Hey, cool thread

I have never had the urge to visit Canada, and never really understood why anyone would.

I happened to bump into a couple of Swiss tourists last week, and all I could think was "you travelled all the way from Switzerland...for this???"

damosuzuki said:

Yeah, I feel the same way about tourists in the US.

Canada's ok I suppose, eh!

But it was too cold for me. Similar to Australia and America culturally, but without the good weather and normal ways of talking and stuff.

No wonder since the "World" Series is only open to North American teams. The real world championship of baseball is the World Baseball Classic where Japan is the current title holder. Cuba finished in second place and the US made it to the quarter finals. So there.

There are a lot more reasons than that. I wish i could move to the states.

Do it up then. Don't think you have to stay here.

I have no interest in moving to another country. I like it here, even if we are the leaders in shitty tv, movies, and music.

JustErin said:

Well it beats the US.. not sure why anyone moves here..
We have the shittiest leaders

JustErin said:

I love Erins attitude.

Anyway Spats, why DO YOU feel U need to stay.

U seem like someone that does what he wants anyway.

If I had to move out of Canada I would probably move to England.

My dad is not Canadian, he's Scottish...so would that mean I could move to the UK without needing a visa or anything along those lines?

I really have no idea about any of this stuff.

I blame Imago for everything.

Maybe Spats & I can switch.. I can go to Canada and he can move to US- sounds like a fair trade..

Thanks, but we don't want him over here. We'd much rather have you.

shanti0608 said:

First order of business when you get here is drinks. I am very overdue for a night out like that.

JustErin said:

Hell yes!!!!! Sounds great to me!

TMPletz said:

Thanks..maybe I will just visit Canada. I have another country in mind to move to..

JustErin said:

I'd move to Ottawa.....

I'd need a place to crash though.....

abierman said:

JustErin said:
