Ah don't worry - i'm used to drinking the Kool Aid but yeah - truly it is never too late and its always better to create change in life than to sort of get stuck in the gutter.. There's always pins to knock down..

I don't care if you mean it or not. I jist feel like unless you try to go the safe route here you get struck with endless amounts of criticisms and negativity. It's just nice when Ppl blindly give you positivity. Whether they mean it or not. It is truly quite powerful. I wish more people would do it. Reality will hit regardless anyway

Maybe not the best place for the overly self centreed ambitious following. Famous types. But those content with living a decent Life. safe and conservative. But too boring to make a story out of.
I actually prefer how Canada advocates moderate prosperity for all of their people, as opposed to the all-or-nothing deal we get here in the States. There is definitely less of a caste system up there. I think Canada has some of the best qualities of both Europe and the US.

Jeeeeeze Louise!

It has got to be an age thing for my complete chagrin with your posts.

Were my father to ever hear my brother or I expressing ourselves thusly. His disdain would have been palpable and unforgettable with perhaps a trip to any number of places where people were far less fortunate, to spend some quality time with forced interaction with folks unable to compete or pattern their existence at all.

His first stop would have been a now defunct Ontario Hospital just a short drive away, where people with disabilities of the full range would have been warehoused by their embarrassed/bored/lazy families to never again see the light of day. Down's syndrome, birth defects of the withered arm or club foot variety, anything at all deemed an embarrassment, was an excuse for some to be put away thusly.

You're spending time anonymously typing away your irrelevant angst on a computer connected to the WWW soliciting solace or confirmation from strangers.........

My working life is over ten years behind me now and I've done my daily bike ride, gardening, hobby metalwork/woodwork stuff out in my workshop for a couple of hours and am now taking a lunch break before going back out to finish sandblasting some outdoor light fixtures before re-coating them a more modern colour.

Get a grip kid!

I don't care if you agree or not. But are you too not typing your opinions anonymously on the www?

Seems hypocritical and you are just upset that I don't think canada is the greatest place ever. Believe me you don't have to hear my opinions as I will move to the usa.

Relax. Old man.

Move there then. The bandwagon might be a little full, though.

Why do u care so much if I don't think canada is so great? I'm sure American feel the same about usa. Wanting to come to Canada.

You have such an inferiority complex.

No no you have it backwards. You have the inferiority complex of Canadians which is getting SO old.
"Boo hoo I don't like Canada so I'm gonna move to America where the flag looks pretty"
It just honestly reminds me of a 13 year-old kid, can't get any more basic than that. So much for uniqueness.
All I can say is good luck trying to move to the US from Canada, as the process is 3x harder than vice versa.
America is a country of 330 million people and would rather take in immigrants from war-torn 3rd world countries who are desperate for a life chance to come to the US and become successful... instead of an ungrateful Canadian who already lives in a developed country who wants to move to America just because its "cooler".
