If you choose to, you have the opportunity to meet* White Cat or Hale.

As well, after the exchange rate, your savings will grow by 31%.

Lastly, there is a place in Canada that hardly ever gets snow - just watch out for all the Azns in Vancouver.

*beat the living crap out of

Canada is pretty in the summer (only live there in the summer and then go away)

We have lots of different types of restaurants, and girls wear less clothes in winter than in summer (yeah i found that strange too)

Also filesharing is more legal here than it is in your crazy united states

Canada has fewer homeless people -- they have a program to deal with them called "winter".

Housing is very cheap, assuming you don't mind an igloo.

*bashes Atma with a sledgehammer* Should I point out that it's been 55 Farenheit here for the past three days?

It depends on where in Canada you want to live in - a major metropolis like Toronto, Vancouver, or Hicksville North aka Edmonton will be expensive ($1200 a month or so) if you can find anything. However, I'm in a smaller city and my apartment only costs $655/month for two bedrooms + heat & hot water.

People tend to be very anal about where you have your schooling here, but the job market appears to be drying up quite a bit in the technology sector, so I dunno.

As Donald mentioned, it really depends where you live, there are places that range from very cheap but still nice, but usually they are a pain to commute from if you have to go anywhere for a job.

Nevermind that a majority of Canada is permafrost...

Move to England and work for British Aerospace, you'd be right up the road from all of us.
