Hi all:
Firs time poster. This forum is great!
I am living in FL planning on a move to BC (Vancouver) next year. I have some questions for you all - your input is appreciated!
1) If you are a Canadian who's lived/living in the USA, what do you see the major differences are (culture/work)?
Well, I never lived in Vancouver, nor would I want to live in that cesspit (kidding kidding), but being a former resident of the United States for five years, there are a few differences, but nothing really worth noting. Americans are a bit more religious, Canadians a bit more egotistical when dealing with the United States, but nothing really mind blowing.

2) What do you like better about Canada?
People are generally a bit more friendlier, not noticeably so, (city people are generally still uptight assholes, for example, doesn't matter if you're in Montreal or NYC), but I think I prefer the small things, like the more greenness in cities, and...I enjoy the cold weather.

3) What does Canada have to offer that the US doesn't?
Ketchup Chips, Coffee Crisps, Smarties (M&Ms are better) Caramilk, flavored tuna, these really good Sweet and Sour/Cherry sauces by VH (good shit), more greenness.

4) If you are a Canadian, do you have any desire to live in the USA?
Well currently as a student, no, but depending on my future career goals, I have no idea...too many options right now, but if I was given the opportunity, I wouldn't say no.
