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.

$1:
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.

$1:
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.

$1:
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.

I am currently going to try get move there as well. And for one, our family 4 generations back originally move from Europe to Canada. Then 2 generations ago the family moved to the US. So far I am the only one in my family that is interested in moving, I guess you could say "back there".

My reasons...
The culture- I love beer, I love hockey, I love the cold, I love the outdoors. Now I know there is so much more then that but you cant say its NOT part of the culture ;)
The climate- Like I said I love the winter season. I don't mind the cold. I used to the -10s/-20s(F) -or- -25s/-30(C).
The outdoors- You have lakes and tree and I love driving from city to city and all all you see is the outdoor :D
The People- You guys are NOT arrogant assholes. And I am a nice, polite, and very tolerant person. And those type of people don't make it in America for some reason :roll:

I don't even care about the health care or making money. If I do move there, I will be happy with just living life and having a home, food, and with hope a family...just enjoying living. In America, there is a stressed feeling of making money, having high educations, and having a stressful job..always living with a "fear".

My only cons
The only thing I have to worry about is driving long distances with icy road conditions. And I guess making friends and fitting in.

Caffeine- I love it, I cant live without...probably just because I'm addicted to it.
