OMG!!! Put your guns down cowboys! Glad to see it's the same over there as it is here - Edinburgh vs Glasgow, North vs South, Scotland, Wales & Ireland vs England...
Still, I know we're not making the wrong choice. It's not like we've just picked a city name out of a hat here. We've researched it quite a bit and chose Calgary for a few reasons, mainly property prices, no PST, plus the close proximity to the Rockies, and Leah's there :D
Came to Toronto a couple of years back and LOVED it. Great place, people (hi Exador, Piperboy and the rest of you guys!), food, shopping and The Horseshoe Bar! I'd love to come back to visit again but I couldn't see myself living there in the same way I think of London - I love the place but see it as more of a "go nuts" holiday destination.
Plus like Leah said, you don't have to spend the rest of your life in the same place. Canada's the 2nd largest country in the world and has half the population of the UK! And 1/6th of those people are from overseas! There's enough room for everyone! Plus the strict controls on immigration means no useless waste of space losers will be given a Visa - they'll be educated, healthy respectable people. Every new person that lands on Canadian soil is making it a better place.
We can't wait to get across! OK so it's going to cost us close to £5k to do it and will take 2 to 3 years but it's worth it. Just keep a couple of nice cold beers in the fridge for us for when we arrive :)
P.S. Thanks to everyone for welcoming us, even though we're not there yet!!!
