Spot on ? no way matey Haven’t locked the house since the day we moved in Sept 2006 , never lock our vehicles , people look you in the face and say good morning whilst holding open the door , no anti social behavior around here , kids come out of school and are bright happy and pleasant company , the media are positive , success is celebrated rather than mocked or frowned upon ,there are seldom any traffic issues other than weather related , oh and you can walk around downtown on the weekends without being spewed on or having to slap a chav .
I could go on in Carryfast style but am quite content to call Canada home ,the thought of tolerating life in PC ridden Britain with all it’s negativity even before the next influx from Eastern Europe would fill me with horror . This place isn’t Utopia but in comparison I know where I’d rather live and that’ll be in a free world .Yeap this is home now .That is how I remember Canada from my time growing up. Canada will always be where I think of as home. My sons, having heard me talk about Canada while they were growing up, all moved to Canada themselves when they were old enough and things here were sliding downhill. I always said that if things went bad in England I would go back to Canada. I was born in the UK, emigrated at age 3 and returned aged 13, so although I only lived there for 10 years, I still think of myself as more Canadian than British. I’m proud to be Canadian, I’m not nearly so proud to be British even though I’ve been living in Britain since 1967. My sons all say they have no intention of ever moving back to England and want me to move back to Canada too. I probably will when my retirement beckons but at the moment I live in a reasonably nice area with little social problems and I’m earning more here than I could in Canada simply because the population density in Canada is too low for my business to be viable there and they don’t have the same H & S culture which helps me get work here.
There’s obviously no room in your ideas then for any view which would say that the place is just an extension of Britain in which the only reason to regard one as ‘home’ and one not,would be in the same way as I’d view Surrey as home compared to anywhere else in Britain.Somehow I think your view goes against everything that Canada’s British colonial founders intended for it and is an insult to those British troops who died fighting with the French etc to make the place what it was and became over the years.I think they’d now be turning in their graves to see such a load of seperatist anti British bs being put out by those who regard the place as a totally seperate entitity with entry there now being based on some abitrary elitist ideas of those like yourself.All of which I might have expected and understood from a French Canadian colonist but not a British one.
Are you just bitter you couldn’t make a go of it over there?
Those zb’s at the Canadian immigration authorities here wouldn’t let him in over there.Even though there was a British Canadian,who regarded himself as British,who thought that he’d be up to doing the job better than employing a zb Canadian to do it.
Fixed that.
That’s assuming anyone is stupid enough to think that the whole issue of Brits needing to go through the Canadian ‘immigration process’,then or now,isn’t just a big quota scam to rig the labour markets,both here and there,in the employers favour.
