Default How Is Canada?

It seems like most of the members here are from Canada and ive always wondered what it would be like there,i live in Louisiana and it kind of sucks here,all my friends I went to school with is either dead or in jail for drugs,Ive always told myself if I move away from here id move to Canada,USA is the laughing stock of the world,we have people rioting for nothing,crazy crime rates, and WAY too populated here,id like to go somewhere peaceful,nothing with crazy strict laws either,i heard you cant own guns in Canada,which I don't really mind,Does Canada like americans? i know a lot of countries don't like use LOL

Hi `Word, I grew up on a isolated beach in Indian River county Fl,

but now I presently live on the spacecoast in one of Grandpa Space's condo's. Presently I don't know where I'm going 2 live tomorrow. I did have a condo @ Cocoa Beach, Fl, but sold it because I thought I was going out of country, but things change.
Life seems to be in constant change for me lately, so I just live day 2 day & keep working on my dreams.

I also don't like Big City, I know I don't like the big cities in Florida & liked it a lot better on my home beach...(Sadly, it's getting more populated. I also like peaceful area & people. Getting harder to find Wish you good luck on finding a job that pays U $'s 2 survive & work on your dream Monte...Good Luck

Canada is a great place to live. I have lived in three different provinces and in many cities throughout the provinces. Driven almost all the way across the country and seen so much stuff I could write a book. From the salmon spawning and turning the river red, to mining towns and actually panning for gold while I was living in British Columbia. Lived in Saskatchewan and hated it, just too flat and depressing for my taste, but there was a few positives about living there, snowmobiling was awesome but the skiing sucked lol. Currently in Ontario and couldn't ask for a nicer place to live. People are friendly and welcoming no matter where you go in canada with the exception of quebec lol, just kidding for the most part everyone is nice, but as with any place in the world you always get those exceptions to the rules.

Living in the "Land of the 1000 islands" is nice, I have about 30 lakes within a 45 minute drive of my place, and the St. Lawrence river literally 4 minutes from my house, so I get some incredible views every time I go for a drive.

There is the dreaded Canadian winter that can be tough at times, but usually it's not as bad as people lead it to believe, but this year was a bad year, but I sold my snowblower a few years ago after not using it for 4 years, so that must say something lol

I've seen a few countries in my travels and as much as I loved some of them I prefer Canada for the most part, but given the chance I'd move to florida or california near the beach in a heartbeat, or any of the tropical islands (but the novelty of the islands would probably wear off when I couldn't go for a nice long drive lol)

So to sum it up, if you ever get the chance to come up, you really should, we have a lot to offer for scenery and entertainment, granted our music industry and television industry just doesn't compare to the USA, but we do have some kick but bar bands (mine being one of them hehehe) and some of the most beautiful scenery you could ever imagine.

I live in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Windsor shares the U.S. / Canadian border with Detroit, Michigan.

Fun fact: Windsor is the only Canadian city that looks NORTH to the United States.

Here's a couple links that will tell you more about Windsor. The first one is the link to the city's official website.

Here's the Wikipedia page on Windsor...

Ive heard it gets pretty cold up there,but its more of a dry cold. Down here in Louisiana we always have high humidity so when it gets cold and the wind blows it feels like its cutting through your skin,40 degrees here is freezing cold
