Doesn't rain + cold = ice? That might be worse than just the snow alone.

I gave Florida some thought when I was so cold here this winter, but if I look out and see a yard full of iguanas, I'd be trapped in the house. They do not rub me the right.

What you like about Toronto?


And the question is similar for everybody else too. Canada sounds more like a necessary evil. Surely, there must be something good about it. What do you like about living where you are?

do what the smart Canucks do..
while u may need to bust your a-- to pay your dues in the begining so as to setup a strong foundation.
overtime build a revenue source that allows you to enjoy Canadiana Aprils(ish)to November(ish) then escape to your condo in Floria for a couple months.

Bear inmind that while many hype about the weather, this last winter (for example) was noting compared to what our friends down south suffered. If you still have youth and drive, not disillusional that this is a bed a rose, willing to do some grunt work, then Canada could be a viable option. But remember its a entire country, suh it depens alot on where u decide to eke out your likkle Kingdom.
Now while u mention Toronto, bear inmind there are some places there you'd want to avoid..
Also, Brampton may come up, but as u mention that u plan on having kids, that should be a No-No..
Also avoid Rexdale, Malton, Scarboro and a few other yard faves..
Lower yuh expectations, increase the desire fi hustle and it may be a rewarding move..

Laidback easy going lifestyle....scenery we have everything.....

Ocean, rivers, waterfall, wildlife (animals) and the other wildlife party, clubbing thought I would make that crystal clear

If you are a nature buff just a short drive to see the whales a hopping, watch bears in their natural habitat.

Where I am everyone watches out for you,call you dearie even though me juss call dem fass, family dont have to phone me dem tep outside an sumaddie will say I jus saw stormmie over there cho love them tho

Where else you can get a speeding ticket and appeal to the heart of the Cops to not give you the ticket...<span style="font-style: italic">you know how sometime because the car fast you doan realize sey yu speeding </span>

Where you live is considered country, on the edge of the forest but just half-hour drive into the city and the night life, shopping etc.

If you have a skill or profession jobs are here

In general if people dont see you come to town for couple days they start enquiring if something is wrong. Saved a woman life couple years ago when she fell into a coma at home she lived alone.

They still have welcoming committee for newcomers out here.

Jamaicans get nuff respect

The one little jamaican/Trinadadian eatery in town is always busy me cannot even get a likkle bly to get me likkle oxtail dinna seeing that is me first did discover it when people was saying oh I do not like spicy food. A mean comeon is me did tell dem that tone dung the Scotch Bonnie peppa

Especially if you are a newcomer to town people will give you little tips on best shopping, bargains, invite you for coffee, tea (if you are like me you will pass on it) if you have kids they will go out of their way to welcome the likkle darlings <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Click to reveal.. <input type="button" class="form-button" value="Show me!" onclick="toggle_spoiler(this, 'Yikes, my eyes!', 'Show me!')" /></div><div class="ubbcode-body"><div style="display: none;">likkle monsters.....and few a dem a wone bax dung iiesi</div></div></div>

Ahhhh life good out here for the most part where I am in BC

It is far from &quot;free&quot; but it is available to all, rich or poor. Kinda like Obamacare!

Nothing wrong with Brampton. I lived there for 15 years and enjoyed the diversity. Now I'm in Mississauga, expensive to live here but very nice.
