    Churchy???????

    How do you figure that we are religious zealots?

    We have gay marriage, practically legalized marijuana, definite separation of church and state!!

    You have your fact wrong!!

    Canada is screaming for people, especially in Alberta coffee shop people are pulling in 10-14 per hour!!

    Trust me...they are relegious nutters...though yesterday they awarded the Order of Canada (kinda like a knighthood) to a doctor best known for performing illegal abortions (when they were illegal). So I can't quite figure them out.

    Unlike here the Canadian government now makes clear their biases towards/against specific groups.

    Dollar...only the dollar coin is a Loonie (cause of the loon bird on one side). The two dollar coin is called - naturally a twoonie. even though it has polar bears on it.

    80 for me - I've done this before and the plan is to move to Vancouver within the next couple of years. Everyone there is fantastic, so if you lot can carry on with your wretched little lives over here, we can keep things that way.

    Canada's biggest highway is in new Brunswick? sure its the Trans-Canada..but in most parts its two lanes (one each way).

    Still hilarious.

    Taxes have eased up recently..and they don't have Inheritence Tax. I imagine taxes are equivalent if not lower. IT salaries seem to be...from my experience...much higher there.

    75 points for me, trouble is I know that already and have been at the Mrs for years to move but she don't want to leave family over here.

    My brother is in Alberta and we go over every other year, it's great, we all love it. And Alberta is booming at the moment due to all the Oil they found in the sand there. Land is dirt cheap out there if you want to live like the Waltons
