Canadian Possibilities

[AL9000]

Your teacher and Brendan would get along like a house on fire!

I too am considering a move over to Canada, the wife is a primary school teacher and she has the opportunity to do a teacher swap. Short gist of it is the couple swap lives for a year.
If we can get a good place in Vancouver, we will be all over it. The ice hockey, the mountain biking, the snowboarding, hiking in awesome forests, fishing in glacial rivers, the maple syrup. I gotta get over there at some point. It seems like such a cool place.

@brendan

this is true. i’ll refine my statement: winnipeg is rad in the transition seasons.

i do, however, stand by my earlier statement. i can only suggest that one man’s new york city is another man’s moe.

edit: to clarify, in this example, edmonton is moe.

HEY HEY HEY!!!
Thats enough of the Moe bashing!!!

I have a friend who lives in Moe. Nice guy, but is missing most of his teeth, and does to many drugs for his own good.

I would give anything to move to a place with decent “ride to the ride” quality mountain biking. As much as I think the Yarra Trails are fun, they’re shit to ride on a regular basis.

@thomy

ive got this teacher behind me, shes canadian. She moved here 6 months ago. she didnt live in edmonton, but she said its a shit hole. its cold ninemonths of the year, its in the middle on nowhere, the whole place is bassed around a shopping mall.

is she from toronto? people from toronto think their town is better than everywhere else. standard saying 'toronto: its not the centre of the universe, but the residents are pretty sure you can see it from there"

people from canada also often refer to BC as “the 51st state”.
