snuggles- i like your take on it. :-)
i really want to move to toronto, but NYC would probably be a lot easier due to the work permit stuff.PS. your work is hot.

do you really want to deal with 6 months of shit weather?

cheers man, yeah we've chatted before, I just don't see Toronto as a place to go for people in the design industry unless you love Canada and never want to leave. The country has a lot going for itself, but if you strive to be the best in your field, it ain't gonna happen here. Globally we are fairly insignificant when it comes to design, who's are greatest contemp, Mr. Mau? He can lick my nutsack...

heyy!!
im on a board of directors with him!! dont diss him!
he really has some abstract shit.. but its still hot!
- snuggles0
better board of directors than an employee I suppose. Don't get me wrong, his head is in the right place, I'm just not keen on his personal business practices nor his execution most of the time...

plenty of work these days in toronto...plus i would imagine opportunites for geologists like your wife (plenty of uni's and schools, labs that sorta thing..plus the ministry of environment in Peterborough, only an hour away...
as for the comment on Bruce Mau, i'll only add this..
a possible client approached us a while back and wanted us to look at some of their material and website..
it was fucking awful...and i mean BAD.
produced by?
you guessed it..
Bruce Mau design..
not saying he did it himself...probably some junior there...but yeeeghads..it was some of the worst design i've seen in ages...
more than one of the images was just COVERED in KPT filters..
thought that shit was over in the 90's..
couldn't believe it.
they people hated it, thus why they approached us...
(this was during my time at Allstream IT)
sadly, our concepts rocked, but the sales guy ruined it all..
fucking sales guys.

Toronto is a very nice city but if you're looking for opportunity, go to NY.
