because it's impossible that the girl was genuinely interested. She must have thought he was going to rape her on the bus. Of course, what was I thinking...

Just because you're ugly and can't get girls doesn't mean others can't

Oh! now you mad at me because you have found out that I was right about all that Pacific Ocean stuff right?

I'M TELLING YOU MAN IT IS SO HARD TO MEET GIRL ON THE BUS,BECAUSE ONLY LOWLIFES USE PUBLIC TRANSIT( I CAN'T DRIVE CAR BECAUSE OF MY ILLNES, WOULD BE GREAT IF I COULD )

That girl you met,must one of them or some crazy chick be carefull.

 

[ek]

Oh! now you mad at me because you have found out that I was right about all that Pacific Ocean stuff right?

Actually I'm right and you are horribly wrong.

Bottom of the list?



You're a smart one there pal.

 

[Smurf]

well her skin was rather dark, there must've been something wrong with her...
Wow.. I almost called her, thank you tumor, you saved my life.

Tumor, are you serious? I mean honestly, this is one of the dumbest comments that I have ever read.

And as for "flirting not being known in Canada?" Seriously Tumor...that just makes me sad for you.

I'm serious more than you think.Not only people don't know how to flirt, they don't have any good manners here.(ever been on toronto subway) I advice you to take it once in a while to experience wild west(wear some old clothes because everything is sticky and dirt covered on the subway trains),
and try to avoid eye conntact, people here get mad quickly.
Truth hurts, I know, but you guys in the US have to know that myth of friendly,liberal and prosperous Canada is just a myth.

 

[revelator]

I don't think Canadians are this paranoid.

That's nonsense.

and try to avoid eye conntact, people here get mad quickly

So is that.
