Y'know, I used to think that. I changed my mind.

I like the setting in live in now, but I haven't seen too many other places in the United States that I'd want to live. I do know that I'd happily live in Victoria, outside of Vancouver proper, Kelowna, or even Halifax.

If you visit Canada, and you don't mind the cool (or the mosquito, the national bird), I'd bet you could find plenty of nice places. They tend to be a decent sort, which is more'n can be said for much of our lot (the 'Merkins).

The problem is, as an immigrant to Canada, I'd have to pay my own way without working...I don't have that kind of wealth. They don't want my skills background at all (I'm not a computer nerd) so I couldn't earn income....as I understand it. I have thought about retiring there, though.

Hey, maybe I could go drive slow on their roads!
